Hawk is a secure, simple key-value storage library for Android that encrypts data before persisting it. It supports storing any object type with pluggable encryption, converter, parser, and storage layers.

Use cases

  • store encrypted user preferences in an android app
  • persist objects securely instead of plain SharedPreferences
  • save lists, maps, or custom objects to local storage on android
  • cache session tokens securely on device
  • replace SharedPreferences with an encrypted key-value store

When to choose

  • you need simple encrypted key-value persistence on Android
  • you want to store arbitrary Java objects without writing serialization code
  • you need pluggable storage or encryption layers

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained library with recent updates and active support
  • you target modern Android with Jetpack DataStore or EncryptedSharedPreferences available
  • you need multi-process or reactive storage access
