Booster is a lightweight, extensible quality optimization toolkit for mobile applications built as a Gradle plugin. It uses bytecode manipulation and static analysis to detect performance issues, optimize threading, fix system bugs, and reduce APK package size.

Use cases

• detect performance issues like blocking I/O on the UI thread
• reduce APK package size by inlining resource indexes and compressing resources
• fix thread management problems causing OOM from too many threads
• globally patch system bugs like the Android API 25 Toast crash
• optimize app stability without modifying business code

When to choose

• you build Android apps with Gradle and want non-intrusive build-time optimization
• you need to reduce APK size or improve stability metrics
• you want to detect or fix threading and performance issues across third-party SDKs
• you need an extensible SPI-based plugin architecture for custom bytecode transforms

When to avoid

• your project does not use the Android Gradle Plugin
• you need runtime (not build-time) optimization
• you target platforms other than Android
• your build environment cannot meet the minimum Gradle/AGP/Kotlin version requirements
