EspañolRemote access to an Android device
A remote Android phone you control from anywhere.
A real Android phone model running on our servers, reachable from your laptop, your CI or your AI agent: see its screen in the browser, send touches and keys, connect adb over the internet. No app on the phone, no port forwarding, no device left switched on at the office.
01 · How it works
Remote control in three steps.
Create the remote phone
Choose Android and the country. The phone boots on our servers in about a minute.
Open it from any device
Your browser shows the live screen; mouse and keyboard become touch and typing. Share it with teammates by role.
Connect your tools
adb connects over an encrypted relay with a one-time code; the REST API and Python SDK drive the phone from code; MCP hands it to an agent.
02 · What you get
What remote access covers.
Live screen and input
Video of the phone with touch, swipe, long press, hardware keys and clipboard paste.
ADB over the internet
Install, pull logs and run shell commands as if the phone were on your desk. IP allow-list, expiry, a full log of sessions.
API and MCP
Every action is a REST call; AI agents get observe and act tools over MCP.
Team access
Owner and operator roles, one account, many phones; a phone can be opened by several people.
A country per phone
The phone connects from the country you choose, with the matching time zone and language.
Runs as long as you need
Leave it on around the clock for at most $0.80 a day, or stop it and pay nothing.

Questions about remote Android phones
What is a remote Android phone?
An Android phone that runs somewhere else and that you control over the network: its screen, touches, apps and adb. On Clousd the phone runs on our servers and is built from a real phone model, so there is no physical device to set up or keep charged.
Can I connect adb to it?
Yes, over an encrypted relay with a one-time code and an IP allow-list. The steps are in Remote ADB.
Does it need an app on the phone?
No. The phone is ours; you connect from the browser, the API or adb.
How many people can use one phone?
The whole team under one account, with owner and operator roles. A phone's screen can be opened by several people.
Can I leave it on 24/7?
Yes. Pay as you go caps at $0.80 a phone a day; plans include phone minutes for exactly this.
