SpiderADB is an user-friendly webapp for connecting to devices via the Android Debug Bridge, straight from a browser. The aim of this is to be kind of a swiss army knife that can be used from any platform, with minimal hassle, to do a number of advanced administration and debugging task on Android devices. These are the current features:

• Devices: Allows connecting new devices, shows a list of the paired ones, and lists basic useful information about various parts of the system.
• Terminal: Provides a basic terminal shell for inputting commands and reading their output. (Currently doesn't support any teletype features, so only basic commands can be run properly.)
• Packages: Displays a list of the currently installed packages, allowing for multiple to be uninstalled, and also allows uploading APK files for installation.

Here are some additional tips and tricks you might find useful to make the most out of this app:
