BlackWire
BlackWire is a full-stack enterprise Android remote management and automation platform that provides silent, full control over fleets of Android devices. It consists of a web dashboard, a FastAPI backend, and a headless Android agent that can be deployed as a standalone APK or bound into existing APK, XAPK, or APKM bundles. The platform enables real-time device monitoring, remote screen viewing and control, shell access (including Termux and Shizuku ADB), hidden virtual display (HVNC) streaming, full-screen WebView push, and sleep/wake functionality via Firebase Cloud Messaging. An integrated AI assistant allows natural language commands for device and admin operations, such as taking screenshots, sending SMS, toggling system settings, and creating automation tasks. The dashboard offers live status updates, advanced search, hardware metrics, a world map, and an activity timeline. Twenty-four data-collection modules—covering SMS, contacts, notifications, input tracking, keyboard capture, file scanning, and more—can be toggled globally or per device. Automation is supported through an accessibility scripting DSL, a command queue, and integration with Termux and Python. The Build Center lets administrators generate custom APKs with the agent embedded, choosing features like WebRTC streaming. BlackWire is designed for stealthy, large-scale device management, making it suitable for enterprise mobility, security testing, and automated device farms.
