Requires a rooted Android device, some utility actions need additional modules or a compatible custom ROM such as LineageOS.

In plain English

Meow Assistant is an Android app that adds Quick Settings tiles and root-powered shortcuts to devices with root access. Quick Settings tiles are the buttons you pull down from the top of your screen, like the ones for Wi-Fi or flashlight. This app adds more of them that many custom Android ROMs leave out. The tiles it provides include a screenshot shortcut, separate toggles for Wi-Fi and mobile data, a caffeine mode that keeps the screen on, a lock device button, and a button to open a WebUI. Beyond tiles, the app also includes a set of utility actions: killing a running app, killing Google Mobile Services (a background process that some users want to stop for privacy or battery reasons), Play Integrity actions, updating the keybox, importing HMA, refreshing a target, and hiding Lineage (a reference to LineageOS, a popular open-source Android distribution). The app was built by the author for personal use after finding that their custom ROM was missing several features they relied on daily. Root access is required for the app to work, and some of the utilities may need additional modules or configuration to function. Installation is a manual APK install from the releases page: download, install, grant root permission, and then add whichever tiles you want through Android's Quick Settings editor. The README is brief and does not go into detail about what each utility action does beyond its name. The project is shared as-is in case others running rooted Android devices find it useful.
