Overview

Mika is a Kotlin Android app that takes a plain-language request and carries it out across other apps and a built-in browser. It reads the screen like a person and works on a hidden background screen, so the main display stays usable. There is no Mika server: requests go to the model provider you configure with an API key or account sign-in.

Who it is for: Android users who want an on-phone agent that operates apps with their own key

Strengths

  • Drives any app by reading the screen, with no per-app integration or app APIs
  • Runs on a hidden background screen while you keep using the phone
  • Many provider presets plus a Custom endpoint, including Ollama and LM Studio
  • Ask mode confirms before payments; schedules, memory and learned skills included

Weaknesses

  • Android only; phone control needs Android 12+, 14+ recommended
  • Phone control needs wireless debugging pairing, which can switch off on Wi-Fi change or reboot
  • Built-in app and website knowledge is written in Chinese
  • Linux sandbox for Python, Node and shell works only on arm64 devices

What it needs

  • no GPU
  • Needs Android 11+ (12+ for phone control), Model provider API key or account sign-in, Wireless debugging pairing for app control
  • Models: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI, Mistral
