Android Debug Bridge (ADB) for Web Browsers

Manipulate Android devices from any (supported) web browsers, even from another Android device.

Online demo: https://smartdust-me.github.io/webadb

How does it work

I'm working on a series of blog posts explaining the ADB protocol and my implementation in details.

@yume-chan/adb contains a platform-independent TypeScript implementation of the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) protocol.

@yume-chan/adb-backend-webusb contains a backend for @yume-chan/adb that uses WebUSB API.

See README in each package for more implementation details.
