Roadmap

A phone that feels like it’s on your desk

Use a rented phone whichever way suits you, in the same session:

In the browser: the live screen with touch and keyboard, drag-and-drop APK install, Logcat and file transfer. Nothing to install.
In Android Studio and your own tools: pocketshare connect puts the phone in adb devices, so Android Studio mirrors it and you can debug, read Logcat and run Appium, Maestro, Espresso or scrcpy.
From the command line and API: search, rent, connect and stop from a terminal or CI, like Vast’s CLI.
From AI coding agents: an MCP server lets agents rent a phone within a spending limit, install your app, take screenshots, tap through it and read Logcat.

Your own app

Install and debug your own APK during a session, on a phone that’s cleaned before and after.

The phones you can’t find elsewhere

Hosts will be recruited for the phones developers ask for: less common brands, budget Android Go devices, and specific model and Android version combinations. You’ll be able to request a model that isn’t listed yet.

Long-running jobs

Unattended 24–72 hour runs on a chosen phone, with a report on how the phone’s software treated your app: background kills, delayed jobs and alarms, and battery drain.

Paying for sessions

Pay only for what you use, from a prepaid credit balance, with no subscription or minimum session: phone time is billed per minute at each phone’s hourly rate, plus bandwidth per GB. Billing will start only once the phone is connected and usable.

What PocketShare won’t offer

Access to a host’s SIM card, phone number, texts or calls; reselling a host’s home or mobile internet connection; accounts that persist between sessions; and multi-account or engagement operations.
