This user-friendly app allows you to automatically create and view a backup list of all your installed apps with just a few taps.

Key Features:

The HTML export includes powerful sorting and filtering capabilities. * Control the maximum number of stored backups. * Seamlessly integrate with Tasker, Automate, MacroDroid, and any other apps that support Tasker Plugin, allowing you to trigger backups from your automations. * Trigger backups via Intent Broadcasts, enabling automation with tools like Tasker, ADB, and MacroDroid for even more flexibility. * No account, no network access and no root. The app needs permission to see your installed apps and to write to the folder you choose; notifications are optional. * Also includes an easy to click widget, notification bar progress updates, and more.

With AppListBackup, you can have peace of mind knowing an up to date list of your favorite apps is safely backed up. Download and install now to ensure your list of apps is always ready for restoration.

IMPORTANT: This app does not back up your actual application APKs or data, it only generates a list of installed applications and allows you to choose where to save it for future reference. Additionally it is the user's responsibility to save/backup the generated files to a safe location in the event their phone is broken or lost, such as, but not limited to, email, remote storage, or a local folder which is synced elsewhere.

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.

Data safety

  • Every file is checked against its published SHA-256 before it is listed.
  • Files are scanned for malware on every update.
  • The permissions each app requests are listed on its own page.
  • Read the full safety policy for how we test, flag, and delist files.
