A small setup.A better flow.

Find your next step, from the first pairing to your everyday connection.

Pair once over Wi-Fi.

Use the same reachable Wi-Fi network for the first pairing. Install the Windows app and Android companion, then open both.

  1. Open pairing on your PC.

    Find the PC’s pairing QR code in PhoneBridger.

  2. Scan from the Android companion.

    Use the companion’s QR scanner, then approve your computer on the phone.

  3. Choose your phone’s screen edge.

    Place it left, right or above your PC. Enable mouse control on Android and set the matching position and transition zone.

Your pairing is saved for next time. Ordinary disconnection or a USB/Wi-Fi switch does not remove it. Choosing Forget computer removes saved trust and requires pairing again.

Prefer a cable?
Prepare USB once.

First finish the Wi-Fi pairing above. Then use a data-capable USB cable and Android’s USB debugging authorization.

  1. Enable developer options and USB debugging.

    Android’s settings labels vary by phone. Use your device’s developer options to enable USB debugging.

  2. Connect and authorize this PC.

    Approve the Android authorization prompt only for a computer you trust.

  3. Keep PhoneBridger open.

    After preparation, USB is preferred automatically. Unplugging restores Wi-Fi when your saved phone is reachable.

The current beta discovers one physical USB phone at a time. Additional phones can connect over Wi-Fi. The two transports share the same feature engine.

Your permissions.
Your choice.

Accessibility access allows the Android companion to perform mouse and keyboard actions. The companion guides you to the relevant setting.

Phone audio sharing has a separate Android system approval. It requires Android 10 or newer and an app that permits audio capture; not all apps do. Enable it when you want to listen through the PC.

Allow camera access when using the QR scanner. Do not share a pairing QR or authorize an unfamiliar computer.

What’s in this beta?

  • Mouse and keyboard control for up to three paired Android phones.
  • Supported phone audio through the PC, with separate permission.
  • Supported Google links handed to the phone’s installed app, with browser fallback.
  • Automatic USB preference and Wi-Fi fallback.

Chrome tab handoff uses the extension included in the Windows ZIP. Follow its included setup instructions. Native file dragging, macOS/iPhone companions, production Windows signing and Google Play distribution are not included.

The website’s sample apps do not connect to your real accounts. They illustrate the workflow with local sample data.
