thanks @androidweekly team! Just saw ComposeBridge featured in
your roundup — thank you! 🙏
Latest Android Weekly Issue 746 is out!

For all Android and GitBack Compose developers, we all know how time-consuming and time-consuming it is to constantly wait for a project to be rebuilt using Gridl, just for a simple padding adjustment or a color change within the interface.
This is where the idea for Compose Bridge came from. It's an open-source plugin, now officially available on the GitBrains store, designed to radically accelerate the interface building and modification cycle.
The tool allows you to connect your app running directly on your device or emulator to the Android Studio environment, enabling you to modify design elements, color schemes, and dimensions in real time from your phone's screen. Its key feature lies in its code rewriting process. The plugin surgically rewrites and modifies the source code within Kotlin files with precision and security, allowing you to review differences and revert to the previous version with a single click.
The tool also provides an integrated model context protocol server, enabling AI tools and agents to inspect the live interface tree and provide accurate and responsive solutions that are compatible with your actual screen.
The project is available for everyone to use, contribute to and develop via GitHub and the GitBrains Add-ons Store. I would be very happy for you to try it out and share your feedback and opinions to further develop the experience.plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin…

🚀 ComposeBridge v1.0.0 is officially live on the JetBrains Marketplace!
Testing and tweaking Jetpack Compose UI has always involved a painful bottleneck: waiting for slow Gradle rebuilds and redeployments just to adjust padding, change a color, or fix a typo.
We built ComposeBridge to solve this from the ground up:
🔹 Direct On-Device UI Tweaks: Adjust layout tokens, colors, dimensions, and text directly on your connected device.
🔹 Surgical AST Mutation: No dirty string replaces—changes are patched deterministically into your Kotlin source code via the IntelliJ PSI/AST engine.
🔹 Visual Diff & Full Rollback: Review every change with an inline diff viewer right inside Android Studio before confirming.
🔹 MCP Server Built-in: Connects your running UI context to AI coding agents for autonomous refactoring workflows.
You can now install it directly from your IDE:
Settings -> Plugins -> Marketplace -> Search "ComposeBridge"
🔗 JetBrains Marketplace:

🚀 Announcing ComposeBridge v1.0.0 — Real-Time Visual UI Editor & MCP Server for Jetpack Compose!
Tired of endless Gradle rebuilds just to tweak paddings, colors, and layout tokens in Compose?
I’ve just released ComposeBridge v1.0.0, an open-architecture developer tool and IntelliJ/Android Studio plugin that enables live, on-device UI editing directly synced back to your Kotlin source code.
✨ What’s inside v1.0.0:
🎯 Focus Mode: BottomSheet highlights only the exact element tapped—no digging through deep UI hierarchies.
🌐 Global vs. Split: Mutate tokens globally across the codebase or create isolated values on the fly.
📦 Pending Edits Queue: Batch your visual changes and sync them in a single surgical pass.
📐 Full Dimension Support: Live adjustments for paddings, widths, heights, and font sizes (<50ms latency).
🛡️ Review & Rollback: Git-status-like diff in the IDE; inspect exact changes or do a byte-for-byte rollback.
🤖 17+ MCP Server Tools: AI agents can now inspect layouts, run builds, and safely mutate source code via deterministic AST operations.
Direct downloads for the IDE plugin (.zip) and Compose Agent (.aar) are live in the GitHub release.

Hello, I built a tool that adjusts from a real phone to color and dimensions and immediately reflects to the basic code in Android Studio without rebuilding or asking the Al to modify a specific color or card size if you want to try and evaluate the tool Here's my repository

🎉 ComposeBridge is now scheduled on @ProductHunt — launching Tuesday, Sept 29!
A real-time visual editor for Jetpack Compose. Edit UI on a real device, no rebuilds. Single-line git diff.
If you find it useful, your support on launch day means a lot 🙏

3 weeks ago I shipped v0.1.0 of ComposeBridge.
The feedback I got was brutal — and correct:
• "sourceInfo only covers 70%"
• "regex byte-splice will break on Dp(16f)"
• "no auth, no rollback, no safety"
So I fixed all of it.
v0.3.0 is out:
✅ UTF-16 prefix mapper (100% accuracy)
✅ .bridgeignore + auto-detection
✅ Source ↔ Registry unified loop
✅ Auth + journal rollback
Every criticism made it better.
