Memory and skills

An agent that picks up where you left off. Keep useful context, return to past conversations, and turn a completed task into a reusable skill.

Android control

Your apps. A new way to use them. The agent reads the screen, taps, swipes, and types. Just say what you want to do.

It comes back on its own

Set it and it checks in. The agent schedules its own wake-ups, ends the turn, and returns when the timer fires. Rider checks, chunked recordings, anything that needs a later look.

It gets better at your phone

Every task teaches it something. After a run it scores its own rounds, keeps the shortest path, and saves it as a skill. The next time is faster.

The little things. Thought through. For the follow-ups, the next task, and everything that happens after hello.

Work on a schedule

Manage check-ins and scheduled runs from Telegram with /checkins and /cron.

Pick up a conversation

List past sessions, resume your work, or start fresh when you need a clean slate.

Remember what matters

Save a fact with /remember and keep useful context across conversations.

Teach it a skill

Use /learn to create a skill from the last turn, then browse the collection with /skills.

Stop or try again

Cancel a running turn, retry the last message, or see what is waiting in the queue.

See what happened

Inspect agent status, tool activity, and transcripts directly in the Android app.

Change the model

Adjust your provider, model, or reasoning effort to suit the work you have in mind.

Keep a window open

Use /mirror to watch and control your phone over your LAN or Tailscale.

Choose who can ask

Set Allowed ids to your Telegram user ID. The bot ignores accounts outside that list.

Getting started

A real agent. On your own Android. Install the app, connect your Telegram bot, and give your phone its first task.

asterdroid / quick startFull guide ↗
  1. Install the latest APK.

    Download from GitHub Releases and grant the requested permissions.

  2. Create your Telegram bot.

    Use @BotFather, then paste its token into asterdroid’s settings.

  3. Choose a model provider.

    Add your API key, or connect a local server. Save and start the agent.

Still experimental. Runs on Android 8.0 and up on arm64 devices and needs broad device permissions. Cloud models receive the context sent to them. The agent starts in a mode that announces external actions and proceeds; use /mode to change it.

A little more done.
A little less tapping.
