Where Total Control fits
Total Control is a long-running Windows tool for showing and controlling Android phones from one PC, with low yearly licence prices, a free Lite edition for non-commercial use and APIs for people who write their own scripts. Sigma-RT describes it for Android testing, automation and demonstrations.
Why choose BenchFleet
- One app for every desktop system: Windows, macOS on Apple silicon and Linux.
- AI agents on the phones. Claude Code and Codex reach the phones you allow over MCP, each client with its own scope and access level, and BenchFleet's own AI tasks run with the model you choose, including local models. See let Claude Code or Codex control an Android phone.
- A person approves the risky steps. Payments, account-security changes, saved passwords and work on more than ten phones wait for someone with the right to approve, and agents stop at CAPTCHAs and sign-in checks.
- A record of every action, with who did it, in a hash-chained log.
- Automation without scripts. Record a task once, build it visually or write YAML, and replay any run step by step with screenshots.
- Several people on the same phones, with roles and permissions on Team.

Questions
What is an alternative to Total Control for many Android phones?
BenchFleet. Every connected phone is a live tile on one screen, any of them is yours in one click, and workflows, schedules and AI agents repeat the work on all of them. It runs on Windows, macOS on Apple silicon and Linux.
Does BenchFleet run on a Mac or Linux?
Yes. BenchFleet runs on Windows, macOS (Apple silicon) and Linux, so a team that is not all on Windows can use one app. Total Control's pages list Windows 7 to Windows 11.
