Island is an Android app that leverages the Android device-owner/profile-owner (DPC) APIs to create isolated 'islands' for cloning or freezing apps and separating personal and work data. It also exposes an open API so third-party apps can build on its DPC engine capabilities.

Use cases

  • clone apps into an isolated Android work profile
  • freeze unused apps without uninstalling them
  • separate personal and work apps and data on one device
  • hide apps from the launcher
  • build third-party apps that use device-owner capabilities via Island's open API

When to choose

  • you want app isolation or app cloning on a single Android device without root
  • you need to freeze or hide apps selectively
  • you are a developer wanting to leverage DPC features through an open API instead of writing your own device-owner app

When to avoid

  • your device cannot or should not be set up as a device owner (e.g., already provisioned with another DPC)
  • you need a full-featured enterprise MDM solution rather than a personal isolation tool
  • you target non-Android platforms
