One workspace, every essential control

Everything you need to work with Android devices on macOS.

Connect a real Android phone, see its live display, and keep the most common development and QA actions close at hand.

Multi-device overview

See connected devices in one overview and jump into an isolated single-device control workspace.

Live screen mirroring

Inspect a real Android display with a local STF Lite screen stream and device-aware sizing.

Keyboard and touch input

Type, tap, drag, navigate, and use hardware controls from the Mac while the phone keeps its native focus.

Clipboard and screenshots

Move text between Mac and Android, or copy the current device screenshot directly to the Mac clipboard.

ADB tools

Run shell commands and query system version, screen resolution, network information, and device state.

Device workflows

Install APKs, manage installed apps, open system settings, and configure Android developer options.

Built for practical Android work

A focused desktop control surface for real devices.

Mobile Matrix keeps the device visible and the surrounding tools organized, whether you are debugging one phone or checking a small device bench.

01

Android developers

Inspect behavior on a physical phone without switching between separate mirroring, ADB, and input utilities.

02

QA and mobile testing

Keep multiple authorized devices visible, compare states, and open a dedicated control workspace when a test needs deeper interaction.

03

Device operations

Use one local dashboard for device discovery, APK management, system tools, clipboard workflows, and screen capture.

Start in a few minutes

Connect Android to your Mac through ADB.

The release package includes the desktop app and its STF Lite runtime. Your Android device only needs the standard developer options and USB debugging flow.

FAQ

Questions before you connect a device?

Which Mac is supported?

The current public release is built and validated for Apple Silicon Macs using the arm64 architecture.

Does Mobile Matrix control an Android phone?

Yes. It controls an authorized Android device connected through ADB, including live display, keyboard, touch, clipboard, screenshots, and device tools.

Is this the full STF server stack?

No. Mobile Matrix embeds a focused STF Lite runtime for local screen streaming and device input. It does not claim to be the full STF server stack.

Can I use Wi-Fi ADB?

The product includes ADB remote network debugging controls, but support depends on the Android device's wireless debugging mode and the configured endpoint.

Does it upload my screen to the cloud?

The public desktop workflow is local-first: the app communicates with the Android device through the local ADB connection.

Are Windows and Linux available?

Not as validated public release packages yet. The official download currently targets Apple Silicon macOS.
