Restic Backup Android App (Unofficial)
About this app
A mobile Android application that enables efficient and straightforward data backups powered by Restic backup software.
The application uses a custom-built PRoot environment (based on the build-proot-android project) to run native Restic and Rclone Linux binaries directly on Android devices.
Disclaimer: This is an unofficial application and is not developed or endorsed by the official Restic project team.
Key Capabilities:
• Repository Management: Create and configure Restic repositories (supports S3, B2, Rest, Local, and Rclone protocols) • Snapshot Control: Browse and manage your backup snapshots • Folder Selection: Choose which directories to include in backups • Automated Scheduling: Set up recurring backup tasks • Retention Policies: Define cleanup rules for individual folders • Live Progress: Monitor backup operations through system notifications • Rclone Integration: Access 40+ cloud storage providers via Rclone backend

Installation Guide
Open Settings on your Android device
Go to Security → Unknown sources (or Install unknown apps)
Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser or file manager
Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be org.dydlakcloud.resticopia is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 0.8.6 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Resticopia first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Resticopia, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
Get Resticopia
Every source we list for org.dydlakcloud.resticopia is legality-reviewed. Pirated or cracked builds are never offered.

Permissions Required
What each permission lets Resticopia do. A highlighted one is worth a second look — not necessarily wrong, just worth asking whether this app needs it.
Previous Versions
The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
