You need to be
ROOTED for all features besides Battery Monitor which works rootless.
Franco Kernel Manager makes use of the AccessibilityService allowing us to detect the activity displayed in the window. As as example, when this service is enabled and running whenever you open an app we are alerted through the api the visible window state is changed, and we can infer the activity's package name and thus checking if we have a profile for said package and apply it. No data is collected/stored/logged through this process.
