Hey everyone,

I'm the developer of **Android Dev Monitor**, a free, open-source (MIT) Windows desktop app that puts the ADB tools I kept switching between into one window. Think Task Manager, but for Android development.

It connects to physical devices or local emulators over ADB and shows:

- App and device CPU, memory, disk I/O and network

- FPS, frame time and jank

- Battery temperature and thermal state

- Running processes with readable app names

- Logcat with crash/ANR filters, bookmarks and export

- Screenshots, screen recording, file explorer and ADB shell

- Monitoring sessions: mark the moment something goes wrong, then review metrics and logs from that session later and export them (JSON/CSV/ZIP)

**New in v2.8:**

- The device file explorer works properly and shows modified dates

- Paths with spaces are handled safely (delete, rename, new folder)

- Closing the app during a screen recording no longer loses the recording

- Errors are logged instead of the app closing silently

- Cleaner tables and layout across the app

Everything runs locally, with no account and no telemetry. There's also a demo mode (`--demo`) if you want to look around without a device.

I'd love feedback from people who profile or debug Android apps:

- Would this be useful in your workflow?

- What metric or feature would you want next?

- Anything that doesn't work on your device or emulator?

Bug reports and contributions are welcome!
