🖥️ Automate with Batch Script (Windows) To make it easier, you can use the included generate_app_lists.bat to automate data extraction:

How to Use: Place the .bat file inside your platform-tools folder (where adb.exe is located)

Double-click the file — it will generate:

app.txt: all installed apps

launcher.txt: launchable (visible) apps

Then run the Python script: bash python find_hidden_apps.py Output (optional): You can save hidden apps list: python with open("hidden_apps.txt", "w") as out: for pkg in sorted(hidden_apps): out.write(f"{pkg}\n") Optional: Add hidden_apps.txt as Example Output Create a dummy example like: com.example.hiddenapp com.test.supervision com.spy.stealthlauncher

This Python script helps detect hidden Android apps that are not visible in the launcher, which are often used for parental supervision, background services, or system-level operations.
