Currently it connects to api.github.com for checking updates which is enabled by default and no option to disable it.

https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Anti-Features/#Tracking

Checking for updates without the user knowledge or permission isn't allowed on both F-Droid/IzzyOnDroid. Request to disable the update checker or make it opt-in i.e. disabled by default.

Okay, I wasn't aware of that before. I'll add an option to enable update checking.
