What is adbt?

adbt is a modern, keyboard-driven Terminal User Interface (TUI) for interacting with Android devices using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB).

It provides a structured and interactive alternative to raw adb commands, focusing on clarity, correctness, and real-time device interaction entirely from the terminal.

Why adbt?​

Unlike standard ADB, which requires chaining multiple bash commands to perform simple actions (like filtering logs or launching packages), adbt gives you a visual toolkit that stays entirely inside your terminal workflow.

  • Fast: Built in Go using Charm’s Bubble Tea framework.
  • Efficient: Zero context switching. Keyboard-centric interface heavily inspired by Vim.
  • Modern: Real-time graphs for performance monitoring, dynamic UI components, and instant feedback.
