Show HN: ADB Remote – First attempt at IDE-less Android development

https://saltserv.gumroad.com/l/adbremote

I built ADB Remote from the sole desire to be able to do Android development without having to commit to launching Android Studio.

ADB Remote wraps common ADB and Gradle operations into a single interface. Useful for quick tasks like checking LogCat, managing devices, running builds, or testing a specific Git branch.

What it does:

File Explorer: Browse your project files and open them directly in your terminal/editor

Git Operations: Checkout and run any branch/tag directly on a device

Gradle Tasks: Run assembleDebug, installDebug, or custom tasks with streaming output

Logcat Viewer: Live filtering by level, tag, or search text

Activity Tracker: Monitor the current foreground activity

ADB Tools: Clear data, uninstall, manage permissions, input text, take screenshots

Visual Testing: Screenshot comparison tool to catch UI regressions

Terminal Integration: Open files in iTerm2, Terminal, Warp, etc.

Feedback welcome—especially if you find yourself avoiding Android Studio for quick device tasks.
