What is Updainium?

Inspired by the incredible Obtainium, Updainium is natively tailored for your desktop operating system.

Stop relying on outdated package managers or checking websites manually. Updainium tracks public repositories across multiple forges, monitors for new releases, and downloads the exact file extension you need for your OS—directly from the developer's source.

[!IMPORTANT] macOS Users: You may see a warning that Apple cannot verify Updainium. This happens because the app is distributed outside the App Store and is not notarized yet. Allow it via System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

[!IMPORTANT] Linux Users: Updainium disables WebKitGTK's DMABUF renderer by default because it can display horizontal rendering artifacts on some distributions and GPU drivers.

Limitations

For some sources that lack standardized APIs, Updainium gathers data using web scraping. This means tracking can occasionally break if the source website changes its design. In these specific edge cases, more reliable methods may temporarily be unavailable. See LEGAL.md: users are responsible for evaluating the software they choose to download and run.
