How to update ALL apps f-droid via PC?

1

Hello everyone.

Please tell me how to update all F-droid applications via a computer. I have read different sources and opinions, many users report that updating via a phone and the official F-droid application does not work stably, for a very long time with errors.

It is obvious that it would be faster to update all applications via a computer.

I would be grateful for your advice.

links please? works fine for me, update to latest 1.21.1

It’s not to me, but you can try GitHub - mvdan/fdroidcl: F-Droid desktop client

If that was true I imagine F-Droid would be snowed under with complaints from dissatisfied users, yet I have seen nothing of that sort here.

I would not like my question to be misunderstood, I can find several links where users reported unstable operation of the application, but this makes no sense, since there are no ideal programs or something ideally working)

The most important question is, what application exists for a personal computer to update all applications installed on the phone? I know that there are forks of f-droid, but this is for the phone, and what is there for the computer?

If the fdroidcl program could recognize downloaded APK applications and be able to update them, it would be cool)

Share them, please

What error did you encounter while using it?

There were no errors, the program is cool.

Is it possible to update all applications using this program (fdroidcl)?

I saw some posts on reddit

I see these commands, I’ll try them now

Show all available updates, and install them:

fdroidcl search -u
fdroidcl install -u

269 stars Why so few stars on github?)) another big one from me :star2:

Sorry, is your idea a joke?
Update Android apps via PC, while you have at least one usable and stable client, because “people say”?
I’ve been using F-droid app (basic version better for me) and haven’t noticed any instability you mention, that “people say”.
I wanted some more modern interface, so I’ve tried another couple clients like G-droid, Neo-store and Droid-ify to finally end up with Droid-ify, that I use on all of my devices (currently 3 but there were more to test). I’m using D-ify on a daily basis since months and would recommend to anyone.

Hi.

Sorry, I didn’t understand what you mean when you said I was joking?

I checked the fdroidcl program and it works great, that’s what I was looking for. My question was that I want to update all f-droid apps via my computer, not via apps like f-droid, G-droid, Neo-store, Droid-ify.

Hi. Please tell me if I didn’t add different repositories, does the tr program see updates for programs that I want to update, such as IzzyOnDroid or Session or not?

How can I structure the appearance of the fdroidcl command output?
For example, when I enter:

    $ fdroidcl search fdroid 
    alt.nainapps.sharepaste.fdroid Share Paste O2 - 2024.11.16 (1731762268) 
    Share pastes privately, with end to end encryption. 
    app.shosetsu.android.fdroid Shosetsu - 2.4.4-fdroid (45) 
    The extendable novel reader for Android. 
    ca.classicdiy.classic MidniteSolar Classic Monitor MQTT - (308) 
    Monitors the Midnite Solar Classic & Tristar MPPT charge controllers. 
    cc.narumi.chaldea.fdroid Chaldea - 2.5.17 (978) 
    Material Planner for Fate/GO 
    com.aefyr.sai.fdroid SAI - 4.5 (60) 
    SAI lets you install and export split APKs

How can I make this conclusion look more structured? more understandable and beautiful, if I may say so?
