longarm is now available on Android through Google Play.
longarm turns an Android phone or tablet into a controllable remote endpoint for developers, testers, automation scripts, and AI agents. Start the built-in HTTP server, copy the device URL, and send API requests from another machine on the same local network.
Download longarm on Google Play.
What longarm Can Do
longarm exposes practical Android control through a REST API. You can send taps, swipes, long-presses, pinches, rotations, and two-finger swipes to exact screen coordinates.
It can also capture PNG screenshots, report screen width, height, and density, and show or hide a floating overlay button on the device.
Built for Real Device Automation
The app is useful when an emulator is not enough and a workflow needs a real Android screen. Use it to drive test flows, collect screenshots, operate an app from a desktop tool, or connect an AI agent to a physical device.
Setup stays visible: the home screen shows Accessibility Service, overlay permission, and HTTP server status. The docs tab lists the API endpoints and can copy the full API reference as Markdown.
Start Remote Control
longarm runs on your local network and does not require root. Install it from Google Play, enable the required Android permissions, start the server, and send your first request.
