Description

aShell is a local ADB shell for [Shizuku](https://shizuku.rikka.app/) powered android devices.

Requirements

Features

- An elegantly designed user interface.
- Included a bundle of examples about common adb commands.
- Now comes with an in-built file manager to access privileged file system.

- Search for specific text from the last command output.
- Option to save last command output as a text file.
- Bookmark frequently using commands.
- An auto-dark/light theme.
- A lot more.
