AkaPhone documentation

AkaPhone runs real Android 14 systems in the cloud and hands them to you, or to your coding agent, as a tool. Each device is a full Android phone in its own container. You can watch its screen live in the browser, tap and type on it, install your own APKs, save its state as a snapshot, and give it plain-English tasks such as “Open Settings and turn on dark mode”.

Tasks are carried out by ARTEMIS, Google's open-source Android agent, running unmodified on the device host. It uses your own Gemini, Claude or OpenAI key. AkaPhone bills device time, not tokens.

Three ways to use it#

Five-minute tour#

1. Sign in at https://akaphone.abhgnx-417.workers.dev with Google. New accounts get 60 free credit minutes, which is 60 minutes of one running device. No card needed.

2. Create an API key on the API keys page. It starts with ak_live_ and is shown once.

3. Connect your agent. For Claude Code that is one command:

   ShellCopy

   claude mcp add akaphone \
     -e AKAPHONE_API_KEY=ak_live_... \
        -e MODEL_API_KEY=AIza... \
     -- npx -y akaphone-mcp

4. Ask for something. “Create a phone, open Settings > About phone and tell me the Android version. Then terminate it.”

5. Watch it in the dashboard while it runs, and check Usage afterwards to see the minutes it used.

Or skip the agent and do the same thing over HTTP:

curl -X POST https://akaphone.abhgnx-417.workers.dev/v1/devices \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AKAPHONE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "first-phone", "wait": true}'

const res = await fetch("https://akaphone.abhgnx-417.workers.dev/v1/devices", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.AKAPHONE_API_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ name: "first-phone", wait: true }),
});
const device = await res.json();
console.log(device.id, device.status); // dev_s6zr7mr4f2f1 running

import os, requests

r = requests.post(
    "https://akaphone.abhgnx-417.workers.dev/v1/devices",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['AKAPHONE_API_KEY']}"},
    json={"name": "first-phone", "wait": True},
)
device = r.json()
print(device["id"], device["status"])  # dev_s6zr7mr4f2f1 running
