Features

Every APK editor feature, on-device

A complete tour of Manifesto: file manager, APK decompiler, Smali editor and APK signer, from moving files to patching native code.

File manager

Two panes that feel like a desktop

  • Sliding or split panels; list, grid or compact views
  • Swipe-to-select and smart Select by date, type or name
  • Copy and move straight to the other pane
  • Checksums, permissions (chmod), bookmarks and root paths
  • Background tasks with progress notifications
