APKVault: extract, backup and analyze your Android apps
APKVault lets you save any installed app as an APK or XAPK file directly on your device — without root access and without connecting to the internet. Whether you are switching phones, resetting your device, or simply want to keep a working copy of an app you use every day, APKVault gives you that control.
Extract APK and XAPK files in seconds
Modern Android apps are distributed as split APKs — a bundle of files tailored to your device. Standard extractors only grab the base APK, which often breaks when installed on a different phone. APKVault handles split APKs correctly, packaging them as a complete XAPK bundle that installs reliably on any compatible device.
- APK mode: single-file extraction, ideal for simple apps and quick sharing
- XAPK mode: full bundle with all split components, required for modern apps and games
- Smart mode: APKVault detects the app structure and picks the right format automatically
Organized backup history
Every extracted file is saved to your extraction history, including the format, size, and date. You can share, reinstall, or delete backups directly from within the app. Files are stored in your chosen folder — internal storage, SD card, or any custom location — and remain available even after the original app is uninstalled.
App analyzer and developer tools
APKVault includes a built-in technical analyzer that lets you inspect any installed app in depth:
- Permissions: see every permission the app requests, including which ones are classified as dangerous
- Trackers: identify third-party tracking SDKs embedded in the app
- Components: browse activities, services, broadcast receivers, and content providers
- Manifest: read the raw AndroidManifest.xml
- Signature: verify the certificate details, SHA-1, SHA-256, issuer, and validity dates
This information is useful for developers verifying their own builds, security-conscious users reviewing what an app actually does, and anyone curious about what is running on their device.
No root. No internet. No tracking.All operations run locally on your device. APKVault does not upload your apps, does not collect usage data, and does not require an internet connection. Your backups and your app data stay on your device.
Designed for modern Android
APKVault supports Android App Bundles and split APKs — the standard format for apps published since Android 5.0. The interface follows Material Design guidelines with full dark mode support, edge-to-edge layout, and fast search and filtering by app type, name, or package.
Common use cases:
- Back up apps before a factory reset or phone upgrade
- Transfer apps to a device without internet access
- Keep a working copy of an app version you trust
- Inspect app permissions and trackers before deciding to keep an app
- Share an app file with someone nearby without using mobile data
- Recover the APK of an app that was removed from the Play Store
