🚀 Ready to streamline your Android development?
Download ADB Remote →I built ADB Remote, a lightweight desktop tool for Android developers to manage devices, run builds, and view logs without having to open a full IDE sometimes.
What is ADB Remote?
ADB Remote wraps common ADB and Gradle operations into a single interface. Useful for quick tasks like checking logcat, pulling files, running a build on a device, or testing a specific branch—situations where spinning up Android Studio feels like overkill.
Built with Kotlin/Compose Multiplatform.
Requirements
- macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later
- Android SDK with
adbin your PATH - Java 17+ runtime (bundled in the DMG)
Features
Project Setup
Attach any Android project directory. The app detects Gradle configuration, available build variants, and connected devices automatically.
File Explorer
Browse the device filesystem directly. Navigate directories, pull files without typing adb pull commands.
Claude Code
AI-powered coding assistant embedded in your workflow. Run Claude Code directly in an embedded terminal, ask questions about your codebase, and get help with development tasks without leaving the app.
Git Operations
View local branches and tags. Checkout any branch/tag and run it on a connected device. Handy for testing specific commits or quickly checking out a PR branch.
Gradle Tasks
Lists available Gradle tasks from your project. Run assembleDebug, installDebug, or any custom task with output streaming.
Logcat
Live logcat viewer with filtering by log level, tag, or search text.
Activity Tracker
Monitors the current foreground activity on the device. Helpful for debugging navigation or understanding app state.
ADB Tools
Common ADB commands in one place: clear app data, uninstall, grant/revoke permissions, input text, take screenshots.
Visual (Screenshot) Testing
Screenshot comparison tool. Capture a baseline, compare against new screenshots to catch UI regressions.
Terminal Integration
Open any file in your preferred terminal or IDE. Supports iTerm2, Terminal.app, Warp, and others.
