App Manager - Android package manager | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

App Manager - Android package manager

A full-featured open source package manager for android.

New in version 3.1.6

- Funding campaign dates have been updated as this is going to be the last campaign in many years.
- [Security] Update vulnerable dependencies.

App Manager began by merging the features of App_packages Info (formerly Application Info), ClassyShark3xodus, Activity Launcher and Watt into a single app with material design and dark mode to give a modern look and feel.

Features:

Free and open source

Material design (and a nice UI)

No useless permissions requested

Does not connect to the Internet without explicit permission from the user

Display as much information as possible in the main window

Lists activities, broadcast receivers, services, providers, permissions, signatures, shared libraries, etc. of any app

Launch (exportable) activities, create (customizable) shortcuts

Block any activities, broadcast receivers, services or providers with native import/export as well as Watt and Blocker import support (requires root)

Revoke dangerous permissions (requires root/ADB)

Disable any app ops, therefore any hidden permissions (requires root/ADB)

Scan for trackers in apps and list (all or only) tracking classes (and their code dump)

Generate dynamic manifest for any application

View/edit/delete shared preferences of any app (requires root)

View/kill/force-stop running apps/process (requires root/ADB)

View app usage, data usage and app storage info (requires “Usage Access” permission)

Apk file sharing (hence the use of a provider)

Clear app data or app cache (requires root/ADB)

Batch operations: clear app data, disable run in background, disable/kill/uninstall apps

One-click operations: block ads/tracker components, block components by signature, block multiple app ops

...and other minor features such as installing/uninstalling/updating/enabling/disabling apps, displaying app installation info, opening on F-Droid, Aurora Droid or Aurora Store.

It basically combines the features of 5 or 6 apps that any tech-savvy person needs to use in order to have a life.

See the instructions page within the app for more information on how to use the app.
