Mirror and control your Android phone from Linux over WiFi

Description

RemotePhone lets you mirror and control your Android phone from your Linux desktop over WiFi — no USB debugging or ADB required.

Features:
* Native resolution screen mirroring over WiFi
* Full remote control — tap, swipe, long press, scroll, system keys
* Audio mirroring with automatic phone speaker muting (Android 10+)
* Keyboard input — type text directly into phone text fields
* PIN pad keyboard support for lock screen
* Low latency H.264 hardware encoding
* Auto-discovery — finds your phone on the network automatically
* Auto-reconnect on connection loss
* Wake on input — wakes the phone screen remotely

The Linux client is available via pip: pip install remote-phone

Both devices must be on the same WiFi network. The app uses an Accessibility Service to dispatch touch gestures and text input from the desktop.
