droidVNC-NG VNC Server Description

droidVNC-NG is an open-source VNC server app for local networks. Here's what you can do with it:

- View your Android device remotely with optional screen scaling for better performance.

- Remote-control your Android device with mouse and keyboard (for keyboard Latin-1 charset plus some special keys, supporting any kind of UI widget on Android 14 and newer, on older devices into EditText widgets only). To enable this, you need to activate the AccessibilityService for the app on your device.

- Copy text from a VNC viewer and paste it to your Android device. Server-to-client copy & paste works automatically for text selected in editable text fields or manually by sharing text to droidVNC-NG via Android's Share-To functionality.

- Use keyboard shortcuts to trigger 'Recent Apps' overview, Home, Back, Power, and volume controls.

- Transfer files between an Android device and computer using TightVNC viewer for Windows version 1.3.x.

- Secure your connection with a password. Note that setting a password is mandatory in case you want to access the server using MacOS's built-in Screen Sharing app.

- Choose a custom port for the VNC server.

- Start the server automatically when your Android device boots. On Android 11 and newer this also works with kiosk-mode launchers and lock task mode.

- Connect from your Android device to a listening VNC viewer without opening ports on your router.

- Connect to a UltraVNC-style Mode-2 repeater for remote access through a mediator server.

- Pre-configure default settings via a JSON file or Mobile Device Management.

- Discover your device automatically on the local network via Zeroconf/Bonjour.

- See individual mouse pointers for each connected client on your device.

- Control your Android device directly from any web browser using the built-in noVNC client — no separate VNC viewer required.

Comments about droidVNC-NG VNC Server Android Version

Hot Damn! What I needed. When I needed it. In good working order. PNP: Start it, Avahi it, Connect it, BAM! I tried a number of widely known alternatives that required accounts, complex configs, scripted installs, and constant nags to purchase yearly subscriptions. It's software, people, buy it, use it. And I don't need 64 bit encryption to run on my LAN, sorry, I just dont. FOSS FOREVER! SIGTERM
This app isn't perfect, BUT it's the best free and open source vnc server for Android. edit: Author said it is VNC itself not the app that has the limitation on password being longer than 8 characters.
It's so far from real vnc For example, on Android TVs, when the TV is turned off and on, it does not start automatically, and recording must be started, and the mouse function is completely disabled on Android TV.
