What is Shizuku?

Shizuku is a software solution that enables applications to directly utilize system APIs. It offers an elegant approach to system API usage by allowing apps to access APIs with elevated privileges, bypassing the need for a root shell. Notably, Shizuku operates at a significantly higher speed compared to shell, offering a more efficient experience.

The software also offers support for adb (Android Debug Bridge) usage. This feature allows applications that typically require root access to function with just adb permissions, potentially broadening the user base. Shizuku is complemented by comprehensive documentation, providing users with extensive guidance for installation and usage. The only requirement from the user's end is to install Shizuku, streamlining the process and saving time.
