Charge Pilot

Charge Pilot gives supported Samsung Galaxy owners explicit control over the phone's existing bypass-charging setting, plus local tools for checking what the battery actually reported.

CONTROL THAT STAYS EXPLICIT

• Keep bypass requested while the phone is plugged in.

• Charge to a target from 20–100%, then request bypass. Charging can resume five percentage points below the target.

• Turn the setting on or off manually, stop automation, or restore the original value saved during setup.

• See the requested setting, charger, battery and game-session preconditions before acting.

TWO LOCAL CONNECTION OPTIONS

Choose one connection in the app:

• Built-in local ADB: pair Charge Pilot with this phone through Android Wireless debugging. No desktop computer is required after setup.

• Shizuku: install and start the separate Shizuku app, then grant Charge Pilot permission.

Charge Pilot never silently switches connections. Pairing or connecting does not enable a charging plan. Root access is not used.

CHARGING LAB

Start a visible, read-only recording of battery level, current, charge counter, voltage, temperature, power source, screen state and charging-control observations. Compare saved sessions, inspect real samples and export CSV + JSON through Android's document picker. Recordings remain on the device until you export or delete them.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

No account, ads, analytics, crash reporter, subscription or in-app purchase. Charge Pilot does not upload charging records. The Full build's Internet permission is used for local ADB sockets and Android local-network service discovery; it does not add a cloud service.

COMPATIBILITY AND LIMITS

Actual bypass behavior depends on the Samsung model, firmware, charger and Game Booster conditions. The app only acts on an already-present, allowlisted binary setting after disclosure and firmware-bound consent. Unsupported or changed firmware stays blocked until reviewed again. OEM thermal and battery-protection settings are not overridden.

A setting readback or near-zero battery-current sample is not proof of the phone's internal electrical power path. Charge Pilot cannot guarantee bypass on every device. Use Charging Lab as local evidence, not electrical certification.

OPEN SOURCE, ONE-TIME PURCHASE

The app is sold once with no recurring charge. You are paying for the signed, packaged release and ongoing maintenance. Exact corresponding source, build instructions and the AGPL-3.0-or-later license are public at:
