Vysor - Mirror and Control your Phone

This repo is the marketing website for Vysor, a commercial product that mirrors and controls Android/iOS devices from a desktop browser or native app using WebUSB and ADB. The actual application code lives elsewhere — what you're looking at is a Jekyll-generated landing page with download links and a changelog. Stars reflect the product's popularity, not this repo's code.

The product itself has genuine technical depth: WebUSB mirroring without a separate driver install is non-trivial, and the WebAssembly h264 decoder as a fallback to native codecs is a real engineering decision worth noting. iOS mirroring on Windows/Linux (v4.1.x) using a Bluetooth HID dongle for control is a clever workaround for Apple's lockdown. The changelog is unusually honest about what changed and why.

This GitHub repo contains zero application code — it's a static marketing site with minified jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome from 2015-era tooling including IE8/IE9 shims. The actual Vysor client and server are closed-source. Last commit was July 2024 and the issue tracker is likely a graveyard for bugs that will never be fixed since the product has moved to a freemium model. Anyone starring this expecting to learn from or contribute to the mirroring implementation will find nothing here.
