Where Does Kiwi Browser Store Data?

Kiwi Browser keeps its profile in private storage under package com.kiwibrowser.browser on Android, with downloads in system Download. Archived in 2025.

Last updated

Kiwi earns a careful post because two details surprise everyone. The package is com.kiwibrowser.browser, not the obvious kiwi dotted guess, and the project itself is archived with its store listing gone. Installed copies run on borrowed time.

Storage follows Android convention without per-app documentation. The private root holds the Chromium profile with extensions, needing root to inspect. Downloads default to system Download. Quoted here is the package root plus the download behavior, with internal filenames deliberately left out as unverified.

Where Kiwi Browser stores this, by platform

Android
/data/data/com.kiwibrowser.browser

Private profile root for the verified Geometry OU package, holding the Chromium profile with extensions. Archived project, so back up bookmarks to HTML. Internal filenames follow Chromium convention but are unpublished per-app.

Android
/storage/emulated/0/Download

Default download target on shared storage, user-changeable in browser settings. No verified Kiwi-specific subfolder. Scoped storage behavior varies by Android version.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kiwi Browser still updated?

They stay with the archived build. Kiwi was archived in early 2025 with the Play listing removed, so installed copies keep working but receive nothing new. Export bookmarks to HTML from inside the app before migrating to another Chromium browser.

What is the real Kiwi Browser package name?

Use com.kiwibrowser.browser, the Geometry OU package. Similarly named listings such as the private-navigate clone are different apps by other authors. Extension state and logins live in the private root needing root to browse.

Where are my Kiwi downloads?

Check system Download first, since Kiwi defaults there with user overrides. No verified Kiwi-specific subfolder exists. The exact internal profile files follow Chromium convention but were never published per-app, so only the package root is quoted.
