ADB Remote – Terminal-based Android development tool

Summary: ADB Remote is a macOS desktop app that consolidates ADB and Gradle commands into one interface, enabling quick Android development tasks without launching Android Studio. It detects Gradle setups, build variants, and connected devices automatically for streamlined builds and code edits from the terminal.

What it does

It wraps common ADB and Gradle operations like checking logcat, pulling files, running builds, and testing branches into a single interface. The app attaches to any Android project directory and auto-detects configurations and devices.

Who it's for

Android developers needing a lightweight alternative to Android Studio for quick device and build tasks.

Why it matters

It reduces overhead by avoiding full IDE startup for routine Android development operations.
