I've never used Shizuku but I’m curious about what it can actually do. What are some practical or interesting use cases?

As a side question: I’m running CalyxOS and would like to export my browser history (probably as a SQLite database), the relevant files seem to be protected or inaccessible. Could Shizuku help me access or export them?

Is it just me, or does SD Maid not do anything it advertises unless you pay?

If you're in a conversation about Shizuku, you should probably be downloading apps from the source. I've donated the equivalent of buying the app, but you don't have to pay anything to get the full features.

A lot of open source developers subsidize their users by charging on the Play Store while offering the complete app on F-Droid or other code repo (like GitHub).

I installed from F-Droid.

I was seeing the pentagram logo with "upgrade" and a nag screen instead of the actual cleaning step, after scanning.

It turns out I'm a dummy who was backing out of the donation website after it loaded but before it could set the flag in the app telling it that I at least looked at the donation page.
