Mixdevice — One Platform for Every Mobile Device
Mixdevice is a modern mobile device platform that unifies iPhone, iPad, and Android management into a single, fast, and reliable experience. Built for mobile studios, QA teams, and app developers who are tired of juggling half a dozen vendor tools, Mixdevice replaces them with one seamless solution that works the same way on every desktop you own.
From a single connection, your team can see every device, capture every screen, move every file, and measure every frame — without cables being unplugged, without switching operating systems, and without waiting on slow, fragile vendor utilities.
Why Teams Choose Mixdevice
Mobile product teams waste hours each week fighting their tools: one utility for iPhones, another for Android, a third for screenshots, a fourth for performance capture, and yet another for location testing. Mixdevice brings all of that together into a clean, dependable workflow that just works.
What Mixdevice delivers
- One tool for iOS and Android — no more context-switching between Xcode, Android Studio, and five other apps.
- Works brilliantly on Windows — the missing piece for teams who prefer PC workstations but still need to test on iPhone and iPad.
- Instant device discovery — plug in, and every connected phone or tablet is ready within seconds.
- Rock-solid performance — engineered for studios that need to keep ten devices live at the same time.
- Friendly to every workflow — integrates with existing test farms, CI pipelines, and game engines.
- Safe and private — no hidden telemetry, no cloud dependency, no data leaving your workstation.
Core Features
1. Unified Device Dashboard
See every connected iPhone, iPad, and Android device in a single live list. Names, models, OS versions, and status indicators all appear instantly. Devices that go online or offline are tracked in real time, so automated scripts and dashboards always know what is connected.
2. One-Click Screen Capture
Grab crisp, full-resolution screenshots from any connected phone or tablet with a single click. Ideal for bug reports, store listings, marketing materials, visual regression tests, and in-the-moment sharing with teammates.
3. Fast and Reliable File Transfer
Push entire folders of assets, configuration bundles, test payloads, or media to your devices — and pull logs, saved games, and recordings back the other way. File transfers are streamlined for large volumes and resumable for long jobs.
4. Live Device Logs and Shell Access
Tail logs in real time while you reproduce an issue, or run a diagnostic command on an Android device directly from your desk. Perfect for narrowing down crashes, tracking performance spikes, and verifying configuration on the spot.
5. Smart Network Tunneling
Forward local ports to and from your devices so debug servers, preview builds, and hot-reload tools simply work — whether your team is using a corporate Wi-Fi network, a VPN, or a cellular hotspot. Mixdevice handles the plumbing so developers never have to.
6. Deep GPU Performance Insights
Mixdevice is one of the only tools in the industry that delivers deep, frame-level GPU performance data across all major mobile graphics hardware:
- Apple — full-resolution capture of Metal GPU activity from iPhones and iPads.
- Qualcomm Snapdragon — detailed timing of rendering stages on Adreno-powered Android phones.
- ARM Mali — continuous counter sampling so teams can see exactly where the GPU is spending its budget.
- Imagination PowerVR — scope-level events for devices that use PowerVR hardware.
These insights plug straight into popular analysis tools like Unreal Insights and Perfetto, giving game studios the same kind of visibility on mobile that console developers have always enjoyed.
7. App Launch, Control, and Automation
Launch apps, bring them to the foreground, send notifications, and keep a library of pre-configured test scenarios ready to go. Great for QA teams running regression suites and for developers who demo new builds to stakeholders every day.
8. GPS and Location Simulation
Send any coordinate in the world to a connected device and watch your app behave as if the user were really there. Essential for rideshare, navigation, delivery, dating, fitness, travel, and augmented-reality apps that need to be exercised across cities and continents without ever leaving the office.
9. Automated UI Interaction
Drive taps, swipes, and gestures from scripts so nightly test runs can exercise real apps on real devices. Keeps regressions out of your release builds and frees engineers from repetitive manual testing.
10. Modern Developer Mode Support
Fully supports the latest iPhone and iPad generations, including the newest iOS releases, so your team is never waiting for tooling to catch up after an Apple announcement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does Mixdevice require jailbreaking or rooting devices? No. Mixdevice works with stock retail iPhones, iPads, and Android phones. Users simply enable standard developer options on the device — the same toggle every app developer uses already.
Q: Can Mixdevice manage iPhones from a Windows PC? Yes. Mixdevice was built with Windows parity as a first-class priority. Teams can enjoy the full iPhone management experience without owning a Mac.
Q: Does Mixdevice upload any data to the cloud? No. Mixdevice runs entirely on your workstation. There is no telemetry, no hidden upload, and no account requirement — ideal for studios with strict privacy, compliance, or IP-protection requirements.
Q: How many devices can Mixdevice manage at once? Mixdevice is built for scale — individual developers typically work with one or two devices, while larger QA farms routinely drive dozens of phones and tablets simultaneously from a single machine.
Q: Does Mixdevice support the very latest iPhone and iOS versions? Yes. Mixdevice stays current with each new iOS release so teams can target the latest devices and features from day one.
Q: Is Mixdevice free for commercial use? Mixdevice is available under commercial licensing. Please contact MixStudio at mixstudio.tech to discuss terms for your team or studio.
