WizeFiles is the most powerful Android file manager for local storage, removable drives, network shares, cloud accounts, archives, media, Android packages, synchronization, secure storage, and advanced file-management workflows.

WizeFiles 1.0.0 is free and open-source software licensed under GNU GPL-3.0-only. The complete WizeFiles source code is maintained in this repository, wizdom13/WizeFiles-Pro. Every implemented feature is available without advertisements, subscriptions, in-app purchases, paid tiers, license keys, or feature paywalls.

Important

WizeFiles-Pro is the repository name only. WizeFiles no longer has a separate paid “Pro” edition or a Free/Pro feature split. The application is simply WizeFiles, and this repository contains its open-source code.

Note

WizeFiles is designed to be a complete file-management workspace rather than only a local file browser. Some capabilities depend on Android version, granted permissions, storage-provider support, device hardware, or optional root/Shizuku access.

For eligible writable local files, WizeFiles can perform irreversible deletion:

• Zero-overwrite supported local files
• Sync written data
• Delete after overwrite
• Apply shredding to supported files inside selected local folders
• Hide the option for remote, SAF, archive, cloud, and other paths where secure overwrite cannot be guaranteed

Secure shred is irreversible. On flash storage, filesystem behavior, wear leveling, snapshots, and hardware-level remapping can still limit guarantees beyond the file-level overwrite performed by the app.

Installer capabilities include:

• Density split selection
• Locale split selection
• Base/feature split retention
• Package/version consistency checks
• Signer consistency checks
• Comparison with an already installed version
• Version-change presentation
• Permission comparison

• Explicit root-gated downgrade approval
• Separately confirmed signature-mismatch replacement for devices already using Core Patch or another compatible system modification
• XAPK OBB validation and placement
• OBB rollback/retry after partial completion

AAB installation is not supported. AAB files can be inspected/signed, but installation requires generating installable APK splits first.

Root and Shizuku

Root is optional and is not required for normal WizeFiles use.

Where explicitly enabled, advanced workflows can use:

• Root-capable file operations
• Shizuku-assisted access
• Permission/ownership operations where supported
• Advanced package-installation cases
• Version downgrade installation
• XAPK OBB placement when ordinary Android storage access is insufficient

WizeFiles does not disable Android package verification by itself. Signature-mismatch installation is only useful on devices where the user has already installed Core Patch or another compatible system modification.

Note

This comparison is intended as a user-facing feature guide, not a benchmark or ranking. “—” means a comparable capability is not documented in the project comparison; it does not necessarily mean the competing app can never perform a similar task through another workflow or add-on.
