## What it is
An Android app that adds a quick settings tile for switching the active private DNS (DNS-over-TLS) provider with a single tap. It supports any number of providers and requires the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission granted via Shizuku or ADB.

## Use cases
- quickly toggle private DNS on Android
- switch between adblocking DNS servers with one tap
- change DNS-over-TLS provider from quick settings
- manage multiple private DNS providers on a phone
- toggle private DNS without opening system settings

## When to choose
- you want a one-tap switch for Android private DNS providers
- you frequently toggle adblocking DNS servers on and off
- you are comfortable granting WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS via Shizuku or ADB

## When to avoid
- you need DNS-over-HTTPS configuration rather than the system private DNS setting
- your device cannot run Shizuku and you cannot use ADB
- you need a full VPN-based DNS changer app
