About

SecondScreen is an application designed for power users that frequently connect their Android devices to external displays. It works with your existing screen mirroring solution to give you the best experience possible. With SecondScreen, you can change your device's resolution and density to fit your TV or monitor, enable always-on desktop mode in Chrome, and even turn your device's backlight off, among several other features. This app requires elevated permissions, granted via root access or adb shell commands. The app will do nothing if you do not have a rooted device or access to adb. This app is only for devices with AOSP/Google experience ROMs. It is not guaranteed to function properly on devices with manufacturer-skinned ROMs. This app does not provide screen mirroring capabilities on its own. Screen mirroring may require either an MHL/SlimPort adapter or a wireless solution such as Miracast or Chromecast.

About

Sidekick pairs an Android phone with a Mac so users can access selected phone functions from the desktop. The companion apps connect directly over the same local Wi-Fi network after a one-time QR-code pairing. The connection uses TLS 1.3 with certificate pinning and operates without a cloud relay or account. Sidekick can show the phone's screen in a Mac window, display notifications and allow replies when the Android app supports them, transfer photos and files in either direction, and share clipboard contents. It also provides caller alerts and Mac-initiated dialing while call audio remains on the phone, plus media playback controls. Users can send replies to supported message notifications from the Mac. Screen sharing requires approval on the Android device for each session. The software is for Macs with Apple silicon running macOS 11 or later and Android 10 or later. Sidekick is currently an invitation-only beta.
