SvelteKit Web App for Android Device Management via ADB

A functional web application for managing Android apps through ADB commands. Features batch processing, app metadata analysis, and bulk operations for device cleanup.

Functional table interface with batch processing, selection tools, and app metadata

✨ Features

🚀 Advanced App Intelligence

• High-Accuracy Names: AAPT-powered real app display names (no more com.package.names)
• Comprehensive Metadata: Install source, target SDK, last used dates, data usage, app flags
• Smart Device Detection: Auto-detects Samsung Fold models and other devices with pretty names

📊 Functional UI

• Sortable Data Table: Click column headers to sort by size, date, SDK version, etc.
• Range Selection: Shift-click to select multiple apps at once
• Batch Progress: Live progress tracking during app processing
• User Feedback: Toast notifications for actions and errors

⚡ Performance Features

• Batch Processing: Processes apps in groups of 5 to prevent system overload
• Stop Control: Cancel batch operations in progress
• Caching: File-based cache for faster subsequent loads
• Error Handling: Tracks and displays failed operations

🎯 Additional Features

• Bulk Operations: Select and uninstall multiple apps at once
• System App Protection: Basic safety checks to prevent removing system apps
• Device Detection: Identifies connected Android devices with friendly names
• App Store Links: Click app names to open store pages (where available)

🛠 System Requirements
