Dhizuku is a free, open-source Android utility that allows compatible applications to access Device Owner permissions through a shared interface. It is designed for advanced device administration and applications requiring privileged management capabilities. Users first activate Dhizuku as the device's Device Owner using the documented setup process. Compatible applications can then request access through the Dhizuku API. This approach allows developers to integrate Device Owner functionality without independently provisioning each application. Experimental activation through Shizuku is available on Android 12 and newer. Initial configuration may require removing existing device accounts. Dhizuku supports Android 6.0 through Android 17 and provides a multilingual interface.
