ADB Dock

Menu bar device manager for Android developers using AI agents

Problem
As AI coding agents become the primary interface, developers no longer open Android Studio but still need to connect, disconnect, and manage multiple devices frequently. Typing adb commands or launching the IDE breaks flow, especially while an agent is mid-task.
Solution
A macOS menu bar app that shows connected Android devices in real time, supports wireless pairing via code, one-click connect/disconnect, and keeps approved devices attached. Everything from the menu bar, no IDE needed.
Users
Solo developers and small teams building Android apps with AI coding agents like Claude Code or Cursor
MVP
Menu bar icon with live device list; wireless pairing code input UI; one-click connect/disconnect; common adb shortcuts (screenshot, install apk, restart adb); connection status notifications
Revenue
Free basic tier + one-time Pro license ($9.9) for multi-device rotation and automation triggers; or $2/month subscription
Why now
AI agents are replacing IDEs as the dev entry point, yet device management tools remain IDE accessories; a lightweight indie tool can own this gap
