VulkanScope

(MIT Licensed FOSS app) VulkanScope is an advanced Vulkan® capability inspection and reporting tool for Android. It queries the Vulkan® implementation exposed by the active driver and presents detailed information about the GPU, Vulkan® core capabilities, extensions, features, properties, limits, memory, queues, formats, Surface/WSI support, Vulkan® Video, Android display/HDR capabilities, Vulkan® Profiles, and more.

This app supports Obtainium; the project/release URL can be used for update tracking.

VulkanScope reports what the active Vulkan® implementation actually exposes. It does not infer support from the Android version, GPU model, or Vulkan® API version alone.

Highlights

Vulkan® 1.0–1.4 core capability inspection against the active runtime

Native query and registry baseline pinned to Vulkan-Headers 1.4.366; 305 validated physical-device extension providers (two new registry-queryable providers remain pending native coverage)

Runtime instance/device extensions, exact specVersion, core and extension features/properties, limits, memory, queues and formats

Real Android VkSurfaceKHR / WSI and separate Android display/HDR evidence

Vulkan® Video exact-profile queries and bounded format evidence; Vulkan® Profiles evaluation

Local offline Encyclopedia for Vulkan reference symbols, registry dependencies and selected-device evidence, including an On this device filter

Separate Analysis workspace for comparisons, search, diagnostics, minimums, provenance, dependency graphs, history, watches, weighted capability/evidence score and optional Vulkan self-tests

Complete-report TXT, self-contained HTML and structured JSON exports together in Reports & Database; separate Analysis snapshot and custom-minimum-profile JSON formats

Explicit opt-in submission to the official VulkanScope Database; companion Database 4.0.6 accepts new reports only from 4.0.15 / 4015

System Vulkan® and managed arm64 Turnip driver selection with bounded, validated imports and explicit activation

Validated-network-gated GitHub update checks; optional Obtainium tracking

Material 3 Expressive dark interface, centered Settings/Surface destinations, adaptive two-column landscape result lists, compact evidence cards and bounded dialogs

Three-second, user-configurable app-header and bottom-navigation auto-hide; sticky pagers remain interactive with a 280 ms inline/pinned handoff and separately animated 320 ms frost

Up to six resource-aware, isolated Vulkan query lanes with report completeness and safety diagnostics

Android TV/DPAD, landscape, freeform and desktop-style adaptive navigation

Universal, arm64-v8a and x86_64 APK outputs; Android 12 / API 31 minimum
