Background & analysis
On 2026-11-02 at 12:12, a developer posted on V2EX about Droidance, an open-source Android agent they built using Vibe Coding. According to the announcement, Droidance ships as an APK of roughly 13 MB that installs directly on a phone and requires Android 11 or later. Once installed, it takes a single sentence as instruction, then watches the screen and performs taps, swipes and text input to carry out a task step by step inside apps, and finally organizes the outcome for the user. The app is built with native development, its code is open source, the model is user-selectable, and it also supports scheduled tasks and skill reuse. First-time setup involves completing the on-screen pairing flow inside the app and pasting in a model API key, after which the agent can start taking jobs. Links were shared to the code repository at github.com/ybblab/Droidance and the site droidance.app. So far only this first-hand developer account is public, with no third-party verification or further updates reported yet.
