# SlimDroid: Reclaim Your Android Experience

**SlimDroid** is a high-performance, open-source desktop utility built in **Rust** designed to help you debloat, manage, and optimize your Android device without the need for root access. It bridges the power of the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) with a modern, responsive GUI to give you full control over the applications installed on your phone.

### 🚀 Why SlimDroid?

Modern Android smartphones often come pre-loaded with unwanted "bloatware"—apps from carriers or manufacturers that drain battery, consume storage, and invade privacy. Removing these manually via the command line is tedious and risky.

SlimDroid simplifies this process into a safe, visual interface. Whether you are a privacy advocate, a minimalist, or just want to free up space, SlimDroid is your command center.
