ADB Assistant is a macOS GUI wrapper for the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) command-line tool. It lets you communicate with connected Android devices and perform common tasks from your Mac.
Currently it provides the ability to:
- Choose a device from the list of connected devices
- Reboot the device into
- System
- Recovery
- Bootloader
- Capture screenshots and save them to your Mac
- Install APKs with an easy drag-and-drop workflow
- Download the latest binary from the Releases page and move it to your Mac's Applications folder
- Install the latest Android Platform Tools from Google, or via Homebrew:
brew install --cask android-platform-tools - Launch the app and specify the Platform Tools path (Homebrew installs them at
/usr/local/share/android-sdk/platform-tools) - If macOS warns that the app is from an unverified developer, open System Settings → Privacy & Security and allow the app to run
- Enable Developer Options on your Android device (tap the build number 5–7 times in Settings → About phone), then turn on USB debugging
- Connect the device and the app will automatically detect it and display the available actions
The app has no external dependencies — just clone the repo and build it with the latest version of Xcode.
