Android mirroring questions, answered clearly.

DroidLink is a Windows desktop app for Android screen mirroring and phone control. It shows your real phone screen on your PC, forwards keyboard and touch input, and includes notifications, files, clipboard sync, Gallery, calls, and SMS in one workspace. Phone screen and media traffic stay on USB or your local network — not DroidLink cloud servers.

Yes. DroidLink targets the same local mirroring idea as scrcpy, but ships a full Windows GUI and productivity features (notifications inbox, file transfers, clipboard sync, Gallery, calls/SMS, media controls). Free includes USB mirroring; Pro adds wireless connection, higher mirror quality, screen recording, an external mirror window, unlimited file transfers, and full Gallery media.

Wireless connection over your local network is a DroidLink Pro feature. Free focuses on USB mirroring and core controls. Wireless traffic still stays on your LAN — DroidLink does not route your phone screen through the cloud.

DroidLink Free is £0 forever for core USB mirroring and essential tools. DroidLink Pro is a perpetual licence currently offered at £14.99 (limited-time; list price £29.99). Pro includes two Windows PC activations, one year of newly released versions, and indefinite offline use of eligible builds. There is no subscription.

No for phone content. Your Android screen, files, notifications, clipboard, gallery, and media controls stay on USB or LAN. DroidLink servers only handle purchases, licence delivery, activation, updates, and transactional email.

DroidLink is local-first: mirroring and phone workflows are designed to stay on your PC and network. AirDroid emphasises cloud/remote access features. Vysor is another desktop mirroring tool; DroidLink differentiates with a broader desktop workspace (notifications, files, Gallery, calls/SMS, clipboard) plus a perpetual Pro licence model and explicit local-privacy positioning.

Download the free Windows installer from the DroidLink website (Windows 10/11, 64-bit). No account is required to use Free. After purchase, activate Pro inside the app under Settings → License using your purchase email and licence key.

Install DroidLink, open Settings → License, enter the purchase email from checkout, and paste the licence key from your licence email. Pro unlocks on that PC and continues working offline for eligible builds. One licence covers two Windows PC activations.
