About this app

DotFiles is a fast, private file manager and file explorer for Android. Browse, search, organize, clean, protect and inspect files directly on your device — with no ads, no accounts, no cloud sync and no internet connection required.

SMART OFFLINE SEARCH
Find files by name, folder, type, date, size, OCR text and document category. DotFiles Memory understands useful searches such as “large videos”, “receipts this month” or “recent screenshots” and shows how your search was interpreted.

FAST FILE BROWSING
Browse internal storage, SD card or selected folders with breadcrumb navigation, list or grid layouts, sorting, filters, Favorites, Recent files and quick categories for Images, Videos, Audio, Documents, Archives and APKs. Dual-pane browsing helps you work between two folders on larger screens.

CLEAN & ORGANIZE STORAGE
Use Storage Analyzer, Large Files, Duplicate Finder, Similar Photo Finder and Empty Folders to understand what is using space. Smart Cleanup lets you review before acting, while Auto-Organize can preview rules before moving files. Eligible deletions can go to local Trash first for recovery.

PRIVACY & SECURITY TOOLS
Secure Files protects private files with PIN and supported biometric unlock. Metadata Audit can find privacy-sensitive photo metadata, and Private Share can create clean copies with metadata removed. Exposed Documents and on-device OCR help identify and organize sensitive document photos without uploading them.

POWERFUL LOCAL TOOLS
Inspect APK permissions, signer information, tracker matches and risk details with APK Inspector. Create and extract ZIP files, extract common archive formats, and open images, videos, audio, PDFs and text files with built-in viewers or compatible external apps.

PRIVACY FIRST
DotFiles does not require internet access. There are no analytics, ads, accounts or cloud sync. File names, paths, OCR text, metadata and file activity stay on your device. Files leave your device only when you choose to open or share them with another app.

DotFiles — private file management, powerful offline tools and full control of your storage.
