SD Maid 2/SE is an Android file management and system cleaning tool that specializes in freeing up storage space and removing unwanted data from devices.
The tool addresses the problem of accumulated junk on Android devices through specialized modules targeting different types of waste. CorpseFinder removes leftover data from uninstalled apps, AppCleaner deletes expendable files like caches, and SystemCleaner applies user-configurable filters to arbitrary files. Beyond cleaning, the tool offers storage analysis to visualize disk usage, duplicate detection, image compression, app control features, and action scheduling. It supports both standard Android permissions and elevated access through root or Shizuku.
SD Maid SE is a complete rewrite of the original SD Maid, optimized for modern Android versions and focused on the predecessor's most popular features. The tool suits users who want granular control over what gets cleaned and need visibility into their storage consumption. It is available across multiple distribution channels including Google Play, GitHub releases, and F-Droid, with both stable and testing tracks available.
The project is actively under development and explicitly not feature complete, with the maintainers welcoming feature requests. The tool is distributed without advertisements and does not collect user data.
