Open source · Alpha v0.1

Take your devices
to the cloud.

Spin up virtual iOS & Android devices and control them straight from your browser — live screen streaming, shell access, logs, and reusable images. Runtimes stay on your infrastructure.

Everything in one dashboard
 

One workspace for every virtual device.

 

From creating a runtime to inspecting network traffic — OpenDeviceCloud puts the whole
      device lifecycle behind a single, fast web interface.

 
 
 
 
 📱 
 
Create & manage
 
Boot, stop, reboot, and delete virtual iOS and Android devices from one dashboard.
 
 
 🖥️ 
 
Live workspace
 
Stream the screen in real time with hardware controls, taps, swipes, and instant screenshots.
 
 
 🐚 
 
Deep debugging
 
Run shell commands, inspect syslogs, list apps, and review network traffic without leaving the page.
 
 
 💾 
 
Reusable images
 
Import prepared images or snapshot a stopped iOS device into a reusable image in one click.
 
 
 🔌 
 
Your infrastructure
 
Connect trusted hosts as device agents so VMs and emulators run on hardware you control.
 
 
 🤖 
 
Built for agents
 
An MCP server exposes every device action — let AI agents create, drive, and test devices for you.

A real workspace, not a viewer
 

Drive devices like they're on your desk.

 

Open a device and you get a live, interactive session: tap and swipe the screen, press
        hardware buttons, push files, install apps, and grab screenshots — all over a secure
        WebSocket proxy that keeps your runtimes private.

Platform status
 
Honest about where we are.
 

OpenDeviceCloud is alpha software. Here's exactly what works today.

 
 
  
 
 

iOS

 
Supported alpha
 
 

Runs on an Apple Silicon Mac with a built vphone-cli
checkout. Create fresh images, boot devices, stream the screen, and snapshot back to
        reusable images.

 
     
  • ▸ Screen streaming & control
    •  
  • ▸ Image create / import / snapshot
    •  
  • ▸ Shell, logs & app management
    •  
 
  
 
 

Android

 
Work in progress
 
 

Built on the local emulator and adb tooling. Core
        device control is landing — expect rough edges while the runtime matures.

 
     
  • ▸ Emulator-based runtime
    •  
  • ▸ adb command bridge
    •  
  • ▸ Tracking toward parity with iOS
    •  
 
 
 
 
 
 
Up and running in minutes
 

Clone, set up, go. 
 

One monorepo, one command. make dev starts the Django
      backend and the React dashboard together and migrates the database for you.

 
 
  
 
    bash 
 
# Requirements: uv · Python 3.12+ · Node.js + npm
$ git clone https://github.com/stgstate/opendevicecloud
$ cd opendevicecloud

# Install backend, frontend & agent deps
$ make setup

# Start backend + frontend together
$ make dev
→ backend  http://127.0.0.1:8000
→ frontend http://127.0.0.1:5173
 
  
     
  1.   1  
     
    Install the toolchain
     
    You'll need uv, Python 3.12+, and Node.js with npm.
     
     
  2.   2  
     
    Run the dashboard
     
    make dev boots the API and the web UI together.
     
     
  3.   3  
     
    Connect a device agent
     
    Point a trusted host at the backend so runtimes stay on your hardware.
     
     
    4.
