About Geto
The only reason I created this app is to turn off that damn Developer Options when using a banking app. The only annoying thing about it is you have to go to the Settings app. When you turn off that switch button, your Developer Options configurations will be reset to default. The good thing is that when you modify your settings through its Shared Preferences, you won't lose all your settings once the Developer Options are modified. With Shizuku, you can grant this app with android.permission.WRITESECURESETTINGS in order for it to modify your Settings values.
Privacy and F-Droid
F-Droid builds Geto from its published source code and flags anti-features such as ads, tracking or reliance on non-free services.
No anti-features flagged on the latest F-Droid build.
