Description
droidVNC-NG is an open-source VNC server app for local networks. Here's what you can do with it:
- View your Android device remotely with optional screen scaling for better performance.
- Remote-control your Android device with mouse and keyboard (for keyboard Latin-1 charset plus some special keys, supporting any kind of UI widget on Android 14 and newer, on older devices into EditText widgets only). To enable this, you need to activate the AccessibilityService for the app on your device.
- Copy text from a VNC viewer and paste it to your Android device. Server-to-client copy & paste works automatically for text selected in editable text fields or manually by sharing text to droidVNC-NG via Android's Share-To functionality.
- Use keyboard shortcuts to trigger 'Recent Apps' overview, Home, Back, Power, and volume controls.
- Transfer files between an Android device and computer using TightVNC viewer for Windows version 1.3.x.
- Secure your connection with a password. Note that setting a password is mandatory in case you want to access the server using MacOS's built-in Screen Sharing app.
- Choose a custom port for the VNC server.
- Start the server automatically when your Android device boots. On Android 11 and newer this also works with kiosk-mode launchers and lock task mode.
- Connect from your Android device to a listening VNC viewer without opening ports on your router.
- Connect to a UltraVNC-style Mode-2 repeater for remote access through a mediator server.
- Pre-configure default settings via a JSON file or Mobile Device Management.
- Discover your device automatically on the local network via Zeroconf/Bonjour.
- See individual mouse pointers for each connected client on your device.
- Control your Android device directly from any web browser using the built-in noVNC client — no separate VNC viewer required.

Easiest remote screen around, if you already use VNC. It took about 2 minutes to get running on Android 14.
★★★★★Thomas Summers· Sep 20, 2024
Works perfect. I hate typing on the small phone keyboards, so I have been looking for a remote option. Works great!. I currently use it when on my lan and with real vnc viewer. Well done. !!!

Been looking for a VNC Server for Android for many years. This one works without root. Simply amazing!
★★☆☆☆Ross Little· May 19, 2026
Okay but you can't tell it which network interface to bind to. Which means if you have a vpn like tail scale you can't tell it to bind just to that interface. Instead, it binds to all interfaces. Even those publicly exposed.

Quite complicated setup, then - rather lacking in responsiveness. Even premium phone, WiFi6, etc. Seen better from Phone Link, Team Viewer, etc.
★☆☆☆☆Dana Nutter· May 7, 2025
It works until it doesn't! It connects and does what I want but as soon as the screensaver locks, it's just a blank screen with no way to unlock so useless since I have to go get the phone anyway.
