OctoLab requests the "install packages" permission solely to let you install release APKs you choose to download from a project's Releases page within the app — it is never used automatically or in the background.

OctoLab began as a GitLab-focused fork of OctoDroid (gh4a), an open-source GitHub client, and is maintained by SecNinjaz. OctoLab is not affiliated with or endorsed by GitLab Inc. GitLab is a trademark of GitLab Inc.

Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
