Open Source Mac Screen Mirroring Software

scrcpy is an application for displaying and controlling your Android device through USB connection (or over TCP/IP). It is cross-platform (GNU/Linux, macOS and Windows) and does not require any root access. scrcpy displays only the device screen but offers great performance (30~60fps) and quality (1920×1080 or above). It’s got low latency (35~70ms) and a very low startup time (less than a second). It offers plenty of great features and is non-intrusive, with nothing left installed inside the device. scrcpy works with Android devices with at least API 21 (Android 5.0) and adb debugging must be enabled on the device.

Weylus turns your tablet or smart phone into a graphic tablet/touch screen for your computer! No apps except a modern browser (Firefox 80+, iOS/iPadOS 13+) are required on your tablet. Start Weylus, preferably set an access code in the access code box and press the Start button. This will start a webserver running on your computer. To control your computer with your tablet you need to open the url http://<address of your computer>:<port set in the menu, default is 1701>, if possible Weylus will display to you the url you need to open and show a QR code with the encoded address. If you have a firewall running make sure to open a TCP port for the webserver (1701 by default) and the websocket connection (9001 by default).

Scrcpy was created by the team behind the popular Android emulator Genymotion, but it is not an Android emulator itself, it displays and controls Android devices connected via USB or TCP/IP, it does not require any root access. It works with GNU/Linux, Windows, and MacOS. Scrcpy works by running a server on your Android device, and the desktop application communicates using USB (or using ADB tunneling wireless). The server streams the 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, and the server injects them into the device. If you want to see your Android screen interact with the app or content on your desktop, record your phone screen or perform other basic tasks, then Scrcpy is a good choice. In short, Scrcpy is an excellent way to easily view your Android screen on your computer and interact with it in real time.

Screen2ipcam is a lightweight native Windows application that turns any Windows PC into a standard ONVIF Profile S / RTSP IP camera. Instead of purchasing expensive HDMI encoders, capture cards, or additional hardware, simply install Screen2ipcam and your computer becomes discoverable by ONVIF-compatible NVRs and VMS software. The application streams the Windows desktop using H.264 RTSP, supports Main and Sub streams, JPEG snapshots, and WS-Discovery for automatic ONVIF detection. It works seamlessly with Blue Iris, Dahua, Hikvision, Agent DVR, Synology Surveillance Station, and virtually any ONVIF-compatible surveillance system. Screen2ipcam is ideal for POS terminals, supermarkets, retail stores, pharmacies, restaurants, factories, warehouses, schools, offices, control rooms, industrial SCADA systems, reception desks, and digital signage where recording the computer screen alongside surveillance cameras is required.

GUI Client for Scrcpy and Gnirehtet (Yet to be added) with auto-launch on device connect.

The idea is to replicate what Chromecast can do in regards to screen mirroring and streaming media to a remote display. Google chromes screen mirroring feature works well when used with a receiver such as Chromecast but this is a proprietary solution and audio does not work for desktop mirroring on some operating systems. At the moment, there is only a client for Debian/Ubuntu Operating systems and a server/receiver application for Raspberry pi. Mirrorcast aims to be a low latency screen mirroring solution with high-quality video and audio at 25-30fps, the later is why we will not use something like VNC. Mirrorcast uses up about the same amount of system resources as google chromes cast feature. The delay is less than 1 second on most networks. To achieve this we will use existing FOSS software such as ffmpeg, mpv, and omxplayer.

Docker-Android is a docker image built to be used for everything related to mobile website testing and Android project.

An experimental project to use an Android phone as a pen display. A 32-bit Java runtime environment is required (the DLL driven by the virtual tablet is only 32-bit)
