Requires Android Studio, Elixir/Erlang, Docker, USB debugging, and an AI provider API key all configured together.
Omni is an experimental Android app that can look at your phone's screen and control it for you, tapping, typing, swiping, opening apps, and adjusting to whatever appears on screen as it works toward a goal you give it. It does this using Android's built-in Accessibility API, the same system that lets screen readers and other assistive tools interact with apps on your behalf. The project has two parts. One is a native Android app written in Kotlin, and the other is a self-hostable backend server written in Elixir using the Phoenix framework. In this community version, you run your own backend and supply your own AI provider key rather than relying on the project's own hosted service, so there is no need for Google sign-in, Google Play, Aptoide, Stripe, or any store subscription. To set it up, you need an Android 10 or newer phone or emulator with USB debugging turned on, Android Studio with a specific SDK and JDK version, Elixir and Erlang, Docker for running a PostgreSQL database, and an API key from one supported AI provider such as Gemini, Groq, OpenAI, or Anthropic. After cloning the project, you configure your chosen API key in an environment file, start the backend with Docker and Elixir's build tools, then build and install the Android app onto your connected phone, forwarding the backend's port over USB. Once installed, you open the app, grant it microphone and Accessibility permissions, and can then give it simple spoken or typed commands to try. The README is direct about safety limits. Because Omni can read your screen and control other apps, it warns against using it to automate passwords, banking, payments, or other sensitive login flows, and notes that its built in safeguard for sensitive apps is a helper, not a full security guarantee. It is described as alpha software, not distributed through Google Play, with a separate privacy document worth reading before using it with real data. Omni is released under the Apache License 2.0, which allows free use including commercial use, though the project's name and logo cannot be used to suggest an unofficial build is made or endorsed by the original project.
