DeskDroid v1.1.0 (macOS)

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.
  • No Windows package for this version yet. The latest Windows (Preview) package is v1.0.1.
