PlainCast lets you mirror your Android screen to a browser in real time, without requiring a dedicated receiver app.

Simply start screen mirroring on your Android device and open the provided address in a browser. Your screen appears directly in the browser over your local network.

Features:
• Real-time Android screen mirroring
• Works with phones, tablets, and browser-based displays
• No cloud service required
• No account required
• Local network connection
• Simple browser-based receiver
• Designed for low-latency screen sharing

PlainCast is useful for presentations, demonstrations, remote viewing, in-car displays, and sharing your Android screen on a larger screen.

Your screen stays on your local network and is not uploaded to a cloud service.

AccessibilityService API
PlainCast uses Android's AccessibilityService API for optional Touch Control. After you enable it, commands from the connected browser are translated into taps, long presses, swipes, scrolling, and system navigation on your Android device. During built-in wireless debugging setup, the service can read the pairing code and address shown in Android's pairing dialog to help complete pairing. Accessibility permission is optional for screen viewing, and you can disable the service at any time in Android Settings.

VpnService API
In Tesla mode, PlainCast uses Android's VpnService API to assign a local virtual IP address to the phone so the car browser can connect directly over the phone's hotspot. This is a local connection, not a remote VPN service. The VPN interface does not read, inspect, or forward other apps' traffic, or collect browsing data. Screen sharing uses HTTPS directly between the browser and the phone. The VPN service stops when the sharing session ends.
