Description

ADB Captain runs ADB commands right on your phone. No computer, no root - it works through Shizuku.

What's inside:

- Terminal. pm, am, dumpsys, settings, input - anything adb shell takes. Autocomplete pulls from your command history, and you can pin the commands you use most.
- Apps. Every installed package in one list, user and system apps separated. Each one gets a plain safety rating, so you know what's safe to disable or remove.
- Devices. Model, Android version, battery, connection status. Reboot and screenshots from the same screen.
- Wireless ADB. Pair and connect to any device over Wi-Fi, then run shell commands on it. Saved devices, one-tap reconnect, optional auto-reconnect.
- Logcat. Live system log, filterable by level and text.
- Sideload and tools. Install an APK from storage, record the screen, flip Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or airplane mode, type text, open links.
- Appearance. Light or dark theme, five accent palettes, or follow the system colors with Material You.

AGPL-3.0. No ads, no analytics, no accounts.
