Re: Does anyone know how to control android from mac?

Scrcpy is actually an excellent choice if you're looking for a free, high-performance, and reliable way to control Android from Mac. Here's what you need to know:

How Scrcpy Works for Free Control from Mac:

• Mirroring & Control: Scrcpy not only mirrors your Android screen to your Mac but also allows you to control your Android device using your Mac's keyboard and mouse.
• Performance: It offers very low latency, so you can interact almost in real-time.
• Cost: Completely free and open-source.
• Setup: Requires some initial setup but is straightforward.

How to control Android from Mac:

1. Install Homebrew (if not already installed):
Open Terminal and run:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

2. Install scrcpy:
In Terminal, run: 

brew install scrcpy

3. Prepare your Android device:
Enable Developer Options (go to Settings > About phone > tap Build number 7 times).
Enable USB debugging (Settings > Developer options > USB 

4. Connect your Android device:
Use a USB cable or set up wireless debugging (more complex).
For USB, just plug in your device.

5. Run scrcpy:
Open Terminal.

scrcpy

It will launch a window displaying your Android screen, and you'll be able to control it with your Mac's mouse and keyboard.
