Tether API exposes your phone's connection status via a local HTTP API, accessible from tethered devices like laptops.

Perfect for integrating phone status into desktop widgets, status bars (waybar, polybar), or custom scripts.

Features:
• Auto-start when tethering is enabled
• Real-time connection info: 5G, LTE, 3G, WiFi
• Signal strength in dBm and bars (0-4)
• Carrier name and roaming status
• Battery level and charging state
• Simple REST API with JSON responses

API Endpoints:
• GET /status - Full phone status
• GET /health - Health check

Example usage from your laptop:
curl http://192.168.42.1:8765/status

Use cases:
• Waybar/polybar modules showing phone signal
• KDE Plasma widgets
• Custom scripts and automation
• Any app that can make HTTP requests

The server runs on port 8765 and is only accessible from your tethered device, not the internet.
