## What it is
Android-Touch-Helper (AdSkip) is an open-source Android app that automatically skips splash/startup ads using the Accessibility Service. It detects and clicks skip buttons via keyword matching, predefined UI controls, or configured screen positions, with no network or storage permissions.

## Use cases
- automatically skip splash ads when opening apps on android
- auto-click skip buttons using accessibility service
- block app startup ads without root
- configure custom skip rules for specific apps
- whitelist apps to avoid false skip prompts

## When to choose
- you want a privacy-focused, open-source ad skipper with no network permissions
- you need keyword, control, or position-based skip rules on Android
- you prefer an app available on F-Droid and Google Play

## When to avoid
- you need active development or new features - the maintainer has limited time
- you want a more actively maintained alternative like gkd-kit/gkd
- you need ad blocking beyond splash screens
