Tether API

Expose phone status via HTTP API when tethering

Tether API exposes your phone's connection status via a local HTTP API, accessible from tethered devices like laptops.

Perfect for integrating phone status into desktop widgets, status bars (waybar, polybar), or custom scripts.

Features:

• Auto-start when tethering is enabled

• Real-time connection info: 5G, LTE, 3G, WiFi

• Signal strength in dBm and bars (0-4)

• Carrier name and roaming status

• Battery level and charging state

• Simple REST API with JSON responses

API Endpoints:

• GET /status - Full phone status

• GET /health - Health check

Example usage from your laptop:

curl http://192.168.42.1:8765/status

Use cases:

• Waybar/polybar modules showing phone signal

• KDE Plasma widgets

• Custom scripts and automation

• Any app that can make HTTP requests

The server runs on port 8765 and is only accessible from your tethered device, not the internet.
