## What it is
Cocoon Shell is a customisable Android frontend for retro gaming handhelds that organises your game library and launches games through emulators, similar to EmulationStation and Pegasus. It supports single and dual-screen devices, external displays, widgets, playtime tracking, and RetroAchievements/Steam achievements.

## Use cases
- organise a retro game library on an Android handheld
- launch retro games through emulators from one interface
- customise a game grid layout with widgets on a handheld
- track playtime and gaming activity stats
- view RetroAchievements and Steam achievements for games
- use a frontend on dual-screen handhelds like AYN Thor or Anbernic RG DS
- search and bulk-organise games across folders

## When to choose
- you want an EmulationStation or Pegasus alternative on Android handhelds
- you have a dual-screen Android handheld and want a frontend that supports it
- you want playtime tracking, achievements, and customisable home-screen widgets in a game launcher

## When to avoid
- you need a frontend on Linux or Windows today, as cross-platform releases are still in development
- you want an emulator itself rather than a frontend that launches games through emulators
- you need a fully stable release for production-critical setups
