Transform your Android device into a complete desktop experience.
Android DEX is a free, closed-source desktop application for Windows, Linux, and macOS that lets you run Android apps in resizable desktop-style windows, mirror screens, stream per-app audio, manage notifications, control media playback, and game with native keyboard and mouse input — all using high-performance ADB and companion services over USB or Wi-Fi.

Experience true desktop-grade gaming with zero emulator detection. Because games execute directly on your physical Android hardware and touch events are passed via low-level native protocols, anti-cheat systems recognize your device as a genuine mobile phone—giving you full access to native mobile lobbies without emulator bans or restrictions.

Android DEX is a closed-source application built on top of industry-standard open-source libraries and native platform frameworks:
- ADB — Android Debug Bridge – Core protocol for device communication, wireless pairing, and ADB command execution.
- scrcpy – High-performance, low-latency screen mirroring and remote input control for Android devices.
- Flutter – Cross-platform UI framework used to build the desktop client.
- Kotlin – Powers the companion Android service, media listener, and settings UI.
Special thanks to rom1v for their foundational contributions to the open-source ADB and scrcpy ecosystems, which provided critical architectural insights for this project.
