# Android-Dex (Shrey113/Android-Dex) > 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. - GitHub: https://github.com/Shrey113/Android-Dex - GitHub.Locker page: https://github.locker/Shrey113/Android-Dex - Stars: 3.6K - Language: HTML - Last push: 2026-10-31 ## Questions and answers Written by GitHub.Locker from the README and the repository; check the README below for details. **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. --- ## README (checked against GitHub 2026-11-03) Source: https://github.com/Shrey113/Android-Dex/blob/main/README.md > [!WARNING] > **Official Distribution Only:** This GitHub repository () is the **only official and authorized source** for Android DEX. # Android DEX 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.
