Your Android command center.
Manage apps, run powerful shell commands, control Android TV, transfer files, and diagnose device issues—all in one toolkit.
DroidKit brings everyday device management and advanced ADB tools into one interface. Troubleshoot an app, investigate background activity, send files to another device, or turn your phone into an Android TV remote. Start with visual tools, then open the terminal when you need more control.
This companion repository provides connection tutorials, FAQs, release notes, and a feedback hub to help you get more from DroidKit.

- Update the connection port manually when automatic detection does not find the current endpoint.
Move from a quick command to a full debugging session without leaving DroidKit.
- Run ADB and shell commands to inspect the device, read logs, and troubleshoot issues.
- Keep multiple terminal tabs open and switch to a full-screen terminal when you need more room.
- Reuse command history, enter multiple lines, and access common symbols through quick input controls.

- Inspect version, size, permissions, installation source, and detailed package information.
- Use the
uninstall --user 0option when you need to remove an app for the primary Android user. - Open app settings and access or share the app's Google Play listing.
Advanced actions depend on the Android version, device permissions, and package. Protected system apps have operation restrictions.
Understand what is running and manage how applications behave in the background.
- View running applications and app processes, and stop related apps when needed.
- Inspect background activity while investigating lag or unexpected resource usage.
- Manage background running, background autostart, and boot startup where the device supports these controls.

- Inspect file details and sort files to find the content you need.
- View total, used, and free storage, with usage grouped by content category.
- Locate large files and clear supported caches to reclaim storage.
Capture a result, record a device state, or collect evidence for a bug report.
- Take an immediate screenshot or set a delay before capture.
- Capture screenshots repeatedly with a custom interval.
- Choose a save folder, save captures, and share screenshots.
Use your phone to make big-screen navigation and typing more convenient.
- Control Android TV and TV boxes through remote layouts, directional navigation, and key actions.

Check battery details and test behavior under different simulated power conditions.
- Inspect battery level, charging state, charging type, and available battery details.
- Simulate battery level and charging status for testing.
- Reset simulation to return to the device's actual battery state.
Reach common device controls without typing each command yourself.
- Lock or wake the screen and send a known password to an authorized device.
- Keep the screen on or set the screen timeout to 30 seconds.
- Shut down, reboot, or reboot into Recovery or Bootloader mode.
- Toggle supported mobile data, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC controls.
