adb-claw
Your eyes, hands, and ears on Android. See the screen (screenshot + indexed UI tree), interact (tap, swipe, scroll, type, clear-field), navigate via deep links (bypass CJK text input limits), wait for UI state changes instead of polling, monitor live UI text via accessibility framework (works during video playback), capture system audio (Android 11+, WAV stream for piping to ASR tools), manage full app lifecycle (install/uninstall/clear), control screen (on/off/unlock/rotation), run shell commands, and transfer files. Agent-optimized: structured JSON output, indexed element targeting, and App Profiles with pre-built deep links and layouts for popular apps.

ADB Claw — Android Device Control
Your eyes, hands, and ears on Android. See what's on screen, tap any element, scroll through content, open deep links, wait for UI changes, capture system audio, manage apps, and more — all through a single CLI with structured JSON output.
Why ADB Claw
Superpowers — What You Can't Get Elsewhere:
- Live stream intelligence —
monitorconnects to Android's accessibility framework, reading all UI text in real-time — even during video playback and live streams whereuiautomator dumphangs. Chat messages, captions, dynamic overlays — data no other tool exposes to agents. - System audio capture —
audio capturerecords device audio via REMOTE_SUBMIX (Android 11+); streams WAV to stdout for piping to ASR tools. Combined withmonitor, you get full sensory coverage: visual text + audio.
Core Strengths:
- Observe → Act → Verify loop —
observereturns screenshot + indexed UI tree in one call; use element indices to target precisely across any screen size - Deep links bypass CJK limits —
