Apex Launcher is layout local with file backup. Your desktop, dock, and gestures live privately in the app. Backup files land in shared storage or Files for moves.
That local design keeps things fast. New phones start default. For keeps, run the in app backup to files after arranging icons. Exact private names vary by classic versus Pro builds. Widgets always need re adding after restore, since Android binds them per device outside any backup. When in doubt, verify paths inside the app before trusting a remembered folder.
