## What it is
An Android app manager that freezes and unfreezes groups of apps based on VPN connection state using system-level `pm disable-user` via Shizuku. It includes a home screen launcher, VPN client orchestration, and pinned shortcuts for one-tap freeze/VPN/launch workflows.

## Use cases
- freeze apps when VPN is off so they never leak traffic
- only allow certain apps to run through my VPN
- completely disable apps so they can't detect VPN
- auto-start my VPN client when launching specific apps
- manage groups of apps I want frozen on boot
- create home screen shortcuts that launch apps with the right VPN state

## When to choose
- you need stronger isolation than work-profile sandboxes like Island or Shelter, since disabled apps cannot detect VPN
- you use Shizuku and want automated freeze/unfreeze tied to VPN state
- you want one-tap shortcuts that orchestrate VPN connection and app launch together

## When to avoid
- you want simple sandboxing without granting Shizuku or shell-level permissions
- you need per-app VPN split tunneling rather than whole-app freezing
- your device cannot run Shizuku
