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.

What’s new (1.38.3)

The link catalog is now asked about on first launch; no network requests until you turn it on.
