A systemless hosts manager for rooted Android devices that works with APatch, KernelSU, and Magisk. It provides ad-blocking and hostname redirection via bind mounts and OverlayFS, controlled through a WebUI or action button, with self-updating support.

Use cases

• block ads systemlessly on a rooted android phone
• manage hosts file overrides without modifying the system partition
• redirect domains to localhost on magisk or kernelsu
• use adaway alongside a root manager hosts module
• control hosts blocking from a webui or module action button

When to choose

• you have a rooted android device with APatch, KernelSU, or Magisk and want systemless hosts-based ad blocking
• you need multiple redirect methods and manager mount options
• you want a self-updating module with WebUI control

When to avoid

• your device is not rooted or you use a different root solution
• you need DNS-level or network-wide ad blocking rather than hosts-file blocking
• you run stock Magisk without WebUI support and prefer a GUI beyond the action button
