Native Android gestures
Gestures are dispatched through the system accessibility service, inside the device itself. There is no PC bridge and no remote command in the path, so the gap between deciding and tapping stays in the tens of milliseconds.
EmuloMobile
EmuloMobile runs inside Android itself. It captures the screen, looks for the image, text or color you marked, and taps on its own. No computer, no cable and no root: just the app and the system accessibility service.

No PC in the way
Automating Android usually means setting up a rig: turn on the PC, open the emulator, plug in a cable, authorize debugging. EmuloMobile cuts that out. It is an ordinary Android app, installed on the device you already use, and the whole automation happens right there.
The app is granted permission for two narrow jobs: capturing the screen image and sending taps. From there it compares what is on screen against the targets you cropped, and reacts. Because everything is local, there is no network latency and no dependency on a computer running on the other end.
That changes what you can do with it. A tablet sitting in a drawer becomes an automation machine, a spare phone runs the routine while you use your main one, and the same subscription that covers EmuloAgent on the PC covers the device.
Getting started
The whole process happens on the device, over the screen of the app you want to automate.
From Google Play on most devices. If the store marks your device as not compatible, there is the direct APK, a universal package that installs without depending on certification.
The accessibility service is what allows taps to be sent, and screen capture is what allows the app to recognize what is on screen. You grant both in the Android settings, and you can turn them off whenever you want.
Open the app you want to automate, capture the screen and crop the targets right there: the button, the icon, the number. Each step gets a condition, what must show up, and an action, what to do.
A control bubble sits on top of any screen, with start, pause and stop. You leave EmuloMobile, open the game or the app, and drive execution from there.
Under the hood
Running inside Android comes with its own rules. These are the pieces that make recognition and tapping happen with no PC and no root.
Gestures are dispatched through the system accessibility service, inside the device itself. There is no PC bridge and no remote command in the path, so the gap between deciding and tapping stays in the tens of milliseconds.
The app uses Android screen capture and, from version 11 on, also the silent capture offered by the accessibility service. Having both paths is what keeps recognition working on a regular device as well as on an emulator virtual screen.
The service is declared only for gestures and capture. It does not request the permission that would grant access to the internal structure of other apps, so it cannot see fields, messages or data beyond what is recognized in pixels.
Image matching, text reading and color checks all run on the device. The text reading model ships inside the app, which keeps recognition working even in environments without Google services, as is the case on many emulators.
Tap by coordinate, click on image, swipe, tap on text, system buttons, screenshot, variables, compound action and virtual keyboard. It is the same catalog as EmuloAgent, minus the actions that only make sense when the emulator is driven from outside.
Execution runs as a foreground service with an active notification, and the device runs one automation at a time. An automation can hand control to another one without you stepping in.

Privacy
The right question about an app that sees your screen is not whether it is safe in the abstract, but what exactly leaves the device. In EmuloMobile the answer is short: nothing captured from the screen leaves.
The captured image is used in memory for the comparison and discarded. The crops you create as targets are stored locally, next to the automation. What travels over the network is only what the account needs to work.
Two ways to install
These are two packages of the same app, with the same automation engine. What differs is how you install, how it updates and where the subscription is billed. On most devices, Google Play is the way.
| Google Play | Direct APK | |
|---|---|---|
| How you install | From the store, like any app | By downloading the package and installing it on the device |
| When to use it | The default for phones, tablets and certified emulators | When the store says the device is not compatible, the typical case with uncertified emulators |
| Updates | Automatic, through the store | The app checks for a new version and installs it on its own |
| Subscription | In the app, billed by Google Play | Through the web portal, the same path as EmuloAgent |
| Compatibility | Depends on the device being certified by Play Protect | Universal package, no certification required |
| Automation engine | Identical | Identical |
Both packages use the same signing key and can coexist on the same device. The account is the same either way.
Requirements and reach
The app is the same in any of these scenarios. What changes is the screen size and the resolution the targets are cropped at.
That is the minimum version. From Android 11 on, the extra silent capture path comes into play, used mostly while building.
There is no difference in behavior. An idle tablet is often the best candidate precisely because it is free to run the routine.
The same app installed in a BlueStacks, MuMu, LDPlayer or Nox instance automates what runs in there, with no Windows app in the loop.
No feature depends on privileged access. What the app uses are public Android permissions, granted by you and revocable at any time.
The device runs one automation at a time. To cover more targets simultaneously, use more than one device or instance.
Each device or emulator in use counts as one session. Plans start at three simultaneous mobile sessions and reach nine on Pro.
Questions
No. The accessibility service is declared only to inject gestures and capture the screen, without the permission that would grant access to the internal structure of other apps. Recognition happens on the screen image, and that image does not leave the device.
No. Every feature uses public Android permissions, granted by you in the settings and revocable at any time.
Android 9 or later. On Android 11 or later, the app gains an additional silent screen capture path, used mostly while building automations.
That usually happens on emulators that are not certified by Play Protect. The refusal comes from device certification, not from the app. For those cases there is the direct APK, a universal package that installs normally and updates itself.
Yes, and it is a common setup. The app installed inside the instance automates what happens in it. If you would rather drive the emulator from outside, on Windows, and run several instances at once, EmuloAgent is the way.
Yes. With no account, execution is unlocked for up to three minutes per day. Once you create the account, you get 14 free days with no time limit on runs. Building, editing and saving automations on the device is free either way.
