- Detects unused classes, methods, properties, and parameters:
- Supports both Kotlin and Java codebases:
- Android-specific handling (XML parsing, auto-retained entry points):
- Safe delete with interactive and batch modes:
- ProGuard/R8 integration for hybrid analysis:
- Multiple output formats (JSON, CSV, Markdown):
- CI/CD integration support:
- Published on Homebrew for easy installation:
- MIT licensed open-source project:
