AppShelf File Managers app for Android description
AppShelf keeps a list of the apps installed on your phone — name, package, version, where each one came from and when it was installed — so you can get them all back after a factory reset or on a new phone.
The list
- All installed apps sorted by name, with letter headers and search by name, package or your notes
- Source of every app: Google Play, F-Droid, Aurora Store, Obtainium, RuStore, GetApps, Galaxy Store, AppGallery, Amazon — or an APK file, including the app it was opened from
- Install date, version, last update; filters by source; system apps optional
- Notes and your own download links (GitHub, Telegram, direct APK) for any app, plus a shared link catalog
- What changed: installs and removals by day, comparison with another phone
Save
- Save the list as JSON, Markdown or CSV, share it as text, or autosave it to a file on every start
- WebDAV sync on a schedule (e.g. Nextcloud, Yandex Disk) with a folder per phone and several versions; a missed send is caught up later
- Backups of APK files you cannot get anywhere else — to a folder or to the server
- Save and restore AppShelf's own settings — to a file or the server, with or without the WebDAV password
Restore
- Open a saved list and see what is missing; install each app from its store, your link or an APK backup — or all of them in a row
- Updates for apps from GitHub releases
Design
- Material 3 Expressive, themes: system, light, dark, graphite, AMOLED black; optional transparency
- Soft blurred edges, haptic feedback, long-press help on every button
No ads, no trackers, no account. Network is used only for what you set up yourself: your WebDAV server, the link catalog and GitHub releases.
