ProxyAI ensures you’re always present — joining your Microsoft Teams meetings automatically and waking you up at the perfect time to take over.
Never miss a class again — even in your sleep
ProxyAI joins your Microsoft Teams meetings at the exact class time—then rings a loud alarm one minute later so you can take over. Set your schedule once. Sleep in. Show up.
Early morning online classes are brutal. You set the alarm, you still oversleep. You wake up, fumble for the phone, open Teams, find the meeting, join—and you're late.
ProxyAI flips the script. It joins the meeting for you at the exact class time, with mic and camera off. One minute later, a loud alarm wakes you up. You're already in the call; you just unmute and go.
- Zero effort at join time — Phone can be locked, screen off. ProxyAI wakes it, opens Teams, finds the team, joins the meeting, and mutes everything.
- No Microsoft login in the app — You stay logged in to Teams on your phone; ProxyAI uses Android automation to navigate the app.
- Fully local — No servers, no accounts, no data sent anywhere. Your schedule and behavior stay on your device.
- Built for students — One-tap setup, clear permissions, and a dark UI that doesn’t get in the way.

| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| Schedule | You add each class once: class name, exact Team name (as in Teams), days, and time. |
| Background | A foreground service checks the schedule every minute. No polling of Teams until class time. |
| Class time | At the exact minute of class, ProxyAI wakes the screen, dismisses swipe lock, and launches Teams. |
| Navigation | An Accessibility Service finds your Team (scrolling the list if needed), opens General, finds the "Meeting started" banner, and taps Join. |
| Pre-join | Mic and camera are turned off; then it taps Join now. |
| Alarm | One minute after class time, a full-volume alarm rings and keeps ringing until you tap I'm awake in the notification. |
| Automatic join | Joins at the exact class time—no "5 minutes before" window. |
| Works while asleep | Screen off, phone locked (swipe-only). ProxyAI wakes and unlocks for the flow. |
| Mic & camera off | Joins with microphone and camera disabled by default. |
| Loud alarm | Alarm uses the alarm stream and audio focus so it’s audible even with Teams in the foreground. |
| Rings until you respond | Alarm loops until you tap I'm awake in the notification. |
| Multiple classes | Add as many classes as you need; each has its own toggle. |
| No backend | Everything runs on device. No accounts, no cloud, no data collection. |
| Dark UI | Simple, modern interface with clear status and controls. |
- Android 8.0 (Oreo) or higher
- Microsoft Teams installed and logged in on the same device
- Swipe-only (or no) lock screen — no PIN/pattern/password for full automation
- ProxyAI Accessibility Service enabled in system settings
- Battery optimization disabled for ProxyAI (so the background checker keeps running)
- Allow restricted settings (Android 13+) so the app can use Accessibility and background execution
- Download the ProxyAI APK. (from release)
- If needed: Settings → Apps → Special app access → Install unknown apps and allow your browser or file manager.
- Open the APK and install.
If Play Protect blocks it: Play Store → Profile → Play Protect → Settings → turn off "Scan apps with Play Protect" and Improve Harmful App Detection for installation, then re-enable if you like afterward.
- Settings → search App management (or Apps).
- Find ProxyAI → tap the ⋮ menu → Allow restricted settings.
- Open ProxyAI. Complete the short onboarding.
- When asked, tap Open Settings and enable the ProxyAI Accessibility Service.
- When asked, disable Battery optimization for ProxyAI (e.g. Unrestricted).
- Optional but recommended: Settings → App management → ProxyAI → Manage notifications → allow notifications (for the "I'm awake" alarm notification).
For automatic unlock during the flow, use Swipe or None (no PIN/pattern/password).
Configure in Settings → Security / Biometrics → Screen lock.
- In ProxyAI, tap Add class (or the + button).
- Fill in:
- Class name — e.g. Computer Networks (for your reference).
- Team name — exactly as it appears in the Teams app (e.g. FA23-BCS Computer Networks).
- Days — the weekdays this class runs.
- Time — class start time.
- Save and leave the class enabled (toggle on).
The Team name must match the Teams channel name character-for-character; otherwise the automation may not find it.
ProxyAI uses Android’s Accessibility Service API (the same family of APIs used by screen readers and accessibility tools). There are no remote bots or servers:
- A foreground service and AlarmManager run a schedule check every minute.
- At the exact class minute, the app triggers a full-screen intent and starts a transparent activity to wake the device and dismiss the keyguard (swipe lock).
- It launches Microsoft Teams via the system launcher.
- The Accessibility Service inspects the Teams UI, finds the team by name (scrolling the list if needed), opens General, finds the "Meeting started" banner, and taps Join.
- On the pre-join screen it turns off mic and camera, then taps Join now.
- One minute after class time, AlarmRingingService starts: it requests audio focus with
USAGE_ALARM, plays the default alarm sound in a loop viaMediaPlayer, and shows an ongoing notification with an I'm awake action. - Tapping I'm awake stops the service, releases audio focus, and clears the pending automation state.
All logic runs on the device; no Microsoft or third-party backend is involved.
- No Microsoft or other account login inside ProxyAI.
- No user data collected or sent off-device.
- No backend server; schedules and state are stored locally (e.g. SharedPreferences).
- The Accessibility Service only interacts with the Teams UI to perform the described actions; it does not read or upload your messages or content.
| Issue | What to try |
|---|---|
| Doesn’t join at class time | Confirm the class is enabled, Team name matches Teams exactly, Accessibility is on, and battery optimization is off for ProxyAI. |
| "Restricted setting" when enabling Accessibility | Complete Allow restricted settings for ProxyAI (Settings → App management → ProxyAI → ⋮ → Allow restricted settings). |
| Teams opens but doesn’t navigate | Use swipe-only or no lock screen; ensure Teams is installed and you’re logged in. |
| Alarm too quiet | Device alarm volume and (if applicable) media volume should be up; the app requests alarm stream and audio focus. |
| Alarm stops after one ring | In current versions the alarm loops until you tap I'm awake; if it still stops, check that you’re on the latest build. |
- Android only — iOS is not supported.
- Lock screen — Full automation requires swipe or no lock; PIN/pattern/password prevent automatic unlock.
- Teams UI — If Microsoft changes the Teams app layout or strings, automation may need an update.
- Teams must be installed and logged in — The app only drives the existing Teams client.
- Flutter — UI and app logic.
- Kotlin — Android: Accessibility Service, AlarmManager, foreground service, full-screen intent, wake/unlock, alarm playback.
- flutter_background_service — Foreground task that keeps the schedule checker eligible to run.
- Local storage — Schedules and flags in SharedPreferences; no cloud.
