OctoLab requests the "install packages" permission solely to let you install release APKs you choose to download from a project's Releases page within the app — it is never used automatically or in the background.

OctoLab began as a GitLab-focused fork of Octodroid (gh4a), an open-source GitHub client, and is maintained by SecNinjaz.
