Description

DeskDock allows you to share your computer's mouse with your Android devices via a USB cable. The app enables you to control your Android device as if it was an additional monitor for your computer. Simply move your computer's mouse cursor over the screen boundaries to use it with your Android devices.

As seen on lifehacker.com, androidpolice.com, androidauthority.com and many more!

Features:
• Use your computer's mouse with your Android devices
• Share clipboard between computer and Android devices
• Supports Windows, Linux and macOS
• Works on all Android versions starting from 4.1
• NO rooted device required
• Shortcut for simulating multitouch
• Connect multiple Android devices to one computer
• Flexible arrangement of devices
• Customizable mouse button actions
• Customizable mouse pointer speed

PRO Version
A PRO version is separately available with these additional features:
• Use your computer's keyboard with your Android devices
• Drag and Drop: Urls will be opened automatically, APKs will be installed (Drag and Drop does not work with Linux server)
• Additional shortcuts for turning off screen, quickly changing volume, screen brightness
• No ads

DeskDock can be considered the Android equivalent of Universal Control, the feature that implements similar functionality in iPadOS and macOS.

This app could also be described as an unofficial successor to ShareKM, or an Android version of Synergy. It could also be described as a Virtual KVM Switch or a Software KVM Switch solution.

On Android O and beyond, this app uses an Accessibility Service to display a mouse cursor above the System UI. This service is used exclusively for the described purpose and is an integral requirement to provide a consistent user experience for the users of the application, in particular those who suffer from motor impairment.

This app requires a free server application to run on your computer that can be downloaded here: http://bit.ly/DeskDockServerW. The Java Runtime version 1.7 or later is needed on the computer. Depending on your system, device drivers may have to be installed.


Important: Bugs and problems might cross your way. If something does not work, please do not write bad reviews, but send an email to the support email address listed below or in the app so I actually have a chance to help you or fix the issues. Thanks!

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

5 ★Very useful!
5 ★Works as it should. Remember to activate the accesibility service and to install the driver for your phone. I bought the full version very fast.
2 ★App is too good, the problem is sometimes it doesn't work and whenever it does, the keyboard feature is pro so it's a lot of problem it would be too good it was free too
1 ★Not working,
1 ★Uninstalled. App rarely works w/ serious side effects abound! Slows my phone even when not in use. Spams error messages but doesn't give any details, just: "something went wrong with desk dock" "desk dock not responding" "force close desk dock", and "try clear cache" --- Original review was 5 stars: I can use my computer mouse with my phone! This app works great. Took a lot of effort and guesswork to get it set up, though. But it does work, so don't give up. Read and re-read the instructions. L
1 ★Unable to download desktop app. Marked as virus
1 ★Windows app is flagged as a virus
5 ★I've used DeskDock (Pro) on my phone/tablet together with my Linux laptop for years. It's the only app that also supports Linux. In addition to keyboard support, the Pro integrates to Barrier and Synergy KVM server as client. This adds the super power to use the same keyboard/mouse for multiple Android, Linux, Windows or macOS devices at the same time by just dragging the cursor. How cool is that? 😎
1 ★Server program contains a virus caught by Windows Defender
1 ★Does not work with One UI 6.0. Please fix it ASAP
