Multi App Share is a utility Android application designed to streamline the process of sharing content across multiple applications. Instead of manually sharing a photo, video, link, or text to each social media platform or messaging app one by one, you can create custom groups and share to all of them in a sequential, guided workflow.
- Smart Auto-Grouping: Group your apps automatically by system categories (Games, Maps, Productivity) with name-based fallbacks for strict isolation (Messaging, Email, Contacts).
- Overlaid Translucent UX Control: Sharing from an external app feels native; a floating layout guides custom choices without locking down standard focus pipelines.
- Frosted Glass FX Visuals: Overlaid sheets now feature rich translucent background blurring values securely retaining standard layout visual focuses safely.
- Sequential Guided Workflow: Guides you step-by-step through dispatching intents iteratively to apps in a group seamlessly.
- Micro-Interaction Tactics: Smooth sequential advancing tracking accurate tactile vibrational haptic feedback increments satisfying tactile layouts speeds.
- Native Canvas Success Bursts: Expanding Canvas bursts layer with revealing checkmarks confirming flawless sequence triggers layout completions accurately.
- Optimized Async App Icon Speeds: Sub-second deterministic background placeholders loading speeds populated instantly avoiding blank flashing frame updates.
- Dynamic MIME Compatible Filters: Hides whole columns entirely from display templates if none of their inner apps support the currently dispatched payload standard.
- Frequency-Based Dashboard Sorting: Automatically prioritizes highly-frequented apps and groups at the top for faster access.
- Unified Multi-Format Support: Seamlessly accommodates mixed content types like Images, Videos, Links, and Text bundles.
- Precise Ranking Controls: Quickly adjust group application order using intuitive Up/Down icons avoiding press-drag conflicts.
- History Logs & Metrics Tracking: Records backgrounds outputs timestamped so share rates and node overflows remain traceable easily.
- Persistent expand-collapse saves layout defaults: Remembers drawer layouts so overlay sheet sizes don't overflow crowded screens.
- JSON Backup & Restore: Easily Export or Import your custom groups list to JSON to transfer setups between devices securely.
- Home Screen Shortcuts: Pin highly frequented group bundles directly to your launcher desktop using safe Compat shortcut integrations.

To enforce layout encapsulation and prevent leakage, candidate node sets consume internal modifier layouts:
| Module | Core Logic (Internal) | External API (Public) |
|---|---|---|
:app |
App triggers, Application class | Application |
:feature-dashboard |
VM Screen logic bundles | Composables screens |
:core-domain |
RepositoryImpls, RepositoryModule | UseCases & Repo Interfaces |
:core-database |
DatabaseModule |
Entity schemas, DAOs, AppDatabase |
:core-ui |
Themes & generic styles | Layout resource styles |
:app: Main Android Binary, Application triggers, and Hilt glue modules.:feature-dashboard: Encapsulates dashboard screens and Compose ViewModel setups.:core-domain: UseCases and Generic Repository interfaces.:core-database: Room persistence layers and Entity types.:core-ui: Centralized XML layout resources, Base themes, and icons.
This application is built with Privacy-by-Design and contains NO Analytics, NO Trackers, and NO Proprietary SDKs (e.g., GMS/Firebase).
- 100% Free and Open-Source under the MIT License.
- F-Droid Readiness: Fastlane metadata inclusive of reproducible building recipes included.
You can download the latest pre-built, optimized version of the app from the Releases page.
- Download the
MultiAppShare-v1.7.4-release.apk(approx. 3.2 MB). - Open the file to install.
- If prompted, allow "Install from unknown sources".
If you prefer to build that app yourself from scratch:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/edwardlthompson/MultiAppShare-.git
- Ensure you have JDK 21 toolchains and Android Studio Ladybug+ installed.
- Open the workspace; Gradle automatically synchronizes parameters mapping or version catalog.
- To test modular components: Run
./gradlew test.
A custom PowerShell script is provided to fetch GitHub Actions logs locally for easier debugging:
.\scripts\get-ci-logs.ps1Ensure you have a valid GITHUB_TOKEN in scripts/.env.local.
- Configure: Select "Autofill Groups" on onboarding to automatically generate isolated categorical folders triggers setup down downstream.
- Share: Inside simple exterior payloads (Photos, chrome, links), trigger default Android share dialogs and pick Multi App Share sheets.
- Automate: Pick the target group; The first app in the custom list will open. On finish, return via Recent Apps to see the workflow iterate securely!
💡 Pro-Tip: The Translucent Overlaid UX controller lets you guide choices natively without locking standard focus pipelines layout completely!
