Tether puts your own Android phone on a timeline in the browser. Drive it live, record a flow the way you would edit a clip, run it on a schedule across the phones on your desk, and every screen it passes becomes a row in a sheet.
Android first, over USB debugging. iOS later. See the plans
No code and no device jargon on the surfaces you use every day. The phone is the hero; the interface stays out of its way.
Phones are the set, flows are the script, runs are takes, and sheets are what you keep. Here is what one studio does between breakfast and the next morning.
Record once on one phone: every tap, swipe and word becomes a clip. Run it on three. It stops at the draft, on purpose, so you press Post. Caption and hashtags are variables you fill per phone.
Open the app, take a screenshot, ask AI one question about the screen. The answer lands in a sheet with the screenshot beside it. AI steps run on your own key; at the current Haiku prices a step like this costs a fraction of a cent.
Grab data reads the screen's own structure, not pixels, so a column survives a layout shift. Scroll, grab, scroll, grab; duplicates are merged. Export CSV or send every row to a webhook as it arrives.
| Name | Developer | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Lumen Photo | Northwind Labs | 4.6 |
| Pocket Retouch | Harbor Apps | 4.4 |
| Grain and Tone | Studio Ferro | 4.7 |
Every step keeps a screenshot, the text on screen and the time. Team plans keep a recording of each run and an audit log of who ran what, with owner, admin, member and viewer roles so the intern can watch without driving.
Put a flow on a schedule and pick the phones. If a phone is locked or asleep the run says so in words and the rest carry on. Sharing a template by link, and remixing someone else's, is on the way with the Creator plan.
Three steps, in this order, about five minutes the first time.
Install the agent on the computer the phones plug into
One command, shown with a pairing code when you sign in. macOS and Linux today.

Android asks for it once, in Developer options. The studio walks you through it in plain words, no jargon.
Plug in and tap Allow
The phone appears live. Over USB today; wireless debugging is on the way.
It drives phones and accounts you own. It does not spoof device identity, fake a location, or warm up accounts, and it will not. The posting template stops at the draft so you press Post. Some apps' terms restrict automated use; read them before you schedule a flow.
A small base per plan plus a few dollars per connected phone. AI is on your own key, so you never pay us for tokens. Annual billing is two months free.
