Mika

by wangzan101

Mika is an Android app that carries out one-sentence requests on your phone by operating other apps and websites for you. It works on a hidden background screen, so you can keep using your phone while it runs.

Hidden gemMika is an Android agent that operates any installed app on a hidden background screen, with a built-in browser, scheduled tasks and a local Linux sandbox. It is bring-your-own-key with no backend server, and it has detailed docs, tests, an eval folder and community-editable per-app knowledge files. Best for android users who want an AI to run app tasks in the background.
New and promisingUnder two months old. Expect rough edges and fast changes.

What you can do with it

  • Ask it to summarise a busy group chat or a social media account's recent posts
  • Schedule recurring or conditional tasks, such as checking the weather each morning and only alerting you if it rains
  • Run batch web tasks, such as searching job listings and sending greetings, with pauses between actions

Make money with it

A freelancer could offer phone-based admin or social media monitoring and summarising services, using Mika to do the repetitive work.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • Automate repetitive app and web chores, such as checking messages, summarising group chats or monitoring listings, to save staff time
  • Run routine outreach or posting tasks on platforms that have no API, with approval prompts before any spending

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Getting it running

Download and install the APK from GitHub Releases, pair Android's wireless debugging once through the in-app guide, then add a model API key.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • Public beta that changes quickly and has mainly been tested on one Android 14 phone
  • Automating third-party apps may breach their terms of service and risk account restrictions or bans
  • Needs your own paid model API key (or a ChatGPT Plus/Pro login)
  • Autonomous mode can make payments without asking
  • Tasks need Android 13 or later and the sandbox only works on arm64 devices
  • Setup needs wireless debugging, and the README and app are mainly in Chinese, with English available

Worth a look
