Beyond Phone Sync

Puts your Android phones on your Windows screen and lets you work them with your mouse and keyboard, as many as you have. Set a phone up once, and after that it reconnects over Wi-Fi by itself or starts from a button on the phone.

Requirements

  • Windows 11
  • Android 11 or later
  • Both devices on the same network

Installing

See Installing a Beyond application for what the installer does and where it puts things. Your computer checks the download for you, and that page also shows how to check it yourself if you would rather.

Features

Use the phone from your desktop

The mirror is live, not a picture. Click, drag and type on the phone from your PC with a full size keyboard.

Copy and paste both ways

Copy text off the phone’s screen and paste it on the PC, or paste from the PC straight into the phone, right in the mirror.

As many phones as you have

Mirror every phone you own. It finds the phones on your Wi-Fi and marks the ones that are ready, and each one keeps the name you give it.

Set up once, then Wi-Fi

The first setup pairs with a QR code, so there is no address to type. From then on the PC finds the phone on your Wi-Fi and reconnects by itself.

Start it from the phone

A button on the phone puts its screen on your monitor. You do not have to walk over to the desktop and open anything first.

Your network only

The picture goes straight from the phone to your PC over your own network. No account, no cloud, and no relay through somebody else’s server.

Known limits

  • Wireless debugging has to be switched on once in the phone’s developer options.
  • The first setup needs a USB cable, once.

Licensing

Beyond Phone Sync uses the standard Beyond licence: checked on your own machine, with your devices managed by you. See Licences and activation.
