Smartphones are an essential part of modern life. To some people, the phone is even more important than a standard computer. A lot of people sit at computers all day, but they still have to check their phone for certain things. A new tool called "scrcpy" allows you to display your phone screen on your computer with just a USB connection and ADB. No root required.

The developer says scrcpy works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It works by executing a server on the device. scrcpy communicates with the server via a socket over an adb tunnel. Your screen is streamed as an h.264 video, which is then decoded and displayed by scrcpy. Keyboard and mouse input is sent to the server and pushed to the device. scrcpy focuses on lightness, high-performance, high-quality, low latency, fast start-up, and non-intrusive. Here's how to get it set up.

  1. Download the latest zip file from Github and extract it.
  2. Set up ADB access on your machine.
  3. Open up a command prompt or terminal inside the previously extracted folder, and enter scrcpy. That's it!

Interacting with the phone is a simple as you would expect. Just click to tap and click and drag to swipe. App orientation should also be translated to the screen.
