The Agency for Agentic Android
Build your own Android harness.
A harness is a rig: one Android device, one cable, one host machine, and the discipline to drive them repeatably — for testing, for automation, for learning what your phone is actually doing.Android Harness is the definitive, device-tested guide to setting one up yourself — and the agency that profiles the harnesses worth knowing.

What is an Android harness?
The Android Harness desk · Nov 9, 2026
The four-component rig — device, cable, host, discipline — that lets you drive an Android phone programmatically and repeatably, and why builders roll their own.
Device-tested
Every procedure is run on real hardware before it is published, and every claim cites its source inline. Unknowns are printed as unknowns.
Reversible by default
The early skills are read-only inspection and one-toggle settings. Nothing touches your data, nothing you cannot undo.
Independent
No sponsors, no affiliate links. Outbound links go only to the harnesses on the roster, each profiled in full.
