What is scrcpy?
This application provides display and control of Android devices connected on USB and WiFi. It does not require any root access. It works on GNU/Linux, Windows and MacOS.
IT FOCUSES ON:
- lightness: native, displays only the device screen
- performance: 30~120fps, depending on the device
- quality: 1920×1080 or above
- low latency: 35~70ms
- low startup time: ~1 second to display the first image
- non-intrusiveness: nothing is left installed on the device
- user benefits: no account, no ads, no internet required
- freedom: free and open source software
ITS FEATURES INCLUDE:
- recording
- mirroring with device screen off
- copy-paste in both directions
- configurable quality
- device screen as a webcam (V4L2) (Linux-only)
- physical keyboard simulation (HID) (Linux-only)
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- The application executes a server on the device. The client and the server communicate via a socket over an adb tunnel.
- The server streams an H.264 video of the device screen. The client decodes the video frames and displays them.
- The client captures input (keyboard and mouse) events, sends them to the server, which injects them to the device.

really extraordinary
no ads
works without internet need to plug in usb cable.
no money for full screen (vysor)
The image is very good (vysor slow)
transitions too fast (vysor pause)
Free (vysor paid)
Sometimes I say what I wish I wish I had done before.
this program has been an event
definitely try.
thank you very much
This is the only app that works very smoothly. Nothing beats typing on a physical keybaord and viewing phone screen on a larger display, while working from home, due to COVID19.
Vysor only works in chrome (love MS Edge Chrome); Dex is having problem with Win7 (not capturing physical keyboard); Samsung Flow is Win10 only; Samsung SideSync not working on Note10+.
Super happy with SCRCPY. Thank you!
Incredible Android screen mirroring app, if you want to share what's happening to your laptop. It has very little lag, and the quality is splendid. You can even control your phone's screen from your computer.
The perfect app for mirroring, use this app for mirroring and myphone explorer for managing your android devices
It's not perfect, and is command line based, but most of its shortcomings can be attributed to the inherent oddities of the ADB-based connectivity it relies on.
There are some GUI offerings for it for those with CLI-aphobia, but I'd recommend using it as intended at first as a learning experience.
There are some other (mostly paid) alternatives, but I'd heavily recommend avoiding most (especially Vysor) as they're not free/OSS and work much more poorly than Scrcpy. One that's not terrible is AnyDesk (works on all platforms), but is still just a cluttered, over-engineered POS software IMO.
It's free open source and easy to use
Simplest and easiest to use of all mirror/control via PC apps for android.
