🚀 I built Synkin — a free, open-source npm CLI that lets you preview localhost websites directly on your Android device over USB.
I built it because I was tired of:
- Setting up local IPs every time
- Connecting both devices to the same Wi-Fi
- Running into localhost/backend API issues while testing
With Synkin, just connect your Android phone via USB and run:
synkin run
That's it. Your website opens automatically in Chrome, and backend APIs continue to work using ADB Reverse.
Features
- ⚡ One-command setup
- 📱 Real Android device testing
- 🔌 USB connection (no Wi-Fi required)
- 🌐 Backend API support
- 🚀 Supports React, Vite, Next.js, Express, FastAPI, Flask, Django & Static HTML
The project has already crossed 850+ npm installs, and I'm ac
tively improving it based on community feedback.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, feature requests, or contributions!
