About this app
App Clone
Use the same Android app with separate accounts and data. App Clone manages Android's native clone profiles and raises their limits through an Xposed module. It doesn't modify the original APKs.
Requirements
Android 13+ with native AOSP clone-profile support Root access LSPosed or a compatible framework supporting legacy Xposed API 82 The clone engine has been tested on Pixel / Android 17. Other Android versions and firmware remain unverified; not every app supports cloning.
Get started
Download the APK and install it in your main profile (user 0). Enable the module for System Framework (android) and reboot. Open App Clone, grant root, and tap Add clone app. Pick an app, then choose an existing profile or create a new one. Tap Open beside the clone, or pin a home-screen shortcut from its ⋮ menu. Several apps can share a profile. Another instance of the same app needs a different profile.
Manage your clones
Apps: see every clone beneath its app. Use the instance's ⋮ menu to disable, enable, force-stop, restrict background activity or remove it. Profiles: start, stop, rename or delete a profile and manage its apps. Settings: customize shortcut labels, choose a language and set what happens after reboot. Reboot actions wait for main-user unlock and require root; they don't prevent initial profile startup. System apps are hidden by default; reveal them with Show system apps. Use Refresh after making changes outside App Clone.
Before changing or deleting data Stopping a profile pauses all its apps and notifications but keeps data. Opening a clone starts that profile again. Disabling an app keeps its data but stops it and its notifications until you enable it. Force stop is temporary, not a permanent freeze. Background restrictions can delay notifications. Use Restore previous before clearing App Clone's data or uninstalling it; otherwise Android's restriction can remain without a restore record. Deleting a profile erases all its app data, including hidden system apps. Removing an app deletes only its data in the selected profile. Main-user, work and private profiles aren't managed here. Back up important data first. Changing system apps can break other apps in that profile. Root and framework changes can also affect boot; keep a recovery method available.

What's new
- Bundles English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Hindi, Bengali, Russian, Japanese and Turkish. Choose Settings → App language to switch. Translations are AI-authored; fluent-speaker review is still welcome. Native Android plurals, language fallback and right-to-left layout support. Redesigned Material 3 lists show every profile directly beneath its app, with Open and a per-instance ⋮ menu instead of Manage. Swipeable Apps / Profiles tabs keep independent search and scroll positions, including after rotation. Long lists recycle rows; search/status scroll with content. Rename profile saves the exact name without changing IDs, app data or running state. It affects all apps sharing that profile; existing shortcut labels stay unchanged. Root-shell startup retries the canonical Android su path only when PATH lookup cannot find the executable; started/denied/timed-out operations are never replayed. Diagnostics now include app UID/PATH and a root identity check. Raises AOSP clone-profile limits so many clone users can run at once. App-first Apps / Profiles navigation: only cloned apps, with counts and profile locations; disabled apps and stopped profiles stay visible. Navigation reuses inventory instead of rescanning. Refresh picks up external changes, keeps visible rows/scroll and combines repeated requests; errors offer Retry. Material You / Material 3 Expressive 1.14.0, dynamic colours and dark mode. Explicit existing/new profile choices when adding clones; no automatic allocation. Per-clone Disable/Enable, manifest default, Force stop, shortcuts and removal. Disabling pauses that app's notifications; removal deletes its profile-local data. Background activity previews a clone package's Android background mode: Keep current, Restrict, or Restore previous. Restrictions can delay notifications/jobs; they do not stop profiles or disable apps. Prior modes are saved before mutation. Open/shortcuts combine fresh identity/package/readiness checks and launch in one bounded root process; already-unlocked profiles skip startup/authentication. System apps are hidden initially; the visible menu filter can include them. Starts or stops individual profiles without deleting their app data. Home-screen shortcuts and Open start stopped profiles and request Android's cached shared-credential unlock before launching. If authentication is needed, the error explains how to unlock with the main user's PIN/pattern/password. Choose System default, Start all profiles, or Stop all profiles once after reboot and main-user unlock; stopping pauses notifications. Pin shortcuts from the selected instance; new shortcuts bind the profile serial. Export diagnostics includes the failed creation command, users and filtered logcat. Labels shortcuts such as 12: Chrome. Keeps app data separate per clone user. Requirements: Android 13+ and an Xposed framework that supports the legacy Xposed API 82 (LSPosed or Vector). Scope the module to system (android). Device-tested on Pixel 11 Pro Fold, Android 17; Android 13–16 use the same AOSP clone type but are not yet tested. The UI/app controls pass host checks; 2.3 localization/RTL, 2.2 UI/rename and 2.1 launch/background-policy device acceptance, battery effects and notification delivery are unmeasured. No automatic cleaning or Google-service changes. Restore background settings before clearing App Clone's data.
