Mirrord: a scrcpy alternative with a window, iPhones and an editor

scrcpy is a great free, open-source tool for mirroring and controlling Android from the command line. Mirrord builds on the same idea in a full app: no terminal, iPhones too, several screens, live drawing, and recording into an editor.

When scrcpy is the better fit

If you want something free and open source, scriptable, and only need Android, scrcpy is excellent. (Mirrord uses scrcpy’s server for USB connections, and credits it.)

When Mirrord is

When you want it to just work in a window, mirror iPhones too, show several devices at once, or make videos and present.

Questions

Do I need developer options?

Not with the Mirrord app over Wi-Fi. USB and wireless debugging need them turned on once.

Does it work on Linux?

Yes, as an AppImage or a .deb, with adb included.
