Physical devices
Real Android phones, hosted by MAS
Cloud devices run on virtual Android. Physical devices are real phones in a rack we run, controlled from the same studio, for the apps that only behave on real hardware. They are not available yet. Join the waitlist and you hear first, before any public announcement.
- Real hardware
- Same macros and SDK
- Same MCP tools
- Runs with your PC off
Why a real phone
Some apps check for real hardware before they let you in. A physical device gives them exactly that, with nothing else about your setup changing.
Real hardware, not virtual
A phone with its own chip, sensors, battery and radio. Apps that refuse virtual devices see an ordinary handset.
Nothing new to learn
It appears in the device list next to your emulators and cloud devices. The same macros, the same Python SDK, the same MCP tools, with no changes to what you already built.
Runs while you are away
Hosted in our rack with a live screen you can watch, so a macro or MAS Agent keeps running with your own PC off, the way a cloud device does today.
Scales the same way
Add physical devices to device groups, give each its own settings and schedule, and run one macro across all of them.
How it will work
The plan follows cloud devices step for step, because that flow already works.
- 1
Pick a physical device
Add it from the same place you add a cloud device. It boots, appears in your device list, and streams its screen to the studio.
- 2
Run what you already have
Marketplace bots, MAS Agent macros and your own Python scripts run on it unchanged. The macro taps a real screen instead of a virtual one.
- 3
Leave it running
Schedule it, put it in a group, and watch the logs from anywhere. Stop and resume keep the device and its data.
Where we are
We are building this now. Here is what is settled and what is not, so nobody has to guess.
Settled
- Real Android phones in a rack we operate ourselves.
- Managed from the studio like a cloud device: live screen, logs, device groups, scheduler.
- The same macros, SDK and MCP tools. It is a new device type, not a separate product.
Not decided yet
- Pricing. It will be a per-device monthly add-on like cloud devices, but the number is not set.
- Regions. Where the first phones are hosted is open; the waitlist tells us where the demand is.
- Launch date. There is no date to give yet. The waitlist gets the first invitations.
