An Android application that detects whether a device is rooted, using native code checks. It is written in Kotlin and distributed as a downloadable release APK.

Use cases

  • check if my android device is rooted
  • detect root on android app
  • test root detection bypass
  • verify device integrity before running sensitive app
  • find su binary and magisk on android
  • audit android device for root indicators

When to choose

  • you need a quick, free Android app to check root status on a device
  • you want a native-based detector to test against root-hiding tools
  • you are evaluating device integrity for security research

When to avoid

  • you need a root detection SDK to embed in your own app rather than a standalone tool
  • you need guaranteed protection against advanced root hiding like KernelSU or APatch
  • you need iOS jailbreak detection
