ADB Control
Control other Android devices over Wi-Fi: shell, screen mirroring and screenshots
About the app
ADB Control is an ADB client that runs on a phone. It connects to other Android devices over Wi-Fi, either through the built-in Wireless debugging (Android 11 and later) or classic ADB over TCP. No computer, root access or cables are needed.
The app handles pairing by code or QR, discovers devices on the network automatically and reconnects with one tap from the connection history. On top of that it offers a remote shell with slash-command shortcuts such as /apps, /battery or /logcat, live screen mirroring with touch control, device keys, and screenshots saved straight to the gallery. Several devices can be connected at the same time.

Questions about the app
What does the target device need?
Wireless debugging has to be enabled in the developer options, and both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi network.
Is root access required?
No. The app uses standard Android wireless debugging or ADB over TCP, so neither device needs root.
