原帖原话

“Obtainium installs and updates apps straight from their releases pages and notifies on new versions — just add a URI. Does a desktop-OS equivalent exist?”

“Obtainium 可以直接从项目 release 页安装和更新 App,新版本发布还有通知——我只需要贴一个 GitHub 项目地址。桌面系统上有对应工具吗?”

I see there is still Windows to be addressed in the answers. There is a solution I use for Windows, but it requires Winget ; it is called Winget-AutoUpdate .

Currently, the best equivalent, for UNIX-based OSes, is the CLI-based github.com/marcosnils/bin . Although it also works on Windows, if github.com/Devolutions/UniGetUI/issues/4523 is ever completed, it shall provide a significantly superior user experience. The Original Answer For the majority of Linux-based OSes, the Python + GTK3 release of github.com/PlebOne/autonomix was a near-1:1 equivalent: [1] Features 📦 Track GitHub releases from any repository 🔄 Check for updates with one click ⬇️ Install packages directly ( .deb , .rpm , AppImage, Flatpak, Snap) However, since it was rewritten in
