File Manager for AR Glasses
Android XR glasses run a full Android OS in a lightweight, head-worn form factor. AnExplorer gives you file management on your glasses: sideload apps, manage local storage, transfer files from your phone, and browse cloud storage — all through a floating panel visible in your field of view.
AnExplorer works on all Android-based AR/XR glasses including XREAL Air, Rokid Max, RayNeo Air 2, and Vuzix Z100.

Transfer Files from Phone to Glasses
The primary file workflow: send APKs, media, or content from your Android phone to your glasses wirelessly.
- Open AnExplorer on your Android phone and tap WiFi Share
- Select files to transfer
- On the glasses (or paired compute unit), open AnExplorer → Network → WiFi Receive
- Accept the transfer — files land in local storage automatically

Sideload Apps on AR Glasses
Many third-party and enterprise apps are not available in the glasses' default store. AnExplorer's APK Installer makes sideloading simple:
- Transfer the APK to glasses storage via WiFi or USB-C
- Open AnExplorer and navigate to the APK file
- Tap to install — handled by the APK Installer
Enable Unknown Sources first: Settings → Security → Install Unknown Apps.
Interface on Glasses
AnExplorer adapts its UI for the constrained display resolution of AR glasses:
- Compact layout: single-pane file browser, no split-pane
- Large text: readable at sub-20° field of view
- Remote/gamepad support: navigable without touch if a Bluetooth remote is paired
- Minimal dialogs: confirmation prompts are single-tap
On glasses with 3DoF/6DoF controllers (like Rokid), AnExplorer supports pointer navigation.
