A visual ADB debugging tool. Works with phones, tablets, smart TVs and set-top boxes — anything that speaks ADB. Fully local client: no backend, no accounts, no ads, no data upload. WHAT IT DOES - Remote: D-Pad, Home / Back, volume, power — type with your iPhone keyboard - Apps: browse installed apps, install / uninstall APKs, launch or stop, export to share - Screenshot & recording: capture the device screen, save to Photos, share anywhere - Files: transfer between iPhone and device, no USB stick needed - Logs & debugging: live logcat, Shell terminal, processes and performance - Device info: model, OS version, resolution and storage at a glance WHY IT'S FAST AND STABLE ADB is only the bootstrap — operations run over a persistent local channel on the device. Fully local, no cloud, resilient on flaky Wi-Fi. PRICING Browsing and viewing are free. Pro tools (install / transfer / Shell and more) are available through a monthly subscription or a lifetime purchase, with shared Pro access on iPhone and Mac.
