## What it is
Canta is an Android app that lets users uninstall any app without root access, powered by Shizuku. It includes community-powered recommendations for apps to remove and preset configurations for consistent debloating across devices.

## Use cases
- debloat my android phone without root
- uninstall preinstalled bloatware apps
- remove system apps using shizuku
- create and share app removal presets across devices
- find community recommendations for which apps are safe to remove

## When to choose
- you want to remove bloatware from an Android device without rooting it
- you already use or can set up Shizuku via wireless debugging
- you want community guidance on which apps are safe to uninstall

## When to avoid

- your device runs Android below 9.0
- you cannot or do not want to set up Shizuku
