ARCUS

Arcus puts your Android phone on your Mac. Plug in the USB cable and your phone appears in a window. See it, hear it, and drive it with your Mac's mouse and keyboard while the phone itself stays fully usable. WHAT IT DOES • See your phone on your Mac, in a resizable window you can pin on top. • Control it with your mouse and keyboard. Tap, click-drag, scroll and type, including Mac keyboard shortcuts. • Hear your phone through your Mac's speakers. • Get your phone's notifications on your Mac, with the app's name and icon. • Copy on one device and paste on the other, both directions. • Drag files across. Drop a file on the window to send it to your phone, or share a file on your phone to pull it to your Mac. HOW IT WORKS This app is the free phone half of Arcus. It sets up the connection and then gets out of your way, so you can close it and mirroring keeps working. The Mac app is a separate one-time purchase from our website. Setup is three steps: install both apps, turn on USB debugging with the guide built into this app, and plug in the cable. PRIVACY Arcus has no servers. Your screen, input, audio, notifications, clipboard and files move only between your phone and your own Mac, over the cable. Nothing is sent to us, because there is nowhere for it to go. No account is needed. ABOUT WI-FI Wi-Fi mirroring is included and carries picture and sound, but its quality depends entirely on your network, and some networks cannot carry a video stream at all. Arcus tells you when yours can't. The USB cable is always smooth, and is needed to control the phone. REQUIREMENTS • A Mac running macOS 13 or later, with the Arcus Mac app. • A USB cable, and USB debugging enabled once.
