## What it is
A cross-platform desktop GUI application written in Rust that uses ADB to remove bloatware from non-rooted Android devices. It aims to improve privacy, security, and battery life by uninstalling or disabling unnecessary system apps.

## Use cases
- remove bloatware from my android phone without root
- debloat samsung xiaomi system apps via adb
- improve android privacy by deleting tracking apps
- extend battery life by disabling preinstalled apps
- find safe packages to uninstall on android
- manage android system packages from my pc

## When to choose
- you want a GUI tool rather than raw ADB commands
- your Android device is not rooted
- you want community-curated safety ratings for which packages to remove
- you care about privacy and want a tool that collects no user data

## When to avoid
- your device is rooted and you prefer an on-device debloater like AppManager
- you need to debloat without a PC (consider Shizuku-based tools like Canta)
- you are unwilling to accept the risk of removing packages that may affect device functionality
