<b>PlainApp</b> is a free, open-source Android app that turns your phone into a self-hosted management hub accessible from any web browser on the same network - no accounts, no cloud, no subscriptions. <b>Why PlainApp?</b> Most phone-management tools route your data through their own servers, lock features behind subscriptions, or show ads.
