DeskDroid v1.2.1

DeskDroid v1.2.1 (macOS)

Fixed

• Wi-Fi devices stuck as "unauthorized": the phone asks "Allow USB debugging?" only when a connection opens, and on a new computer that first prompt often appeared during auto-discovery and timed out unseen. Mirroring then failed on every retry. DeskDroid now reconnects an unauthorized Wi-Fi device before reporting the error, so the prompt appears again: watch the phone, tap Allow, and retry.

Everything else is as in v1.2.0.

Known Limitations

• The app is not signed with an Apple Developer ID. If macOS blocks it, run xattr -cr /Applications/DeskDroid.app once.
• The bundled MCP server (deskdroid-mcp) is built for Intel only; on Apple Silicon it needs Rosetta 2.
• No Windows package for this version yet. The Windows (Preview) package v1.2.0 already includes this fix.

DeskDroid v1.2.0 (macOS)

New

• MCP server status: a hub icon in the device list toolbar shows whether the bundled MCP server runs, which AI clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Antigravity) are set up to use it, and how many AI sessions are connected. Its panel copies the client configuration with the right path.
• Live AI activity: the panel lists each AI session and its recent tool calls, and the mirroring page shows a banner while an AI is controlling that device. Only tool names, devices, results, and durations are recorded, never what the AI types.

Improved

• Mirroring controls: the controls now sit in two vertical docks beside the phone; the bottom bar is gone. The power button is at the top in red, Inject Text is at the top of the side toolbar, the Logcat console at the bottom, and Keep Phone Awake moved to the hardware controls.
• Showcase and User Guide: keyboard shortcuts match your OS (Cmd on macOS, Ctrl on Windows), and categories show how many features they hold.

Fixed

• The MCP tool android_get_current_app failed on Android 10 phones and while the lock screen or notification shade was open. It now names the app and the window in front of it.

Known Limitations

• The app is not signed with an Apple Developer ID. If macOS blocks it, run xattr -cr /Applications/DeskDroid.app once.
• The bundled MCP server (deskdroid-mcp) is built for Intel only; on Apple Silicon it needs Rosetta 2. The new status panel tells you when Rosetta is missing.
• No Windows package for this version yet. The latest Windows (Preview) package is v1.0.1.

New

• Multi-touch: two-finger pinch and rotate from the trackpad, or Alt + drag with a mouse.
• Live trackpad scrolling: two-finger scrolling drags the phone screen in real time, so lists fling as they do on the phone.
• Unicode text: the text input (Cmd + K) pastes Vietnamese, CJK, and emoji intact.
• Screen Off (Cmd + O): turns the phone's display off while mirroring and control continue.
• Keep Phone Awake: sun icon in the side toolbar, on by default. The phone does not sleep while mirroring, and no phone setting is changed.
• Audio forwarding (Android 11+): the phone's sound plays on the computer.
• ADB is bundled: no separate ADB installation is needed on macOS.

Improved

• scrcpy-server upgraded from v2.1 to v5.0.1: mirroring works on Android 14 QPR3, 15, and 16.
• Touch, keys, and the Back, Home, and App Switch buttons go through the scrcpy control socket, which is faster and more reliable than adb shell input.
• The side toolbar no longer overflows in small windows.

Known Limitations

• The app is not signed with an Apple Developer ID. If macOS blocks it, run xattr -cr /Applications/DeskDroid.app once.
• The bundled MCP server (deskdroid-mcp) is built for Intel only; on Apple Silicon it needs Rosetta 2.
