Yes. Andora is free for APK installation, screen mirroring (up to 1080p and 30 FPS), screenshots, wireless ADB, file and media browsing, app management, device info, remote control, and process and performance monitoring. A one-time Pro purchase adds high-quality mirroring (60/120 FPS, up to 32 Mbps, 1440p/original), screen recording, Instant Replay, the Logcat viewer, ADB Shell, Game Benchmark, and unlimited devices.

What APK formats does Andora support?

Andora installs standard .apk files plus split-APK bundles: .xapk (APKPure), .apks (SAI), and .apkm (APKMirror). You can drag and drop them and batch-install to several devices at once.

Can I mirror my Android screen to a Windows PC with Andora?

Yes. Andora mirrors and controls your Android screen on Windows in real time with low latency, over USB or Wi-Fi. Basic mirroring up to 1080p/30 FPS is free; Pro unlocks 60/120 FPS, up to 32 Mbps, 1440p/original resolution, and a low-latency Game Mode.

How do I connect Android to Andora wirelessly?

Connect once over USB and click the Wi-Fi icon to switch to Wi-Fi (Android 6+), or use Wireless Debugging pairing codes on Android 11+. Wireless ADB is free in Andora. The PC and phone must be on the same network; 5 GHz Wi-Fi gives the best performance.

Does Andora need root to debloat apps?

No. Andora removes system apps for the current user with pm uninstall --user 0, which needs no root and never touches the system partition. The APK stays on the device so you can restore it later or by factory reset.

What languages does Andora support?

Andora's interface is available in 10 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese.

Documentation

v1.4.0 Windows 10 / 11 Android 6+ 10 languages

Installation

Andora runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit). No extra drivers or setup — ADB is bundled and ready to use.

Download the installer (Andora Setup.exe) or portable version (Andora-Portable.rar) from the download page.

Run Andora Setup.exe and follow the installer. A Start Menu shortcut is created automatically.

Launch Andora from the Start Menu or desktop shortcut.

Portable version: extract the RAR and run Andora.exe directly — no installation needed. Settings are stored alongside the executable.

Windows Defender alert? This is a false positive. Andora bundles open-source tools (ADB, scrcpy, ffmpeg) that are unsigned third-party binaries — Windows may flag them. To resolve: Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Manage settings → Exclusions and add %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Andora.

System requirements

OS: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)

Install apps on your Android device without the Play Store. Supports standard and split APK formats.

Supported formats

.apk — Standard Android app
.xapk — Split APK bundle (APKPure)
.apks — Split APK set (SAI)
.apkm — APK Mirror bundle

Installing

Add files: drag and drop APK files onto the Andora window, or click the folder icon to browse.

Select devices: click one or more devices. Use Ctrl+Click for multi-select.

Wireless ADB FREE

Connect over Wi-Fi — no USB cable needed after initial setup. Requires Android 6+ for basic mode; Android 11+ for wireless pairing without a cable.

Method 1 — Switch USB to Wi-Fi (Android 6+)

Connect your device via USB and wait for it to appear.

Click the Wi-Fi icon (or Ctrl+W).

On the Connected tab, click Switch to Wi-Fi.

Disconnect the USB cable. The device stays connected wirelessly.

Method 2 — Wireless Debugging (Android 11+)

On device: Developer Options → Wireless Debugging, enable, then tap Pair device with pairing code.

In Andora's Wi-Fi dialog → Manual tab, enter IP, port, and 6-digit code.

After pairing, connect using the connection port shown on the device.

Device and PC must be on the same Wi-Fi network. 5 GHz gives significantly better mirroring performance than 2.4 GHz.

Screen mirroring FREE

View and control your Android screen on your PC in real time with very low latency. Interact with the device using your mouse and keyboard. Mirroring is free up to 1080p, 30 FPS, and 8 Mbps. PRO unlocks high-quality mirroring — 60 / 120 FPS, up to 32 Mbps, and 1440p / original resolution — plus Game Mode for the lowest possible latency during gameplay.

Starting

Select a device, click Mirror in the toolbar or press Ctrl+Shift+M.

Video settings

Setting	Options	Notes
Codec	H.264, H.265	H.265 uses less bandwidth
Max FPS	30, 60, 120	60 / 120 FPS require Pro; higher needs USB 3.0
Bitrate	4–32 Mbps	16 / 32 Mbps require Pro; higher = sharper
Resolution	Original / 1440p / 1080p / 720p / 480p	1440p / original require Pro; lower reduces Wi-Fi latency
Audio	On / off	Requires Android 11+

Screen recording PRO

Record your device screen to MP4 with optional audio. Press Ctrl+R in the mirror window to start, again to stop. Files save to your Videos/Andora folder by default.

Screenshots FREE

Capture device screenshots without unlocking the phone. Press Ctrl+P from the device list, or click the camera icon. PNG files save to Pictures/Andora.

Media browser FREE

Scan, preview, and pull every photo and video off your device without mounting it as MTP. Andora indexes your device's media folders and shows thumbnails for images and inline playback for videos.

Filter by all media, images only, or videos only
Preview full-resolution photos and play videos directly in the app
Multi-select to save many files to your PC at once, or delete them from the device

Instant Replay PRO

A rolling 60-second buffer of your device screen. When something interesting happens — a crash, a UI glitch — hit Save Replay and the previous 60 seconds are saved as MP4. Perfect for bug reports.

The buffer is in-memory only — nothing hits disk until you save. CPU/disk overhead is minimal.

Game Benchmark PRO BETA

A built-in performance profiler that tracks seven key metrics in real time while your Android game or app runs. Perfect for identifying frame drops, thermal throttling, memory leaks, and network spikes.

Tracked metrics

Metric	Source	Notes
FPS	SurfaceFlinger / gfxinfo framestats	Frame-accurate, supports VRR displays
CPU	/proc/stat + per-app jiffies	Total and per-app usage
GPU	Adreno kgsl / Mali sysfs	Percentage utilization
Memory	Per-app PSS via companion or dumpsys	GB, auto-scales to MB for small apps
Thermal	CPU temp zones / battery temp	°C with throttle threshold line
Battery	Battery level + current	Percentage, useful for drain analysis
Network	netstats / companion	Combined RX+TX in KB/s or MB/s

Starting a benchmark

Open the Benchmark tab from the sidebar.

Select a connected device and pick a running app from the dropdown.

Click Start. Live charts appear immediately. Toggle individual metrics by tapping their cards.

Click Stop when done. The session is saved automatically to your session history.

Session history & export

Every recording is saved with device metadata (chipset, GPU, RAM, OS version, screen resolution). From the session list you can:

Export HTML report — a self-contained file with interactive charts
Export JSON / CSV — raw data for custom analysis
Compare A vs B — overlay two sessions on the same chart to spot regressions
Rename / delete sessions

Cloud sync

When signed in with Google, benchmark sessions sync to the cloud automatically. Sessions are available across all your PCs — record on one machine, review on another.

Beta notice: Game Benchmark is currently in beta. Some metrics may not be available on all chipsets or Android versions. We're actively expanding device coverage and adding new features based on user feedback.

Device info FREE

Read full device details: model, OS version, security patch, IMEI, serial, battery health, storage, RAM, CPU. Click any field to copy.

App management FREE

List every installed app — system + user. Filter by name or package, sort by size or install date. Free to use; requires a signed-in account.

Per-app actions

Open, force-stop, clear data, and uninstall
Extract APK — pull the installed APK back to your PC
Disable / enable — hide and stop an app without removing it, then re-enable anytime
Debloat — remove a system app for the current user without root. The APK stays on the system, so you can restore it later
Bulk uninstall — remove an app from every connected device at once

Disabled and debloated apps stay in the list with clear badges so you always know what you changed.

Debloating uses pm uninstall --user 0 — it never modifies the system partition and needs no root. A factory reset (or restoring the app) brings it back.

File browser FREE

Browse your device's storage like Windows Explorer. Drag files to/from your PC. Multi-select for bulk transfers. No need to mount the device as MTP.

Control & intents FREE

Drive your device from your PC without mirroring. The Control tab has three tools: a remote, developer quick-toggles, and an intent launcher.

Remote control

Navigation: D-pad (up / down / left / right / OK), Back, Home, and Recents
System keys: Power, Wake, notification shade, volume up / down / mute, and media previous / play-pause / next
Type to device: type text on your PC keyboard and send it straight to the focused field on the phone

Developer quick-toggles

One-tap switches for settings that normally live deep in Developer Options:

Animation scale, font size, and display density
Show taps and pointer location
Stay awake while charging, dark theme, and demo mode (clean status bar for screenshots)

Intent launcher

Fire any Android intent to open a URL, deep link, or specific app screen on the device. Set the action (e.g. android.intent.action.VIEW), data URI, target package, or component, then launch — ideal for testing deep links and app entry points.

Process monitor FREE

A live list of every running process on the device, refreshed in real time. Sort by memory (RSS), CPU, PID, or name, and filter by keyword or by a single app's package. Select a process to kill it. Useful for spotting runaway background apps and memory hogs.

Performance monitor FREE

A live, always-available overview of device health — FPS, CPU, GPU, memory, and temperature — streamed straight from the device. Unlike Game Benchmark (which records full sessions for a specific app), the Performance monitor is a quick, free real-time gauge you can leave open while you work.

Logcat viewer PRO

Real-time log streaming with filters. Filter by tag (regex), severity (V/D/I/W/E/F), or keyword. Pause, save, or copy a window to clipboard.

Export logs as .logcat files in Android Studio's JSON format, and import previously saved .logcat files (both Android Studio JSON and plain threadtime text) back into the viewer for offline analysis.

ADB shell PRO

Drop into a full adb shell with command history, tab completion, and per-device tabs. Output is highlighted and copy-pasteable.

Keyboard shortcuts

Action	Shortcut
Settings	`Ctrl+,`
Wi-Fi connection dialog	`Ctrl+W`
Screen mirror	`Ctrl+Shift+M`
Screenshot	`Ctrl+P`
Start / stop recording	`Ctrl+R`
Refresh devices	`F5`
Multi-select device	`Ctrl+Click`

Troubleshooting

Device not detected

Check USB debugging is enabled in Developer Options
Try a different USB cable — many cables are charge-only
Install OEM USB drivers from your manufacturer
On the phone, set USB mode to File transfer (MTP)

Mirroring is laggy

Use USB instead of Wi-Fi for the lowest latency
Lower the resolution to 720p or 1080p
Switch to H.265 codec to reduce bandwidth
On Wi-Fi, prefer 5 GHz networks over 2.4 GHz
