EnglishWhat Is SD Maid 1?
Updated
SD Maid 1 is an Android app for managing files and apps. According to its official page, it is now in maintenance mode: it "will keep working as it is, but won't get new features or improvements," with updates "limited to security fixes." If you are choosing an app today, the same page points to a successor, SD Maid 2/SE, and notes that SD Maid 1 issue tickets are being reviewed and migrated where applicable. So SD Maid 1 is best understood as the legacy version of a file-and-app management tool, not the actively developed one.
What SD Maid 1 does
The site's own description is deliberately short: "SD Maid is an Android app that helps you manage files and apps." That covers two broad areas:
- File management — handling files stored on the device.
- App management — handling installed applications.
The page does not enumerate specific tools or features, so the exact set of functions is not something the source confirms. What it does confirm is the general purpose: managing files and apps on Android.
SD Maid 1 vs. SD Maid 2/SE
The key decision on this page is which version to use. The site frames it as a succession, not a fork.
| SD Maid 1 / Legacy | SD Maid 2/SE | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Kept working as-is | Successor |
| New features | None | — |
| Improvements | None | — |
| Updates | Security fixes only | — |
| Issue tracker | Being reviewed and migrated where applicable | Separate tracker (linked from the page) |
The page also links to SD Maid 2/SE's FAQ, which is the place to look for details about the newer version.
Download options listed on the page
The page separates downloads into Production and Beta, and lists both a main app and a Pro Version Unlocker.
Production
- SD Maid — Google Play
- SD Maid — GitHub
- Pro Version Unlocker — Google Play
Beta
- SD Maid — Google Play
- SD Maid — GitHub
- Pro Version Unlocker — Google Play
The page does not state prices or licensing terms for any of these, so nothing here should be read as free or paid. Check the store or repository listing for current terms.
Where to get help and report problems
- Help — the page says help "can be found here," linking to a help resource.
- Changelog — a changelog is linked for tracking changes.
- Bug reports / feature requests — the preferred route is the issue tracker. Note that for SD Maid 1, tickets are being reviewed and migrated where applicable, and SD Maid 2/SE has its own tracker.
Who should use SD Maid 1
Use SD Maid 1 if you already rely on it and just need it to keep working — the page explicitly says it will continue to function as it is. Choose SD Maid 2/SE instead if you want the version that is still being developed, since SD Maid 1 no longer receives new features or improvements. If you are filing a bug or requesting a feature, check which version's tracker applies before submitting, because the two are handled separately.
