App Manager

A place to manage installed apps

App Manager brings an Android device’s apps into one list, including items that may not have a normal launcher icon, such as widgets, keyboards, launchers and plugins. It suits people who regularly try new apps, want a clearer view of what is installed, or need to remove or manage apps without hunting through separate settings screens.

Useful controls, in one place

Select an app to open or manage it, share it as a link or APK file, view its store listing, or use Android’s uninstall flow. You can sort and filter the list by details such as name, size, install date, enabled state, or whether an app is a system or user app. The app also keeps a history of removed apps and can handle APK, APKS, APKM and XAPK files passed to it by other apps.

Root changes what is possible

Many everyday tasks use Android’s standard app-management controls. Some deeper actions need root access, including batch changes, disabling apps, clearing app data, and uninstalling system apps. Removing system software can cause problems and may not work on every device, so those controls call for care. App Manager is most useful when its permissions and access match the job you have in mind; it is not a way around Android’s limits on an unrooted device.

A practical, established utility

App Manager is published by AndroidDeveloperLB in the Tools category. Its 1,000,000+ installs suggest it has found a substantial audience, while its rating of 3.67 from 11,292 reviews offers a more mixed measure of user experience. The emphasis is on getting a specific bit of app housekeeping done, then leaving the phone alone.
