Trying to setup obtainium and I'm forgetting just where I got some of my apps from. Does anyone know if I can get a list of all the apps that I've installed by repo? This could be just a way to achieve this or an app itself - not too fussed, but I feel updating my foss apps is getting on top of me. Thanks.

In some cases you will need to uninstall/reinstall if you have already installed from another store, like F-Droid. I'm only saying this because I don't have a good answer to your question, other than to go through app by app. Sorry.

Thanks. That's my main issue - trying to re-install apps from foss repos. If nothing is available then I guess - as you say, I'll just have to write them all down and go through them one by one. Not to even mention when I replace this aged phone.

At least Obtainium has an import/export feature of you ever replace your phone.

Good to know. Cheers.

EDIT: Lol, my mistake. Not asking about Linux repos

I think that's kind of the problem with obtainium. You have to search from GitHub search api so it's easy to install from a malicious fork if you don't pay attention.

Interesting, I never considered malicious forks. Thanks for the heads up.
