About this app

ADB Shell: Wireless Terminal turns your Android phone or tablet into a full ADB terminal, so you can inspect, debug and manage another Android device without a laptop.

Connect over Wi-Fi using classic ADB over TCP/IP, or with a USB OTG cable. Once connected, everything runs from your phone.

SHELL CONSOLE
Open a real interactive ADB shell, not a one-shot command runner. The console keeps a persistent session, so you can move around the filesystem, run several commands in the same shell and keep your working directory. It handles ANSI and VT colour, alternate screens, cursor addressing, function keys and hardware shortcuts — enough for full-screen terminal programs. Dangerous commands are flagged before they run, with a hold-to-confirm step for anything destructive.

FILE MANAGER
Browse the remote filesystem over ADB Sync and move data in both directions. Upload and download files, create folders, rename, delete, search, sort, and show or hide hidden files. Long transfers run with live progress, speed and ETA, can be cancelled, and survive interruptions with verified resume instead of starting over from zero.

PACKAGE MANAGER
See every installed package, split into user, system and disabled apps. Open structured app info, grant or revoke runtime permissions, export APKs, install a package, launch it, force stop it or clear its data — all over ADB.

LIVE LOGCAT
Stream device logs in real time with level, tag, buffer and PID filters, free-text search, and export to a file when you need to share a trace.

COMMAND LIBRARY AND SCRIPTS
A large built-in library of ready-made ADB commands, grouped by task, with favourites and one-tap execution. Build your own scripts with typed variables, save them, share or export them, and re-run them whenever you need.

DEVICE AND NETWORK TOOLS
Read hardware and software details, battery health, display metrics and Wi-Fi connection info. Check listening ports, test reachability with ping, capture a screenshot or record the screen, and reach input, process and dumpsys tools from one place.

BUILT FOR THE JOB
• No root required
• No desktop software and no cable to a computer
• Material 3 interface with a dark theme and a large-screen layout for tablets
• English only

WHO IT IS FOR
Developers, QA testers, support engineers and anyone who needs to work with an Android device from another one. Useful on a test bench, in the field, or when a laptop is not nearby.

Free to use, supported by ads.

Note: ADB Shell is a client. The device you connect to must have Developer options enabled, with USB debugging or network debugging switched on.

What’s new

Improved Wi-Fi connection setup with clear feedback for missing or invalid addresses and ports. Connection attempts now show progress and allow retrying after failures. Fixed crashes in connection setup, command templates and clearing local data. Updated setup instructions and removed unavailable pairing options.
