Obtainium installs
Use GitHub Releases as an Android update path.
Obtainium can install Android APKs from GitHub Releases and check those release pages for future updates. For FMI apps, this gives advanced Android users a non-Play install route while keeping the public source repository and the downloadable APK in the same place.

Both apps publish signed APKs as release assets on their public source repositories.
Fallback
Google Play
Most users should use Google Play if they want the simplest installation and update path.
Step-by-step
Install Obtainium from its official project page or another source you trust. Open Obtainium, choose to add an app, paste one of the FMI GitHub repository URLs below, and let Obtainium detect the latest APK from the repository's Releases page.
When Android asks for permission to install apps from Obtainium, allow it only if you are comfortable using this direct APK route. You can remove that permission later in Android settings.

Direct APKs
These are the same release assets that Obtainium watches. Direct downloads are useful for one-off installs, while Obtainium is better if you want update checks.

What to expect
Obtainium is for users who are already comfortable installing APKs outside Google Play. It does not turn FMI into an app store; it simply watches the release pages we already publish. If that feels fiddly, Google Play is the right path.
FMI APK releases are provided to improve access, transparency, and user choice. They do not change the app privacy stance: Chatty-Pet remains local-first with device-local progress, and Chatty-mini sends data to a cloud provider only when the user explicitly configures and selects that provider.
