About this app

Your phone has a whole host of "system-limited" features—silent installation, app freezing, permission adjustments, and access to system settings—access that normally only the system itself can access. Rooting your phone would certainly give you access to these features, but at a significant cost.

I took a different approach: I first run a privileged little process for you (by wireless debugging, USB, or root access), and then lend that privilege to apps you trust . It's not like opening the door to thieves—each app needs your approval before granting access, and you can revoke it at any time.

Shizako is an Apache-2.0 licensed fork of Shizuku with an original catgirl mascot. It runs a privileged service via ADB / wireless debugging / root and lends elevated APIs to apps you trust — including apps built with the official dev.rikka.shizuku:api, which connect without any code change

What's new

vzako3.13Oct 15, 2026

Authorization stability fixes, plus the F-Droid build.
New: a dedicated F-Droid variant (-f version suffix), submitted to F-Droid: self-update and the update check are turned off, only the official GitHub API is used (no third-party mirrors), the one-click injection and AI explain entries are hidden, and the compatibility stub is not packaged Fixed: after activating the service with root, granting an app permission and refreshing the list made that app disappear from the granted list (the server wrote the authorization record without a package name; records already broken in the old config file are healed too, no re-grant needed) Fixed: granting / revoking permissions for apps built against the official dev.rikka.shizuku:api (which declare only the upstream permission name) Fixed: a crash when leaving the "start service" page within the 3-second auto-close window (Fragment not associated with a fragment manager) About: wording cleanup
