Android Use

Computer-use, for Android. Let Claude see and operate a real Android phone — tap, type, navigate settings, launch apps — over cellular, from anywhere. Open source, via MCP.

⭐ Star on GitHub Quick start Claude reading an Android phone's screen and turning off an alarm by tapping the element by index

Why it's different

Accessibility tree, not pixels

It reads the phone's real UI tree and acts on labelled elements by index — far more reliable than screenshotting and guessing coordinates.

Works over cellular

Cellular + Tailscale means the phone needs no Wi-Fi and no cable. Help someone with their phone from another city.

Any language

Types Telugu, Hindi, emoji — anything — via ACTION_SET_TEXT, which adb input text can't do.

Owner always in control

On-device app allowlist, time-boxed grants, an always-on notification with a Stop button. No lock-screen bypass.

Try it in 2 minutes

# enable USB debugging on the phone, then just talk to Claude:
#   "turn off my 7am alarm"   ·   "why isn't my internet working?"
