OpenLoader

Install APKs on the Android devices you own

OpenLoader installs APK files you provide, outside the store flow. It is built with Android developers in mind: queue installs, push builds to several devices over wireless ADB, and use Shizuku for privileged installs when you grant it access. Open source under GPL-3.0.

OpenLoader is discontinued and is no longer available on Google Play or as a download. Existing installs keep working. The source is archived on GitHub. The reasoning is in our post.

What it does

  • Install queue

    Pick several APK files and install them in one go.

  • Several devices at once

    Push the same build to multiple phones or tablets without repeating every step.

  • Wireless ADB

    Connect and deploy over your network on Android 11 and newer.

  • Pairing helpers

    Guided flows and checks for wireless debugging and pairing, where supported.

  • Optional Shizuku

    Use a privileged install path when you grant Shizuku access.

  • Stays on your device

    No analytics and no cloud account. History and preferences stay on the device.
