What Sharedr Does
Sharedr is an Android utility that replaces the system share sheet with a leaner, quicker alternative. It streamlines sharing by removing some of the delays and visual glitches associated with Android’s Direct Share, making it feel snappier and more reliable for frequent use.
Core capabilities
- Customize how share targets appear by long-pressing to pin, hide, rename, or unpin entries.
- Swap between compact list and denser grid presentations to match your workflow.
- Replace the native share dialog so sharing actions launch faster and with fewer layout jumps.
- Pick from multiple display modes—light, dark, or pure black—to better match your device theme.
Personalization and layout
Sharedr puts several display and organizational options at your fingertips. You can pin frequently used contacts or apps, remove seldom-used items from view, and rename shortcuts so they’re easier to identify. The app supports both list and grid arrangements and offers three theme choices to reduce glare or save battery on OLED screens.
How to use it
Long-press any item in the share interface to reveal actions such as pinning, hiding, renaming, or removing that target. Switch between list and grid views in the settings, and choose a preferred theme to customize the look. The interface is intentionally minimal so most interactions take just a tap or a press-and-hold.
Compatibility caveat
Sharedr will not function on Android 12 and later releases due to platform changes that prevent apps from intercepting share events the way Sharedr requires. If you’re on Android 11 or older, you can continue using Sharedr normally until you upgrade your OS.
Summary
If you want a faster, more controllable share sheet on older Android releases, Sharedr offers a straightforward, speedy solution with ample customization. Just be aware of its limitation with Android 12 and plan accordingly.
