Your Android phone on your Mac — mirror it, control it, run its apps in windows of their own, open its files in Finder, and create Android VMs with no Android Studio. A native macOS app built on Google's own on-device agent, driven over adb.

Install

1. Download rPlayHubAndroid-1.0.dmg below, open it, drag the app to Applications.
2. On the phone: enable Developer options ▸ USB debugging, plug in over USB (or connect over Wi‑Fi), and accept the prompt.
3. Click the device in the sidebar. That's it — no drivers, nothing installed on the phone beyond the session agent.

The app is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens without Gatekeeper warnings.

What it does

• Mirror and control — the phone's screen live, hardware-decoded; clicks are touches, the keyboard types, rotation follows the device.
• Android apps in Mac windows — open any app on its own virtual display, several at once; or Android's whole Desktop Mode in a window, while the phone keeps mirroring.
• An app as a Desktop icon — double-click it to open that app on the phone.
• The 3D device twin — a gyro-tracked 3D phone with the live mirror on its glass (experimental).
• Audio, clipboard, files — the phone's sound on the Mac, clipboard both ways, /sdcard in Finder, drag-and-drop and a share-to-Mac companion app.
• Emulators and VMs — host a running AVD over gRPC, or Create Android VM downloads and boots a virtual Pixel in about a minute (no Android Studio, no JDK).
• Old devices — Android 5.0–7.1 boards (car units, set-top boxes) mirror through a small agent of our own.

Requirements

• macOS 13+ on Apple Silicon or Intel.
• An Android device with USB debugging, or an emulator. adb is bundled.

Linux and Windows clients are in progress; a Raspberry Pi build follows.
