What is it?

LinkAndroid is a desktop application built with Electron that connects an Android phone to a PC over USB or wireless networking. It uses scrcpy for low-latency screen mirroring with reverse keyboard and mouse control, and it can also use the phone camera as a live video source.

Beyond mirroring, the app bundles screenshot editing with device frames and gradient backgrounds, GIF and MP4 screen recording, a file manager for browsing and transferring phone files, and an app manager for listing, uninstalling and installing APKs. An ADB Shell terminal and a command shortcut panel are included for running adb and Android shell commands.

Automation is handled by Python scripts that can be scheduled with cron expressions and run across multiple devices, with logs for each run. A local HTTP API with Bearer token authentication lets other tools trigger tasks, and the app integrates with dozens of AI model providers, including OpenAI, DeepSeek, Ollama and Anthropic Claude.
