Remote ADB that feels local
PhoneLink exposes your Android phone as a local ADB endpoint, so existing tools can keep using adb, logcat, install, shell, and forward commands.
Remote Android debugging for AI-assisted development
PhoneLink
Keep an Android phone connected as a local ADB device from anywhere. Build with Codex, Claude Code, Android Studio, or plain terminal commands, then install and inspect the real device without reaching for a cable.
Native adb endpoint
One-time pairing
P2P, TURN, relay
What it does
A persistent bridge between your coding machine and your Android phone.
PhoneLink keeps the connection management in the background and gives your development tools a stable ADB target. The phone stays under user control, while the PC handles builds, installs, logs, and debugging commands.
Workflow
Pair once, then debug remotely.
1
Install PhoneLink Desktop on your development machine.
2
Install the Android agent and pair the phone with a short code.
3
Start the desktop service once, then use adb at 127.0.0.1:15555.
adb devices
127.0.0.1:15555 device
adb -s 127.0.0.1:15555 install ./app-debug.apk
Why PhoneLink
Made for the feedback loop developers actually use.
Built for AI coding loops
Let Codex, Claude Code, Android Studio, or your terminal build, install, inspect logs, and iterate while the phone is somewhere else.
P2P first, relay when needed
PhoneLink attempts direct and WebRTC paths first, then falls back to TURN or relay when NATs and firewalls get in the way.
Pricing
Simple annual pricing.
Start with a full month to test the real remote debugging workflow.
PhoneLink Pro
$49
per year
1 month free trial included
- Remote ADB bridge for one developer
- Desktop pairing and background service
- P2P, TURN, and relay connection paths
- Android project build and install from the phone
- Connection diagnostics and transfer speed checks
No monthly complexity.
The first commercial release keeps billing easy: one month to try, then one annual plan. Team management and usage-based relay limits can come later without making the first purchase decision harder.

What developers usually ask first.
Does PhoneLink replace adb?
No. It creates a remote transport that makes the phone appear as a normal local ADB device. Your existing adb commands still work.
Is the server forwarding every byte?
Not when P2P or direct connection succeeds. The server is mainly used for signaling. TURN and WebSocket relay are fallbacks for hard networks.
Do users need USB every time?
No. USB is only a setup fallback. The normal flow is pairing once, then connecting remotely.
What happens during the free trial?
Users get one month to try the remote debugging flow. After the trial, the first commercial plan is a simple annual subscription.
