An app for cloning and isolating apps on Android
If you want to clone apps on Android or need an app to isolate apps, you have to install Shelter APK, an app for creating a work profile on Android that functions as a sandbox within the Android system, providing an isolated environment where you can duplicate apps and run them separately from the rest of the system.
How does Shelter work?
Shelter takes advantage of Android's native work profile feature, which creates an isolated space within your device. In other words, Shelter Android sets up an independent environment where you can install or run apps, allowing you to install the same app twice on a single device without them interfering with each other.
As well as duplication, Shelter also allows you to:
- Install APKs in the work profile, keeping your main profile clean and free from data mixing.
- Easily freeze apps to prevent them from running or consuming resources.
- Manage permissions and notifications for each profile, giving you greater control over your apps.
- Stop the work profile apps so you can disconnect without interruptions whenever you need to.
- Create a shortcut to stop the work profile apps with a single tap.
Shelter simplifies the creation and use of work profiles on Android.
Is it safe to use Shelter?
Yes, Shelter is safe to use. As one of the best FOSS apps on Android, its open-source code allows the community to review and ensure its integrity and transparency. Additionally, it only uses native Android features, like the work profile: in other words, it doesn't require root access, which minimizes risks and protects your privacy.
In summary, Shelter is a practical and reliable solution for duplicating and isolating apps within a sandbox on Android, offering privacy and control without complications. If you want to optimize your app usage, don't hesitate to download Shelter for free and give your device better organization and security.
