Supernote APK Installation Tool

English | 简体中文 | 繁體中文 | 日本語 | 한국어

📖 Introduction

This is an APK installation toolkit specifically designed for Supernote devices. Supernote cannot directly install APK files and requires sideloading via ADB (Android Debug Bridge) tool.

This project provides ready-to-use ADB tools for Windows, Linux, and Mac systems, no additional configuration needed!
