In plain English

SD Maid 2/SE is an Android app for cleaning and managing storage on your phone. Its main job is freeing up space and removing data you no longer need. It is the successor to the original SD Maid app and was rewritten from scratch to work well on newer versions of Android, focusing on the features users found most useful in the first version. The app includes several distinct tools. CorpseFinder looks for leftover data from apps you have already uninstalled, which Android often leaves behind. AppCleaner removes expendable files like caches. SystemCleaner lets you set your own filters to find and delete files based on rules you define. A Scheduler lets you automate these cleanup actions. AppControl lets you view and disable apps on your device. StorageAnalyzer gives you an overview of what is taking up space. Deduplicator finds duplicate files. Media Squeeze compresses images. Swiper provides a swipe-based interface for quickly deleting files. The app also supports root access and Shizuku, which are methods for giving the app deeper system permissions on Android. SD Maid SE has no ads and does not sell user data. Development is funded by users buying an upgrade to the Pro version on Google Play or through sponsorships on GitHub. The free version is available on Google Play, F-Droid, and GitHub releases. The project is actively under development and not yet feature complete according to the README, so new features are still being added. The source code is licensed under GPL v3, which means it is open source and anyone can inspect or modify it, though the icons, animations, and marketing assets are excluded from that license.
