๐ About
Canta allows you to uninstall pre-installed or user apps without root, by leveraging Shizuku.
It integrates with the Universal Debloat List to provide safe recommendations.
- โ No root required
- โ Detects previously uninstalled apps (even across reinstalls)
- โ Works on Android 9.0+ (SDK 28+)
- โ ๏ธ No permanent bricking (If you uninstall critical apps, you can experience bootloop and have to factory reset!)
* Some oplus apps are known to be stubborn and don't allow uninstallations. See tracking issue.

Star History
How Shizuku is used
Can uninstall apps including system bloatware and restore removed apps via privileged `PackageInstaller` through Shizuku.
This is an AI-assisted analysis of Shizuku-related usages in the app's public source code. It is best effort, so it may not catch every single usage.
How this app uses Shizuku
Canta uses Shizuku to remove and restore apps, including preinstalled system apps that normally cannot be uninstalled.
- Uninstall selected apps: the user can select installed apps and remove them for the current user, including system apps, with an option to first reset updated system apps to the factory version, applied through a privileged package installer through Shizuku.
- Restore removed apps: the user can reinstall previously removed preinstalled apps from the uninstalled list, using the copy still on the device, applied through the privileged installer through Shizuku.
