RemotePhone

Mirror and control your Android phone from Linux over WiFi
New in version 2.0.0
- Approve each computer on the phone before it can see or control the screen
- Encrypted connection; the screen stream is no longer readable on the network
- Settings: ask before connecting, remember computers, allow several at once
- Follows the phone into landscape; the desktop window turns with it
- The picture appears immediately on connect
RemotePhone lets you mirror and control your Android phone from your Linux desktop over WiFi — no USB debugging or ADB required.

Features:
* Native resolution screen mirroring over WiFi
* Full remote control — tap, swipe, long press, scroll, system keys
* Audio mirroring with automatic phone speaker muting (Android 10+)
* Keyboard input — type text directly into phone text fields
* PIN pad keyboard support for lock screen
* Low latency H.264 hardware encoding
* Auto-discovery — finds your phone on the network automatically
* Auto-reconnect on connection loss
* Wake on input — wakes the phone screen remotely
* Dark theme UI

The Linux client is available via pip: pip install remote-phone

Both devices must be on the same WiFi network. The app uses an Accessibility Service to dispatch touch gestures and text input from the desktop.

Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
