Oh My Android

Oh My Android

Test your Android app in dark mode, big fonts, RTL and TalkBack: one click each, no adb commands.

A free, native ADB GUI for Mac that docks next to the Android Emulator. Works with real phones too.

Dark mode, font size, Arabic RTL, incoming SMS and call. Each is one click.

Install

brew install --cask ateymoori/tap/oh-my-android

Or the signed, notarized zip from Releases · macOS 26 Tahoe+ · Apple silicon · uses the Android SDK you already have ( details ) · ⭐ star to help more Android devs find it

• 🎛️ Nearly 50 test actions, always visible. Dark mode, font and display size, language and locale incl. RTL and pseudo-locales, TalkBack, bold text, layout bounds, show taps, animations off, network speed, GPS, incoming call and SMS. Each icon shows the device's real state.
• 📐 Layout Inspector in dp, for any app. Hover a view to see its size and the gaps around it in dp, for Compose and Views alike. Drop your Figma export on top to compare design and build. ⇧⌘A numbers the TalkBack stops and flags missing labels and touch targets under 48 dp.
• 🗄️ Your debug build, without adb. Read SharedPreferences and SQLite, clear data, open deep links, drag an APK to install, reset permissions.
• 🪶 Native and light. SwiftUI, event-driven, no Electron, no telemetry. Free and open source (MIT).

Why not just Android Studio? Studio's Device UI shortcuts already give one-click dark mode, font size,

app language and TalkBack (API 33+). Use them when Studio is open. Oh My Android adds one always-visible panel

for emulators *and* phones that works with Studio closed, toggles the shortcuts don't have (bold text,

pseudo-locales, layout bounds, show taps, animations), and dp measurements on any app, where Studio's

Layout Inspector needs a debuggable one. Compared with Studio, scrcpy and mobile-mcp: docs/COMPARISON.md.

🤖 Using Claude Code, Codex or Cursor? The app ships an MCP server (18 tools) so your agent can

screenshot the emulator in dp, tap, and switch dark mode or RTL. Set it up →

Features

Destructive actions (Clear data, Uninstall, Reset permissions) ask before they run.

Updates and requirements

Besides Homebrew, you can download the zip from the latest release, unzip it, and move Oh My Android.app to Applications. The app is signed and notarized by Apple.

Updates: when a new version is out, a dot shows on the menu bar icon. Click Update to … in the menu, read what's new, and install in one click. The app never updates without asking. It checks once a day; turn it off in Settings → Updates. brew upgrade --cask oh-my-android works too.

Requirements: macOS 26 Tahoe or later, Apple silicon, and the Android SDK from Android Studio (or brew install --cask android-commandlinetools). The app finds the SDK by itself. If yours is in an unusual folder, pick it in Settings → Android SDK.

No more adb commands

Every icon replaces a command you would otherwise type or search for:

Layout Inspector

Freeze the screen and measure it like in Figma. Works with Jetpack Compose and classic Views.

• Hover any element to see its size in dp. Click one, hover another, and see the distance between them (gaps between siblings, paddings inside a parent).
• 8 dp grid, color picker (hex, ⇧⌘C to copy), and an estimated text size in sp.
• Design overlay: drop a Figma PNG export on the window, choose 1× / 2× / 3× or Fit width, set the opacity or use Difference blend, and nudge it with the arrow keys. Compare design and build pixel by pixel.

Accessibility audit

Press ⇧⌘A in the Layout Inspector. Every screen-reader stop gets a number in approximate TalkBack order, with what TalkBack announces and a list of problems: unlabeled buttons, images without a content description, and touch targets smaller than 48 × 48 dp.

Data Inspector

Browse the SharedPreferences (key, type, value) and SQLite databases (tables, first 500 rows) of any debuggable app, with search. It uses adb shell run-as, the same access Android Studio uses, so release builds stay closed. It is read-only: nothing on the device changes.

AI agents (MCP)

Oh My Android includes an MCP server, so your AI coding agent can see and drive the emulator: screenshot, read the UI tree in dp, tap and type, switch to dark mode or RTL, read logcat and the app's database. The agent can build a screen, run it, look at the result, and fix it by itself.

The buttons use the Homebrew path /opt/homebrew/bin/ohmyandroid-mcp. With the zip install, use the menu bar setup below.

Set up in one step: menu bar icon → AI Agents → Set Up…, choose your agent, click Copy (or Add to Cursor / Add to VS Code). Or by hand:

claude mcp add --scope user oh-my-android -- ohmyandroid-mcp   # Claude Code

codex mcp add oh-my-android -- ohmyandroid-mcp # Codex CLI gemini mcp add --scope user oh-my-android ohmyandroid-mcp # Gemini CLI

{ "mcpServers": { "oh-my-android": { "command": "/Applications/Oh My Android.app/Contents/MacOS/ohmyandroid-mcp" } } }

The JSON works in Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Gemini CLI and other agents (VS Code uses "servers"). Homebrew puts ohmyandroid-mcp on your PATH. With the zip install, use the full path above.

Other ways to add it:

• Claude Code plugin: /plugin marketplace add ateymoori/oh-my-android, then /plugin install oh-my-android@oh-my-android
• Claude Desktop extension: open oh-my-android- .mcpb from the latest release
• MCP Registry: listed as io.github.ateymoori/oh-my-android

You stay in control: menu bar icon → AI Agents → *Off*, *Read only* or *Full control*. The server checks it on every call, so a change applies at once. Tools that can lose data are marked destructive, so your agent asks you first.
