Install
- Download the disk image and open it.
- Drag MirrorDroid onto the Applications folder.
- Open it. The first time, macOS blocks apps that aren't notarized yet: go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.
Prepare your phone
- On the phone, open Settings → About phone and tap Build number seven times to unlock Developer options.
- Open Developer options and turn on USB debugging.
- Connect the phone with a data cable and accept the "Allow USB debugging?" prompt on the phone.
The in-app guide shows the exact menu names for Samsung, Xiaomi, Pixel, OnePlus, Vivo and Oppo.
Wireless
Connect once over USB, open Wireless in the sidebar and follow the pairing steps. Phone and Mac must be on the same network.
Something not working?
Open Connection Doctor in the sidebar. It checks the bundled tools, the cable connection and the phone's authorisation.
Questions
Is MirrorDroid free?
Yes. Every feature is free and unlocked, with no account or payment details. If that ever changes, existing users will be told first.
Do I need to root my phone?
No. MirrorDroid uses Android's standard USB and wireless debugging, which every phone has.
How is it different from using scrcpy directly?
scrcpy by Genymobile is an excellent free command-line tool. If you're comfortable in a terminal, use it directly. MirrorDroid wraps it in a Mac app with device detection, settings you can click, wireless pairing and a setup guide.
Does it work over Wi-Fi?
Yes. Pair once over USB, then connect wirelessly on the same local network.
