adbnik 0.7.1

Adbnik — ADB device workspace: shell, APK install, SSH, serial, files, USB screen (PyQt5 desktop).

Adbnik

Adbnik is a PyQt5 desktop app for Android and remote workflows: ADB shells and shortcuts, SSH terminals, serial consoles, file transfer (device, SFTP, FTP), and launching screen mirroring (e.g. scrcpy) from one tabbed window.

Third-party tools (adb, ssh, scrcpy) are not bundled—install them separately and point to them in File → Preferences if they are not on your PATH.

Features

Area	What you get
ADB	Device list, shell tabs, APK install flow, bookmarks, quick commands
SSH	Full-screen terminal using your system OpenSSH client
Serial	COM port + baud in the UI
Files	Local ↔ remote browser (Android / SFTP / FTP)
Screen	Start and manage mirroring with your chosen executable

---

Requirements

• Python 3.9+ (64-bit recommended on Windows)
• Android: USB debugging; platform-tools (adb) available to that Python environment
• SSH: ssh on PATH (or configured the same way your shell finds it)
• Mirroring: scrcpy or another tool, on PATH or set in Preferences
• Serial: Port visible to the OS with a suitable driver

---

Install

Use one Python interpreter for both pip and launch (avoids broken entry points on Windows):

py -m pip install --upgrade pip
py -m pip install adbnik
py -m adbnik

With a specific interpreter:

"C:\Path\To\Python\python.exe" -m pip install adbnik
"C:\Path\To\Python\python.exe" -m adbnik

---

First launch

1. Run python -m adbnik from the environment where the package is installed.
2. Set ADB / scrcpy paths under File → Preferences if needed.
3. Open the Terminal, Files, or Screen areas from the main tabs.

Configuration is stored in a .adbnik.json file under your user profile. Older .devicedeck.json settings are migrated when you save preferences.

Development

git clone https://github.com/nvnkennedy/adbnik.git
cd adbnik
py -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate
py -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
py -m pytest tests -q
py -m adbnik

---

Troubleshooting

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'adbnik' — Install with the same python.exe you use to run the app:

"C:\Path\To\Python\python.exe" -m pip install --force-reinstall adbnik
"C:\Path\To\Python\python.exe" -m adbnik

On Windows, list interpreters with py -0p.
