SuperSU is an Android application that can keep track of the root permissions of apps, after the Android device has been rooted.[1][2]

SuperSU is generally installed through a custom recovery such as TWRP.[3] SuperSU includes the option to undo the rooting.[4] SuperSU cannot always reliably hide the rooting.[5]

History

In 2014, support for Android 5.0 was added.[6]

In 2018, the application was removed from the Google Play Store.[7]

In 2018, the original developer Chainfire announced their departure of SuperSU development, although others continue to maintain it.[8]

Library

The SuperSU project includes a wrapper library written in Java called libsuperuser for different ways of calling the su binary.[9]
