In their own words
DeviceFarmer
DeviceFarmer is a free, self-hosted web application for remotely debugging real smartphones, smartwatches, and other devices through a browser. It provides real-time screen viewing, rotation, keyboard input, copy and paste, multitouch, drag-and-drop APK installation, shell commands, logs, file browsing, and remote ADB connections. With adb connect, users can run local ADB commands or work in Android Studio and other IDEs while viewing the device online. Inventory tools show connection status, availability, hardware specifications, battery health, searchable attributes, and current users. Administrators can assign device sets to projects or organizations indefinitely, or book devices for users for limited periods. DeviceFarmer includes a REST API with OAuth 2.0 authentication, Prometheus metrics, Appium support, and Chrome remote debugging. Listed support covers Android 2.3.3 through 15, Wear 5.1, Fire OS, CyanogenMod, and other Android-based distributions. Installation uses NPM or Docker; Linux or BSD is suggested for production.
