[App] DeskDock

DeskDockDeskDock 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.

Use your computer’s mouse with your Android devices
Share clipboard between computer and 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

This app can 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.
The shared clipboard could be considered an Android-equivalent to the universal clipboard between iOS and macOS.

This app requires a free server application to run on your computer that can be downloaded here: https://bit.ly/DeskDockServer. 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: Please be aware that this is an early version of this application. Bugs and issues 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.

DeskDock user reviews :

This looks like it isn’t coping with a Windows 10 high def display laptop (Lenovo T470s) attached to a normal def monitor. When at the screen border it seems to be fighting a bit, with some video blinking, and although connected I have seen no mouse pointer (with or without the workaround ticked) on the Android (8, Oneplus 3T) screen. Would love to have this working!

Hey! I enjoy the app and am excited that it works quice nice actually! But I have some suggestion in order for me to commit to purchacing your app, as at this stage, your app does not have too many features that would be so much convenient and also appreciated by many industries. My strong suggestion is to add keyboard typing transfer when on the Android device. This would make things so much easier! I was really surprised to see that there is not transfer of what I’m typing on my PC keyboard. Another strong suggestion would be to have a real-time video feed of the device! Either for screen capture from the PC, or just to see the screen when you cannot directly look at your Android device. Also, there is a bug which does not allow my device to connect to the server which is caused by old ADB version. It took me a good 40 minutes to get it to work. Hopefully I was somewhat helpful to you and I hope you can implement the features I suggested! (Of course leave the video-feed for last, as it surely is hard to implement) In a near future I would gladly buy the pro version to have all the avesomeness!

Nice A very well thought utility and a very responsive developer. Just, the full app is way too expensive for what it does.

This is exactly what I have been waiting for. The app essentially extends your desktop onto the Android device when connected via USB. The mouse and keyboard (keyboard requires paid version) work smoothly as if the device is just another monitor. The server application that runs on your computer is free and portable (no installation required). Depending on your device, it may require some fine tuning with USB drivers, but that’s what the free version is for, and the developer is very active providing assistance.

Appears to work as stated, but would be nice for the phone screen put put on your Desktop so you don’t even need to look at the phone like with Samsung SideSync. Instructions can be somewhat clearer in my opinion. But still purchased the app. Update: This is working fine at this time. Thank You

  • Please send me an email and I’ll give my best to help. It clearly says JRE 1.7+ is needed on the server download page.

Very nice and useful app. Read the setup instructions well and you are good to go. The developer responded very quickly to my queries and assisted me in installing.
