What is Mitobi?

Mitobi is a tool for backing up and restoring internal data from an Android app without the need for root access or a PC.

By modifying the APK, Mitobi works by copying the internal data to the external data of that app (or the Mitobi folder in internal storage if the app has storage permission).

How it works?

After Mitobi is added to an APK, a popup will appear when the app is opened, displaying some information and several action buttons such as Backup, Restore, and Close.

Pressing the Backup button will trigger another popup displaying what internal data will be backed up and two action buttons: Backup and Backup (With Cache).

  • Backup will back up all internal data except for the cache.
  • Backup (With Cache) will back up all internal data, including the cache.

Once the backup is successful, the internal data will be stored in the app's external data (Android/data/<package>/files/Mitobi/).

Pressing the Restore button will trigger another popup displaying what data will be restored and a Restore button. The data to be restored consists of files located within the Mitobi folder in the app's external data (Android/data/<package>/files/Mitobi/).

Once the data is successfully restored, the app will close immediately, and you'll need to reopen the app to see the results.

Notes

  • Not all apps work with Mitobi.
  • You need to modify the app to use Mitobi. This means you cannot update the app directly on the Play Store.
