Control multiple Android phones from one PC
In short: To control many Android phones from one PC, connect them by USB or Wireless debugging and use software that shows every screen at once. BenchFleet puts every phone on one screen and takes control of any of them in one click; on paid plans it repeats the same steps on many phones. Watching and controlling are free for 3 phones.
BenchFleet is a desktop app that puts every Android phone you connect on one screen, live, and lets you take control of any of them with your mouse and keyboard. It is made for people who look after many phones: app testers, device labs, support desks and teams that run Android devices.
Free for up to 3 phones, with no account. Pro adds workflows, schedules and AI for up to 25 phones from £12 a month + VAT.
Every phone on one screen
Each phone is a tile with its screen, its name, its connection and its mode: Auto, Manual or Paused. Anything that needs you shows in red. The phones in view stream live and the rest refresh as pictures, so a fleet of hundreds of phones stays fast.
- Health at a glance: battery, charging, temperature, storage, memory, the app in front and the connection.
- Organise: groups by hand or by rule, pins, filters and saved views.
- Wallboard: the whole fleet full screen on a second display.
Take control of any phone in one click
Click a phone and your mouse, keyboard and clipboard work on it. The page always says whether you are in control, and Release control hands the phone back. Everything else you need is on the same page:
- Files: drag and drop to copy files to and from the phone.
- Apps: install an APK, and open, stop or uninstall apps.
- Logs and terminal: logcat, and a terminal with a restricted set of commands.
- Screenshots and screen recordings: kept in the Library.
Pop out puts a phone's page, with all its tools, in a window of its own.
Connect phones by cable or Wi-Fi
BenchFleet talks to phones through Android's own debugging connection, so they need no rooting. Turn on Developer options on each phone (Settings, About phone, tap Build number seven times), then connect it:
- By cable: turn on USB debugging, plug the phone in and tap Allow on the phone.
- Over Wi-Fi (Android 11 and newer): turn on Wireless debugging and scan the pairing code the app shows.
- By address: enter the address of a phone that already listens on your network.
Each phone appears on the Fleet page within seconds; connecting phones has the details. With many phones, a powered USB hub or Wi-Fi keeps the cables manageable.
Do the same thing on many phones Pro
Watching and controlling phones works on every plan. When the same job has to happen on every phone, Pro does it for you:
- Group actions: install an app, launch it, reboot or take screenshots on a whole group at once.
- Broadcast: mirror your taps and typing on one phone to the others.
- Workflows and schedules: record a task once, run it on one phone or a hundred at set times, and replay any run step by step.
- AI with your own model: give a goal, and an AI works through the phones with the same tools and limits you have.
Every feature is listed with the plan it needs.
Built for a fleet, not one phone
scrcpy, Vysor and Microsoft Phone Link are good ways to show a phone on a computer. With a dozen phones, though, you get a dozen windows and no overview. BenchFleet keeps every phone on one screen with its health and its groups, records every action in an audit log, and can automate the work when you are ready. Under the hood it streams the screens with scrcpy's open-source server (open-source licences). For one phone, see how to control an Android phone from a PC and scrcpy for many phones; already using AirDroid or Vysor, see the AirDroid and Vysor alternative.
One stuck phone stays one: a phone that is unplugged or stops answering in the middle of a job does not hold up the others. The test suite runs the Hub with 1,000 simulated phones, unplugging phones in the middle of jobs, and the hardware tests run on 17 real phones (how BenchFleet is tested). With the Team plan, phones on other computers join the same fleet through gateways.
Who uses it
- App testers who run the same checks on many phones: see Android app testing on real phones. If you rent phones from a cloud service today, see BenchFleet as a BrowserStack alternative.
- Device labs and support desks that keep phones charged and ready, and take over the one a colleague asks about.
- Teams that share a fleet across people and computers, with roles, scoped permissions and approvals on the Team plan.
Questions
Can I control several Android phones at the same time?
Yes. Every connected phone is a live tile on the Fleet page, and one click takes control of any of them. With the Pro plan you can also install an app, launch it, reboot or take screenshots on a whole group at once, or mirror what you do on one phone to the others.
Do the phones need to be rooted?
No. BenchFleet uses Android's own debugging connection, which every Android phone has. Turn on USB debugging or Wireless debugging in the phone's Developer options and connect it by cable or over Wi-Fi.
Which computers and phones does it work with?
Windows 10 or 11, Macs with Apple silicon, and 64-bit Linux (Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 13 or newer). Android 8 or newer works best. iPhones are not supported.
How many phones can I connect?
The app has no limit on phones. Your plan sets how many are shown and controlled at once, 3 on Free, 25 on Pro and no limit on Team, and the others stay in your fleet with their names and health.
Can I control the phones from somewhere else?
The phones connect by USB or Wi-Fi to the computer that runs BenchFleet. With Pro or Team you can use it from a browser on another device over your own network or a VPN, and Team connects phones attached to other computers through gateways.
Is it free?
Yes, for up to 3 phones at a time, with no account and no time limit. Pro and Team add workflows, schedules, AI with your own model and more phones.
Can I control phones that are not connected to my computer?
BenchFleet controls the phones connected to the computer it runs on, by USB or over your Wi-Fi network. On the Team plan, gateways bring in phones attached to other computers, and with Pro or Team you can use the app from a browser on another device over your own network or VPN.
