About Adb Explorer
Adb Explorer is a Windows application that provides a graphical interface for ADB (Android Debug Bridge). It lets users browse, transfer, and edit files on connected Android devices. The app is built in WPF and uses a fluent-style interface. It is open source and released under the MIT license.
The app is limited to Windows and needs an Android device connected to the computer. Settings are kept in a settings.json file. Editing that file requires preserving its format, and any unrecognized entries are overwritten. Deleting the file restores default settings.
