Show HN: ADB Remote – First attempt at IDE-less Android development
saltserv.gumroad.comI built ADB Remote from the sole desire to be able to do Android development without having to commit to launching Android Studio.
ADB Remote wraps common ADB and Gradle operations into a single interface. Useful for quick tasks like checking LogCat, managing devices, running builds, or testing a specific Git branch.
What it does:
File Explorer: Browse your project files and open them directly in your terminal/editor
Git Operations: Checkout and run any branch/tag directly on a device
Gradle Tasks: Run assembleDebug, installDebug, or custom tasks with streaming output
Logcat Viewer: Live filtering by level, tag, or search text
Activity Tracker: Monitor the current foreground activity
ADB Tools: Clear data, uninstall, manage permissions, input text, take screenshots
Visual Testing: Screenshot comparison tool to catch UI regressions
Terminal Integration: Open files in iTerm2, Terminal, Warp, etc.
Feedback welcome—especially if you find yourself avoiding Android Studio for quick device tasks.
