Mirrors Android devices over USB/TCP with keyboard and mouse control, no root required.
Learn more about scrcpy
scrcpy is a native C application that displays and controls Android devices from desktop computers. It uses Android's built-in screen recording capabilities and ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to capture video and audio streams, then renders them using SDL2 with optional FFmpeg encoding. The application achieves 30-120fps performance with 35-70ms latency by streaming H.264/H.265 video directly from the device. Common use cases include mobile app development, device testing, presentations, and remote Android device management.
No Device Installation
Operates entirely through ADB without requiring any applications or modifications on the Android device. Uses the device's native screen recording and input injection capabilities.
Low Latency Streaming
Achieves 35-70ms latency through direct video stream capture and native rendering. Supports hardware-accelerated H.264/H.265 encoding with configurable quality settings.
HID Input Simulation
Provides physical keyboard and mouse simulation through USB HID, enabling precise input control. Includes OTG mode for device control without screen mirroring.
