Bugjaeger tries to give you the expert tools used by Android developers for better control and deep understanding of your Android device internals.
Multitool that can save you the hassle of carrying a laptop.
If you're an Android power user, developer, geek, or hacker, this app should be in your toolkit.
How to use 1.) Enable developer options and USB debugging on your target device (https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options)
2.) Connect the device where you've installed this app to the target device via USB OTG cable
3.) Allow app to access USB device and make sure target device authorizes USB debugging
Inspecting device internals, running shell scripts, checking logs, making screenshots, sideloading, and many more tasks that are normally done on your laptop can now be performed directly between 2 mobile devices.
This app works as sort of Android to Android ADB (Android Debug Bridge) - it offers some features similar to ADB (Android Debug Bridge), but instead of running on your development machine, it runs directly on your Android device.
You connect your target device through USB OTG cable or through WiFi and you'll be able to play around with the device.
You can control your Android TV, Wear OS watch, or even Raspberry Pi with Android Things OS and Oculus VR.
Main features - running shell scripts on target device - sideload regular/split APKs (e.g. to Oculus Quest VR) - sideload/flash AOSP images (e.g. Android Preview on Pixel) - remote interactive shell - TV remote controller - mirroring screen + remotely control with touch gesture - reading, filtering, and exporting device logs (logcat) - pull APK files - ADB backups, inspecting and extracting content of backup files - screenshots - performing various ADB commands for controlling your device (rebooting, going to bootloader, rotating screen, killing running apps, ...) - launch, force-stop, disable apps - uninstalling and installing packages, checking various details about installed apps - copying apps between phones - monitoring the processes, showing additional information related to processes, killing processes - get system properties - showing various details about Android version(e.g., SDK version, Android ID,..), Linux kernel, cpu, abi, display - showing battery details (like e.g., temperature, health, technology, voltage,..) - file management - pushing and pulling files from device, browsing the file system - search and connect to Android devices on your network that configured adbd to listen on port 5555 - reading bootloader variables & info via fastboot protocol (e.g. dump some hw info, security state, or if the device was tampered) - exec fastboot commands - show extensive system info
For some tricks and examples of what you can do, see https://www.sisik.eu/blog/tag:bugjaeger

Requirements - Enabled USB debugging in Developer options and authorise the development device - Fastboot protocol support

Recent changes: - Added CPU usage to processes tab and allow to monitor processes/apps with highest cpu usage - Added battery monitor that allows to find more information about battery and which apps potentially consume most - Improved the custom commands dialog ux and allowed fast custom command creation and also renaming of commands - Fixed too restrictive shell command output handling

Comments on Bugjaeger Mobile ADB - USB OTG for Android
★★★★☆Fastkash ye· May 14, 2026
it's really good to install apks on a watch (with Wear OS) and other devices too! You can also install mobile apps to other devices not having to install the apk
★★★★★Helton de Oliveira Rodrigues· Jul 17, 2026
This app provides good experience. The developer has been doing a great job. I just wanted to understand better all the commands, adb shell commands, fast boot commands, so I could enjoy it more. Congratulations on the app.
★★★★★charlie parsons· Oct 29, 2025
What a fantastic app. I have an old pixel 3axl that I used to play with and the bootloader was unlocked. I need it for work. Long story short my PC died and my Chromebook does not have the capability not run fast boot adb was found but no fast boot. I used Gemini and we tried everything. No go so finally. Gemini suggested this app and boom got it done in 2 seconds. Genius I tell you.

It's a virus and should not install the app at all. Google Play Store is selling junk now and not astounding knowing that Google craps on their partners as well. Google lies about it as well. Don't work with Google at all they lie and steal your ideas and your money as well. Google Play Store is a joke and selling junk apps. Tell Google security. Wait that is an oxymoron because Google has no security. It's not able to catch a cold let alone selling legitimate stuff on the play store. Junk
★★☆☆☆CR7FR· Jun 23, 2026
This app is very good for people who don't have computers, but I ran into a bad problem. When I want to flash an img file over 5 gb, it doesn't flash and says "sending sparse *partition* (0 kb) this problem is so annoying and bad, and I hope the devs fix it.
★☆☆☆☆Ron Grefiel· Aug 13, 2026
The ad helps interrupt the process because the client always disconnected every time the ads appear.
★★☆☆☆Daniel Hall· Feb 22, 2026
It would be awesome if you offered a feature like Shikoku does, where you can enter your pairing code in a notification window. ADB pairing process is not optimized on all devices, which makes it nearly impossible to connect your phone to the app, as the background ADB process dies whenever you bring Bugger to foreground.
