# Install BigBrainParking

BigBrainParking is distributed through **Obtainium** — a free, open-source app updater.
No Google Play, no account. Works great on **GrapheneOS** and any Android phone.

## 1. Get Obtainium (once)

Install Obtainium from **F-Droid** or its GitHub releases:
- F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid: search "Obtainium"
- or https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium/releases (grab the `.apk`)

## 2. Add BigBrainParking

**Easiest — one tap:** open this link on your phone (with Obtainium installed):

> `obtainium://add/https://git.mowden.top/hank/BigBrainParking`

It opens Obtainium's Add screen pre-filled. Tap **Add**.

**Manual (if the link doesn't work):**
1. Open Obtainium → **Add App**.
2. Paste the source URL:
   ```
   https://git.mowden.top/hank/BigBrainParking
   ```
3. If asked for a source type, choose **Forgejo** (git.mowden.top runs Forgejo).
4. Tap **Add**.

## 3. Install & update

Obtainium shows the latest version — tap **Install**. GrapheneOS/Android will ask you to
allow installs from Obtainium the first time; approve it.

From then on, Obtainium notifies you when a new version is released and updates in a tap.

## Notifications (optional)

Parking-expiry reminders work on-device with **no Google services**. For any future
server-pushed notifications, install **ntfy** (F-Droid) and set it as your UnifiedPush
distributor — BigBrainParking will use it automatically.
