Shelter is a free and open-source Android app that uses the Work Profile feature to create an isolated space for installing or cloning apps. It supports freezing apps and running two copies of the same app on one device, and is in maintenance mode while remaining actively adapted to new Android versions.
Use cases
- isolate privacy-invasive apps from my main profile
- install two copies of the same app on one phone
- freeze apps so they don't run in the background
- run work apps in a separate sandbox on my personal device
- clone apps into an isolated work profile
- keep tracking-heavy apps sandboxed on Android
When to choose
- you want a FOSS, F-Droid-distributed app isolator without adb privileges
- you need to clone apps or freeze them using only official Work Profile APIs
- you want a maintained tool that tracks new Android versions
When to avoid
- you need deep isolation beyond what Work Profile APIs allow (e.g., via adb or root)
- your device or custom ROM has poor Work Profile support
- you expect frequent new features - the project is in maintenance mode
