Your Android,
on your Mac.
Your phone's screen, its apps as real Mac windows, your chats, photos, texts and calls — all in one native Mac app. No account. Nothing from your phone leaves your Mac.
Free · macOS 14 or later · Android 5 or later
Native, not a web page
A real Mac app: fast, quiet, at home next to Finder and Messages.
No account, no cloud
Straight from your phone to your Mac. Nothing in between.
Cable or Wi-Fi
Plug in once; after that it finds your phone on your Wi-Fi.
Apps as Mac windows
Every Android app, in its own window.
Open WhatsApp, Instagram or your banking app right on your Mac. Each one gets its own resizable window, laid out like a tablet — and your phone stays dark in your pocket.
Chats
All your chat apps, one click away.
WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Messenger and more — the real apps, with every conversation, photo and voice note, opened in a window. A badge shows who's waiting.
Messages and calls
Text and call from your keyboard.
Read and answer your texts, see who's calling, answer or decline from your Mac, and hear the call through your Mac's speakers.
Gallery and files
Your photos, without the cable dance.
Browse every photo and video, drag them to the Finder, or save a batch as JPEG or HEIC. Send files to your phone by dropping them in.
Notifications
Never reach for your phone again.
Your phone's notifications appear in Notification Center. Reply inline, use the app's own buttons, and clear them on both at once.
Everything on your phone.
Right where you work.
Your calls and contacts, favourites first.
Recents, missed calls and every contact. Call anyone from your keyboard.

Big files, both ways, by drag and drop.

Getting connected
Plug in once. Then forget the cable.
Start with a cable for everything, or scan one code for notifications, calls, files and the clipboard. Either way, PhoneDesq finds your phone on your Wi-Fi from then on.
Cable
Everything, including your phone's screen and apps. Turn on one phone setting once, and PhoneDesq walks you through it.
Scan one code
No settings to change: point your phone's camera at the code on your Mac. Notifications, calls, files, photos and the clipboard.
Then Wi-Fi
Unplug any time. PhoneDesq reconnects over your Wi-Fi by itself — and over Bluetooth where there's no shared network.
Local by design
Between your phone and your Mac. Nobody else.
Your messages, photos, calls and screen travel straight from your phone to your Mac — over the cable or your own Wi-Fi, encrypted. No account to make, no cloud in the middle, nothing to sync to anyone's servers.
No accountDownload and connect. That's it.
No cloudYour phone's data never leaves your Mac.
EncryptedWi-Fi links are end-to-end encrypted and pinned to your devices.
One small exceptionTo check a licence, the app sends the key, a random ID for your Mac, its name and the app's version. Never anything about your phone.
Good questions. Straight answers.
