Android OSS Release Tracker lets you keep track of updates to Open Source Applications directly from their resp. repositories.

The application uses the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission in order to fetch the currently installed version of each app in the tracker to compare against.

* Subscribe to Android OSS repositories (GitHub and GitLab)
* Compare versions with what you have installed on the device
* Opens new version in browser for you to install yourself
