An all-in-one Nintendo Switch homebrew tool that manages mods, cheats, CFW updates, and system customization. Built on top of SimpleModDownloader and AIO-Switch-Updater with enhanced features and reliability.

Works on unpatched (Erista) and patched (v2/Mariko) Switches.

• Manage Installed Mods: Enable/disable mods, view mod details, and uninstall mods with an intuitive interface.
• Mod Presets: Create, edit, and apply mod presets to quickly switch between different mod configurations.
• Automatic Mod Status Checking: The app tracks which mods are active, inactive, or partially applied.

PRs and suggestions are encouraged! If you wish to help with localization, you can translate the files in resources/i18n/. The app currently supports English and German, with community translations welcome for other languages.

I do not own, host, nor distribute any of the files that can be downloaded with this homebrew tool. At the owner's request, I will immediately remove the ability to download any problematic file.
