Install and run scrcpy on macOS

Download a static build of the latest release:

and extract it.

Static builds of scrcpy for macOS are still experimental.

Scrcpy is available in Homebrew:

Terminal window
brew install scrcpy

You need adb, accessible from your PATH. If you don’t have it yet:

Terminal window
brew install --cask android-platform-tools

Alternatively, Scrcpy is also available in MacPorts, which sets up adb for you:

Terminal window
sudo port install scrcpy

See build.md to build and install the app manually.

Make sure that your device meets the prerequisites.

Once installed, run from a terminal:

Terminal window
scrcpy

or with arguments (here to disable audio and record to file.mkv):

Terminal window
scrcpy --no-audio --record=file.mkv

Documentation for command line arguments is available:
