Developer creates Flipper alternative DroidLens, enabling SDK-free Android inspection

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A developer has created DroidLens, an open-source Android inspector that functions without requiring an SDK, addressing the archival of Meta's Flipper tool. DroidLens operates via ADB alone, allowing it to inspect any application on a device, including its network logs, database, and view hierarchy. The tool also features an MCP server that enables AI agents, such as Claude Code, to interact with and test devices, saving verified flows as replayable YAML scenarios. AI

IMPACT Enables AI agents to directly interact with and test Android applications, potentially streamlining development and QA processes.
