A Kotlin library for Android that detects the presence of suspicious apps such as Magisk on a device. It helps apps check whether the environment may be rooted or tampered with.

Use cases

  • detect if a device has Magisk installed
  • check for root-hiding apps on Android
  • verify device integrity before allowing sensitive operations
  • detect suspicious installed applications in an Android app
  • add root detection to a banking or DRM app

When to choose

  • you are building an Android app in Kotlin that needs to detect Magisk or similar suspicious apps
  • you want a lightweight library-level integration for app-list based detection

When to avoid

  • you need comprehensive root detection beyond app-list inspection
  • your project is not Android/Kotlin based
  • you need actively maintained detection against the latest hiding techniques
