  • Auto-extracts .obb files from XAPK/APKM archives directly to Android/obb/<package>/.

  • Push packages directly to Android TV via QR code scanning.
  • Optional PIN security for local network access.

• 🗂️ App Manager:

  • Inspect installed user & system apps with rich details (SDK targets, size, permissions, signatures).
  • Sort and filter by name, install date, size, or last used time.
  • Batch uninstall with detailed status logs.

• 📥 Remote Downloader & Intake:

  • Download APK packages directly from web URLs with download history.
  • Deep-link and intent handling to open packages from browsers, messaging apps, and file managers.
