    Agree on this. Feel fdroid could attach a unique ID to each package version and then insert and update that text file holding it every time. Kind of like a package lock (Python, nvm, etc.)

    Export the file, import on new and it just fetches the necessary versions of apps.

      Absolutely, I belive Obtainium just saves the list to a json. My mind was blown when I discovered there was no way to move devices with fdroid.

      Also, definitely make it automatic, it’s super easy for app stores. Obtainium updates the backup whenever you add or remove an app.

      Sort of a tangent - I had to set up an automation with Tasker for Fuelio to back it up through the GUI, even though it could definitely do the same thing when you add a fillup, updating the backup.
