Vadhod APK Extractor

Offline, privacy-first APK extractor with proper split-APK support.
New in version 1.0.2
New: tap About in Settings for a compact dialog with the version, credits, licence and contact.

Fixes from the F-Droid review:
- The APK contents list was unreadable in dark theme.
- Split apps saved as "name.apks.apk" instead of "name.apks". The archive itself was always correct.
- Settings could not be scrolled, so the About card was unreachable.
- System bar icons ignored the in-app theme.
Vadhod APK Extractor is a beautiful, privacy-first tool to extract and back up the APK of any app installed on your device — completely offline.

Modern apps ship as "split APKs". Vadhod handles them properly: simple apps export as a clean single .apk, while split apps are bundled into one reinstallable .apks archive automatically. Your backups actually reinstall.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
* 100% offline — the app has NO internet permission at all.
* No tracking, no analytics, no ads, no accounts.
* Nothing ever leaves your device. Files are saved only to the folder you choose.

EXTRACT & BACK UP
* Browse every installed app, split into System and User tabs.
* Search and sort by name, size, install date or last update.
* Extract a single app, or select many and batch-extract at once.
* Save to any folder using Android's Storage Access Framework.

SPLIT-APK AWARE
* Export the base APK, or bundle base + splits into a reinstallable .apks archive.

INSPECT & SHARE
* See version, size, min/target SDK, install dates.
* View the signing certificate (SHA-256) and the APK's contents.
* Share an extracted APK, or export any app's icon as a PNG.

BEAUTIFUL
* A soft, calm pastel design with light and dark themes.

Vadhod APK Extractor is open source and built to respect you: minimal permissions, minimal footprint, zero data collection.

Note: The "Query all apps" (QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES) permission is used solely to list the apps installed on your device so you can extract them. This information stays on your device and is never collected or transmitted.

Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
