## What it is
An Android app that installs APKs on-device with advanced options (test-only apps, bypassing target SDK limits, downgrades, split APKs) using Shizuku for shell permissions. It removes the need for ADB from a computer.

## Use cases
- install test-only APKs without a computer
- bypass Android 14 target SDK install restriction
- downgrade an app on-device
- install split APKs from my phone
- batch install multiple APKs
- sideload apps using Shizuku

## When to choose
- you want advanced APK install options directly on an Android 11+ device
- you need to install split APKs or multiple apps at once without ADB
- you want a simple, focused installer rather than a feature-heavy manager

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured package installation manager (consider InstallerX Revived)
- your device runs Android below 11 and you lack ADB/Shizuku setup
- the APK lacks native libraries for your CPU architecture
