## Description

Developer Tools is a compact utility for Android developers and curious users who need fast access to device internals. Extract APKs, inspect installed apps and resource qualifiers, view build details, system properties and environment variables, and list available system features. Quickly jump to developer options or the installed apps list with built-in shortcuts.

Monitor screen dimensions in dp/pt/in/sp/px/mm, check RAM and battery stats, view sensor telemetry, and fetch network details including your public IP and Bluetooth info. If there's a feature you'd like added, the app author welcomes suggestions to extend functionality.
