Android DEX

Transform your Android device into a complete desktop experience.

Android DEX is a free, closed-source desktop application for Windows, Linux, and macOS that lets you run Android apps in resizable desktop-style windows, mirror screens, stream per-app audio, manage notifications, control media playback, and game with native keyboard and mouse input — all using high-performance ADB and companion services over USB or Wi-Fi.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Boost your productivity with built-in keyboard shortcuts for the most common actions:

Shortcut Action
Ctrl + G Toggle Game Controls / Gaming Mode for current app
Ctrl + F Enter / Toggle Fullscreen
Esc Exit Fullscreen
Ctrl + Alt + Up / Down System-level hotkey to Show / Hide Android DEX
Ctrl + Alt + Left / Right Switch active device / Open device switcher panel

Gaming Mode (No Emulator Detection)

Experience true desktop-grade gaming with zero emulator detection. Because games execute directly on your physical Android hardware and touch events are passed via low-level native protocols, anti-cheat systems recognize your device as a genuine mobile phone—giving you full access to native mobile lobbies without emulator bans or restrictions.

Control / Button Description
Tap Spot Button Single tap or turbo rapid-fire mapped to any keyboard key or mouse click at exact screen coordinates
D-Pad / Joystick 8-directional movement (WASD) with adjustable radius, deadzone, sprint zone, and analog smoothing
FPS Mouse Lock & Gyro Aim True 360° FPS camera control with cursor locking and gyroscope sensor emulation for precision aiming
Right-Click Aim / ADS Dedicated Right-Click trigger for instant Scope / Aim-Down-Sights (ADS) or secondary action toggle
Swipe & Skill Trigger Directional swipe gestures, skill casting, and flick mechanics bound to single key presses
Script & Combo Macro Multi-step automated touch sequences (tap combos, delays, and directional swipes) mapped to a single key
Game Profile Manager Create, save, and auto-load customized control layouts per game with local database storage

Technologies & Dependencies

Searching Database…

What is this?A desktop app for Windows, Linux and macOS that runs Android apps in resizable windows and mirrors your phone over USB or Wi-Fi via ADB. It is pitched as a Samsung DeX alternative for any Android phone.
Is it something I install, or code I add to my project?It is an installable desktop app, not a library or framework. The phone side uses a companion Android service, and the desktop side is built with Flutter.
How do I get it running?Download the build for your OS from the Download table in the README, then connect your phone over USB or Wi-Fi. The app uses standard ADB, including wireless pairing.
Do I need anything else on the phone or PC?Your phone needs ADB debugging turned on (USB or wireless debugging), because everything runs over ADB. Screen mirroring is handled by scrcpy under the hood.
Any catches I should know about?You can't audit it, since it is closed-source. The gaming claim that anti-cheat sees a real phone is the author's own statement and is not verified here. Only download from official links.
Does it work with any Android phone?The description says it works with all Android devices, connected over ADB. The README does not list specific Android versions or phone models.
Does it send my screen, keystrokes or data anywhere?The author says all mirroring, audio and input stay local between your PC and phone, with no telemetry, no cloud servers and no internet needed. Because it is closed-source, you can't verify this yourself.
Can I use it for free, and can I share it?It is free for personal, educational, research and testing use. Non-commercial videos and reviews are fine, but you can't monetize them. Commercial use, redistribution or repackaging needs written permission from the author.
What can I do in Gaming Mode?Map keys and mouse clicks to taps, WASD-style D-pad and joystick movement, FPS mouse lock with gyro aim, and combo macros. Game profiles are saved locally, per game.
Can I control notifications and media from my PC?Yes. The README says it can manage notifications, control media playback and stream per-app audio to the desktop.
What are the main keyboard shortcuts?Ctrl+G toggles game controls, Ctrl+F enters fullscreen and Esc exits it. Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down shows or hides the app, and Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right switches devices.
Which open-source tools does it build on?ADB handles the device connection, scrcpy handles low-latency mirroring, Flutter builds the desktop UI and Kotlin powers the Android companion service.
