File Manager for XREAL AR Glasses

File Manager for XREAL AR Glasses

XREAL glasses are a display only — they need a compute source: an Android phone, the XREAL Beam Pro, or a compatible laptop. AnExplorer runs on the companion Android device (Beam Pro or tethered phone) and lets you manage files that display on XREAL's virtual screen.

For XREAL Air 2 Ultra (with onboard Android XR chip), AnExplorer installs directly on the glasses.
