DISCLAIMER: Use at your own risk. We're not responsible for anything that could happen to your devices.
This is a detached fork of the UAD project. This aims to improve privacy and efficiency (energy, speed, memory) by removing unnecessary and obscure system apps. This can also improve security by reducing the attack surface. Read the wiki for more details.
Documentation
Everything about UAD-ng (and related stuff) can be found on the Wiki, such as:

Privacy
UAD-ng does not collect or transmit any user data. The only external connections are GET requests to GitHub for fetching the package list (crates/uad-core/src/uad_lists.rs) and checking for updates (crates/uad-core/src/update.rs).
