Turn an old Android phone into a customizable desk panel and touch control deck for Windows, Linux and macOS. 115 widgets for system stats, AI coding, media and automation. USB or paired Wi-Fi. No cloud required.
PhoneBox repurposes an old Android phone into a customizable desk panel and Stream Deck-style touch controller for Windows, Linux, or macOS. A PC-side agent feeds the phone widgets for system stats, AI coding sessions (Claude Code, Codex), media controls, and automation, with 115 widgets and 30 templates designed in a visual editor over USB or Wi-Fi.
Why now: It's trending on GitHub's most-starred new repos list, likely due to its live browser demo, recent release, and appeal of reusing old phones as AI-coding control decks.
Who it is for: Developers and power users with a spare Android phone who want system monitoring, AI coding notifications, and quick-launch controls on their desk.
