What is it?

Tango is a TypeScript re-implementation of the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) client. It lets you talk to Android devices directly from a Chromium-based browser, including Chrome for Android, as well as from Node.js and Electron applications.

Because the client runs in the browser and uses the WebUSB API, you can connect a phone or tablet over USB without installing a separate ADB binary on the host. The project also publishes packages under the @yume-chan namespace on npm, so the ADB client can be embedded in other JavaScript tools.

The project is hosted with documentation at tangoadb.dev and includes a demo web app at tangoapp.dev.

Key features

  • 01Runs ADB client logic in Chromium browsers via WebUSB.
  • 02Works in Node.js and Electron as well as the browser.
  • 03Published as reusable npm packages under @yume-chan.
  • 04Written in TypeScript.

Use cases

  • Debugging an Android device from a web page without installing ADB locally.
  • Embedding an ADB client in a Node.js or Electron tool.
  • Building browser-based device management or testing dashboards for Android.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Open the live web app in a Chromium-based browser

  2. 2

    Read the latest documentation

  3. 3
