Full-Featured Mobile App for Bruce (Control, App Store, Settings)

[ulvimammaadov]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, using Bruce firmware in the field requires a PC or manual scripting via serial interface. This makes real-world usage slow, cumbersome, and inaccessible for non-technical users. There’s no unified UI to control attacks, update settings, or manage payloads dynamically — which limits Bruce’s potential.

Describe the solution you'd like

A dedicated mobile app (Android/iOS) with the following features:
• Bruce Control Panel: Run attacks, view logs, OTA firmware updates
• App/Payload Store: Download/update community or official scripts
• Settings Interface: Change Wi-Fi, BLE, scan interval, payload triggers
• Bluetooth Communication: Secure BLE or Serial over BLE (with auth)
• Multi-device support: Manage multiple Bruce devices at once
Preferred implementation would be cross-platform (Flutter or React Native)
Describe alternatives you've considered

It is on its way

[ulvimammaadov]

Great to hear that, looking forward to it!

I’d be happy to contribute once the repository is public — especially on the UI/UX side, communication protocols (BLE/UART), and embedded integration (M5StickC Plus, ESP32 family).

Feel free to tag me or open issues for collaboration opportunities.
Cheers.

This would be helpful

I'm adding BLE to BruceApp, if anyone want to contribute I pushed the initial commit to andreock@a4d0979 and here BruceDevices/App@7e87f04 @ulvimammaadov

[andreock]

The main problem with BLE control is that require a lot of RAM so on board with less PSRAM/RAM like ESP32-Pico(M5stick for example) enabling BLE make impossible to use WiFi or other hungry RAM feature

[eadmaster]

Another problem with BLE is that it eats your battery in the long run and it prevents bluetooth attacks from being used. With a physical usb serial connection you don't have these problems.

[andreock]

Sure, at the moment support for BLE API for BruceApp must be enabled/disabled from Config section without wasting RAM and battery in normal usage

[andreock]

At the moment I'm working on the mobile app, i finished the BLE services to implement UI and navigation. I switched to NimBLE over ESP32 BLE official library to use less RAM and increase speed of read/write. BLE is now usable on almost all boards I think(on M5stick CPlus 2 it uses about 50kb of heap(leaving 60kb free)).

The app does have a few releases but not yet on the app store. You can download the Andriod version from the releases section of this repository https://github.com/pr3y/BruceApp/releases

[andreock]

You can compile it from new_ble branch and test it if you want. At the moment I'm still working on it since there are some graphical issies but it's almost ready
