Pushlink is an agent-based service for keeping private Android applications updated without a third-party update process. Administrators upload encrypted APK files; Pushlink says traffic uses SSL and hosted files are not published or installed by others. Devices can enroll through QR codes, an API and CLI, or revocable safe links. After uploading an APK, administrators can make it current and choose status-bar, popup, or background updates. The service reports online and offline installations, update counts, device status, last contact, and device ID, with optional model, IMEI, SIM, or IP details. Exception alerts arrive by email, with Java stack traces and the last 100 Android LogCat lines captured. A web API handles APK uploads outside the administration panel and provides device metadata. Official integrations include.NET and Cordova; community plugins exist for Flutter, React Native, and Gradle but are not supported by Pushlink. The Free plan costs nothing for up to five installations. Monthly per-installation billing is available with volume discounts; price is calculated from installation count.
