Shelter is a Free and Open-Source (FOSS) app that leverages the “Work Profile” feature of Android to provide an isolated space that you can install or clone apps into. Shelter comes with absolutely no advertisement / statistics / tracking SDKs bundled with it. All source code is available in at https://git.angry.im/PeterCxy/Shelter or mirror https://github.com/PeterCxy/Shelter and the sources are licensed under WTFPL. This app depends on your Android system’s implementation of Work Profile. Some vendor / custom ROMs may have a broken implementation that may cause crashes and even bricking of your device. One such example is MIUI from Xiaomi. I currently provide no support for such ROMs because I personally do not own any of these devices. If you are running Shelter on these ROMs, you are on your own. If any developer out there own these devices and could make Shelter run on these ROMs, please send pull requests and I’ll be happy to merge them. Features / Use Cases === - Run apps inside the isolated profile so they cannot access your data outside the profile - “Freeze” (disable) background-heavy or seldom-used apps when you don’t need them. This is especially true if you use apps from "some company". - Clone apps to use two accounts on one device Caveats === Shelter is not a full sandbox implementation. It cannot protect you from: - Security bugs of the Android system or Linux kernel - Backdoors installed in your Android system (so please use an open-source ROM if you are concerned about this) - Backdoors installed into the firmwares (no way to work around this) - Any other bugs or limitations imposed by the Android system. Also, Shelter cannot create more than 1 work profile on one Android device, and cannot co-exist with any other apps that manages a Work Profile. This is due to the limitations of the Android system, and I can do nothing about this. FAQS === Q: Why not use Island by OasisFeng, the creator of Greenify? A: Simply because it is not an FOSS app and it bundles with non-free SDKs. Note that this doesn’t necessarily mean that Island has anti-features like tracking (and I don’t think it has either), it’s just that I wrote Shelter as an FOSS replacement of it. There is no other reason why one would prefer Shelter over Island except for this one. Q: Why does Shelter always run in background? A: Please try removing Shelter from “Recent Apps” every time you close it. If it still persists in your notifications and eating up battery, you might have encountered a bug. Please file a bug report. Q: How do I uninstall Shelter from my device? A: 1) Go to Settings -> Accounts to remove the work profile; 2) Go to Settings -> Security -> Advanced -> Device admin apps to remove Shelter from Device Admin apps; 3) Uninstall Shelter normally. Q: If I encounter bugs, how do I report them? A: You could file an issue on either the main repository at https://git.angry.im/PeterCxy/Shelter or the mirror repository at https://github.com/PeterCxy/Shelter. Please include your system information as well as a logcat if possible.

I am running second WhatsApp in Shelter for a few days and it works great. Notifications arrive properly, battery usage is ok, cpu usage too. No ads. Shelter has a big advantage imho - a feature i didn't find in paid apps for dual messaging- it allows me to sync the second (work) WhatsApp with different contacts so I finally I don't have personal contacts in work WhatsApp. This app has a great potential. If it had kind of setup wizard would be great. I am fine with the current state.

I just love this app. It will use Android's built-in work profile, that can separate work apps and personal apps. I use it for that purpose! Because the school account is having an inactivity delay (if inactive for 2 hours I get disconnected) and my school password is long, the "Account action required" popup that's preventing me from using Google services, even with my personal account. And I found this app. It solved my problem. Really, thanks.

Works perfectly! I am able to use two WhatsApp accounts in one phone without any problems. Moreover, this app is open source and ad-free. How can it get any better?

This app is excellent. For the people experiencing the "Please wait while Shelter prepares your Work Profile" issue, it's not the app, it's your phone not giving permissions. Uninstall, reinstall, and when you get to the little progress spinney thing in Shelter saying its setting up Shelter, have a look at your notifications bar, there will be a notification about work profile, OK that and instantly you will be set up.

its ok for the first few months but now i cant attach pictures to my fb account even though my drive and files are installed to my shelter/clone account.

I've had a Google-based work account on my phone for years and I'm flabbergasted that this separate Work profile behavior is not used nor offered when I add that account to my personal phone. Props to the devs and making this easy to set up! Priceless to be able to separate and toggle it on/off whenever.

Shelter is awesome (not flawless but awesome) I have tried a few other apps of this nature and could not always get them to behave 100% of the time. Shelter so far has been flawless. The UI is pretty minimal but does make it easy to understand what is going on. The Dev(s) have added features and fixed bugs since I started using it and I'm hopeful will continue to as well.

Sheltered Outlook cannot open any office attachments. It thinks no app is installed, even though I do have sheltered word and excel installed.

I shouldn't have installed this app because I didn't fully understand how it works. I encountered all kinds of issues, esp apps not running. Once I removed the workspace it installed, my phone was back.
