It is for people who ship Android apps: check a device, read its log, install a build or move a file without retyping commands or tracking serial numbers. **Features** * Live device dashboard with Android version, API level, battery, resolution, density and IP address * Logcat viewer with a 50,000-line buffer and filters for priority, tag, text and package * App manager: launch, force-stop, clear data, uninstall, install APKs by drag and drop, extract base and split APKs * Device file explorer: drag-and-drop push, pull to Downloads, new folder, rename, delete * Screenshots and screen recordings of up to 3 minutes per clip * Wireless debugging: Android 11+ pairing code, connect by IP, tcpip mode, saved devices for one-click reconnect * Interactive adb shell in a real terminal, with quick actions for navigation keys, rotation and display presets * Runs on x86-64 and ARM64 Linux **Snap notes** adb ships inside the snap, so nothing else needs installing. As a strictly confined snap it reaches USB devices only through an interface that must be connected once after install: `sudo snap connect adb-deck:adb-support` Then unplug and replug the phone if it was already connected. If it is still not detected, its USB vendor is probably missing from that interface's list; connect the broader one as well: `sudo snap connect adb-deck:raw-usb` Pulled files, screenshots and recordings go to folders in your home directory. To use them on removable drives as well: `sudo snap connect adb-deck:removable-media` Things that differ from a normal install: * The phone is asked to authorise this computer separately from any adb you run outside the snap. * Devices on the network are not discovered automatically; enter the address and port shown on the phone. * Screen mirroring needs scrcpy, which is not part of this snap. * The adb server keeps running after you close the window. Stop it with `adb-deck.adb kill-server`; `adb-deck.adb` is the same adb the app uses. MIT licensed.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install DroidDeck To install DroidDeck, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install adb-deck ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
