Provides a detailed summary of all installed packages
About this app
With the introduction of the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission, as far as I understand, it became impossible to use built-in tools to list and inspect installed packages. (Please let me know if you are aware of another workaround.)
That is, of course, assuming you don't have access to root privileges. However, you might not desire to root your phone, either because it can turn out to be quite difficult to achieve, or because it has numerous disadvantages in itself, anyway.
Another option is to connect to the phone via Android Debug Bridge (ADB) and run:
adb shell dumpsys | sed -n '/^Packages:/,/^[[:space:]]*$/p' The command prints the "Packages" section from dumpsys, which contains detailed information about every installed package. It works, but the downside is obvious: You need an extra device to connect and run adb.
This app strives to reproduce the output from above command, right on your phone - neither root privileges nor ADB required - using only API calls and the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission.

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.rubenpgrady.dpcopycat 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, 2.0 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Dumpsys Packages Copycat 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 Dumpsys Packages Copycat, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
