An open-source Superuser management app and su binary for rooted Android devices, written in C and Java. It grants and manages root permission requests and can be built with the Android NDK or embedded into AOSP-based ROMs.
Use cases
- manage root permission requests on a rooted android device
- open source alternative to closed-source superuser apps
- embed a superuser manager into a custom ROM's settings
- build an su binary for ARM, x86, or MIPS
- handle concurrent su requests and multiuser android properly
When to choose
- you maintain a custom ROM and want an embeddable, open-source root manager
- you need an NDK-buildable su binary for multiple architectures
- you want independently auditable code for the root gateway on your device
When to avoid
- you need a modern, actively developed root manager for recent Android versions
- you are not working with rooted Android devices
- you need Magisk-style systemless root
