## What it is
A cross-platform desktop GUI application written in Rust that uses ADB to remove bloatware from non-rooted Android devices. It ships curated debloat lists for Google, OEM, carrier, and AOSP packages to improve privacy, security, and battery life.

## Use cases
- remove bloatware from my android phone without root
- debloat samsung xiaomi oneplus system apps
- improve battery life by uninstalling carrier apps
- disable google and facebook preinstalled apps
- reduce attack surface on my android device
- manage system packages across multiple phones via adb
- export and restore my app removal selections

## When to choose
- you want to debloat a non-rooted Android device safely via ADB
- you want a GUI instead of typing ADB commands manually
- you want curated, documented package lists for your manufacturer or carrier
- you need multi-device or multi-user (work profile) support

## When to avoid
- your device is rooted and you want true uninstallation of system apps
- you cannot enable USB debugging or access a computer
- you are unwilling to risk a bootloop requiring a factory reset
- you need a headless or scripted solution rather than a GUI
