Plug in the USB cable and your phone appears in a window. See it, hear it,
and drive it with your Mac's mouse and keyboard while the phone itself stays
fully usable.

WHAT IT DOES

• See your phone on your Mac, in a resizable window you can pin on top.
• Control it with your mouse and keyboard. Tap, click-drag, scroll and type,
including Mac keyboard shortcuts.
• Hear your phone through your Mac's speakers.
• Get your phone's notifications on your Mac, with the app's name and icon.
• Copy on one device and paste on the other, both directions.
• Drag files across. Drop a file on the window to send it to your phone, or
share a file on your phone to pull it to your Mac.

HOW IT WORKS

This app is the free phone half of Arcus. It sets up the connection and then
gets out of your way, so you can close it and mirroring keeps working. The Mac
app is a separate one-time purchase from our website.

Setup is three steps: install both apps, turn on USB debugging with the guide
built into this app, and plug in the cable.

PRIVACY

Arcus has no servers. Your screen, input, audio, notifications, clipboard and
files move only between your phone and your own Mac, over the cable. Nothing
is sent to us, because there is nowhere for it to go. No account is needed.

ABOUT WI-FI

Wi-Fi mirroring is included and carries picture and sound, but its quality
depends entirely on your network, and some networks cannot carry a video
stream at all. Arcus tells you when yours can't. The USB cable is always
smooth, and is needed to control the phone.

REQUIREMENTS

• A Mac running macOS 13 or later, with the Arcus Mac app.
• A USB cable, and USB debugging enabled once. ## Rankings - #2,393,989 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJECTION` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MICROPHONE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.arcus.app.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [LinkMyMac](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kdg.beam_android) — 20,565 users, 4.57 / 5 - [Phone Mirror - Android to PC](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.tenorshare.phonemirror) — 234,174 users, 2.50 / 5 - [Airdroidfy](https://chrome-stats.com/d/dev.airdroidfy.app) — 5 users - [Arc: File Transfer & Share](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.quadren.arc) — 1,114,386 users, 4.01 / 5 - [Alongside](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kuarasoft.alongside) - [Mirrord: Mirror to Computer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.github.strid3r21.mirrord) — 6 users - [Waslane: Android to Mac/iPad](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.waslane) — 37 users - [MacMirror: Android to Mac](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.angelsoft.macmirror) — 38 users - [Pentagram Airplay](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.pentagram.airplay) — 247 users - [Ember – Android to Mac Sync](https://chrome-stats.com/d/dev.balakumar.ember) — 1 users - [ApowerMirror- Screen Mirroring](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.apowersoft.mirror) — 24,033,245 users, 2.77 / 5 - [Link my Android to my Mac](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.linkmydroid.app) — 104 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.arcus.app)
