A longtime contributor to ClockworkMod, Koushik Dutta has unleashed his latest creation on the Android community, the ClockworkMod Superuser App. Dutta, who is also known for his work on ROM Manager and Carbon Backup has created a free, open-sourced superuser app with some advanced features that you won’t find in other superuser apps. Here’s a list of what to expect from the ClockworkMod Superuser App:

Features:
* Multiuser support
* OPEN SOURCE (https://github.com/koush/Superuser)
* Pin protection
* Manifest permission support
* Per app configuration
* FREE
* Request timeout
* Logging
* Notifications
* Proper Tablet UX

Upon release, this app was only available in a flashable form, but it has now been optimized for availability on the Google Play Store. Koush does advise however that users may still need to flash the file if they are having issues with installation via the Google Play Store, as well as for those users who have not yet rooted their device.

So if you’re rooted, head over to the Google Play Store and check it out. Otherwise, the .APK can be downloaded here. Check out the video below of ClockworkMod Superuser in action!
