A few examples: Using mitmproxy to capture and analyze app traffic from phone apps (automated w/ a widget shortcut to configure android proxy settings on launch and then reset back when I'm finished). SSHing into my servers (mosh is useful to keep connections alive if network cuts out). I have my own homescreen widgets to automatically launch for specific nodes. Also use tmux everywhere to handle multiple sessions. Scripting my android phone as a USB keyboard input (simulating BadUSB). I've implemented my own "lost phone rescue" so I have a way to remote into my device if I lose it.
