1 Ink Update watches Rebind and its extensions. When a new version is ready, it
2 makes a notification.
3 
4 The app does not install anything. It finds the new version and opens the page.
5 You install it.
6 
7 Rebind has no internet permission. This app has it, so Rebind does not need it.
8 You can remove Ink Update at any time, and Rebind keeps working.
9 
10 It watches Rebind, Ink Recents, Ink Dim and Ink Update. It shows only the ones
11 that are on your device.
12 
13 It looks in three places, in this order. First F-Droid: if F-Droid has a newer
14 build, the app opens the F-Droid page. Then Google Play: if Google Play
15 installed the app, Google Play updates it, and Ink Update stops there. Then
16 GitHub: the app reads the last ten releases and takes the newest one that is
17 not a draft.
18 
19 If an F-Droid client installed the app, Ink Update stops after the F-Droid
20 answer and never offers a GitHub download.
21 
22 The app checks once when you first open it. Tap "Check now" to look again.
23 The daily check is on by default. Turn off "Check once a day" to stop it.
24 
25 The app sends no identifier, no account, no advertisement and no analytics. It
26 contacts two hosts, f-droid.org and api.github.com. Each one sees your IP
27 address and the name of the package or the repository, and nothing else.
28 
29 Made for e-ink readers and any Android 12 or later.

31 Free software, GPL-3.0-or-later.
