AYA is a desktop application that provides a graphical interface for controlling Android devices through ADB.
The tool addresses the friction of working with Android devices from a desktop by wrapping ADB functionality in a user interface. Rather than typing command-line commands, developers and testers can interact with connected devices through visual controls. The application mirrors the device screen, manages files and applications, monitors processes and system metrics, inspects layouts, views logs, and provides an interactive shell—all from a single desktop window.
AYA suits developers and QA engineers who frequently interact with Android devices and prefer a graphical workflow over command-line tools. It works across Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it accessible regardless of development platform. The tool is most valuable for tasks that benefit from visual feedback, such as screen mirroring and layout inspection, or for workflows that involve rapid switching between multiple device management operations.
The project maintains active development with regular updates to its codebase and documentation. The maintainer responds to issues and pull requests, indicating ongoing engagement with the user base. Development is organized around a clear contribution guide, suggesting a structured approach to accepting external work. The tool is built on established technologies—Electron for the desktop framework and TypeScript for type safety—which are well-supported ecosystems.
