Android utility screengrab of scrcpy

Being online most of the day, or at least in front of screens all day, a utility I use quite a bit is scrcpy.

It's a cool little utility to pipe the video and audio of your Android phone on your desktop.

• You can also copy and paste back and forth between the phone and computer
• Video recording is trivial
• You can limit the framerate if performance is an issue, or if you're going to capture multiple devices at once, both for display and recording.

This application is definitely a great example of the Unix philosophy of "Do one thing, and do it well"... The audio is forwarded so well that I was able to make a phone call using my computer's audio and mic without thinking about it much.

The whole experience with scrcpy is really simple and effective. If I'm spending some time in front of the screen and I need to pay attention to my phone, scrcpy is a great way to keep my attention on only one device.

One thing about scrcpy is the absolutely weird number of sites that describe scrpy, but have nothing to do with the software itself.
