Editor's Overview

droidVNC-NG is a connectivity application developed by Christian Beier, packaged as a single Android APK of version 2.2 weighing in at 10.01 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 10.01 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Christian Beier" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Turn your Android device into a remote-controlled workstation with droidVNC-NG, a powerful, open-source VNC server designed for local networks. This app offers a versatile solution for remote access.

💻 Remote Control & Interaction

• Screen Sharing: Share your device's screen over the network, with optional scaling on the server side for better performance.
• Remote Control: Use your VNC client to control your device, including mouse and keyboard input. To enable this, you need to activate the AccessibilityService for the app on your device.
• Special Key Functions: Remotely trigger key functions like 'Recent Apps,' Home button, Back button, Power and volume controls.
• Text Copy & Paste: Support for copying and pasting text from your device to the VNC client. Note that 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.
• Multiple Mouse Pointers: Display different mouse pointers for each connected client on your device.

🌴 Comfort Features

• Web Browser Access: Control your device’s shared screen directly from a web browser, without needing a separate VNC client.
• Auto-Discovery: droidVNC-NG uses Zeroconf/Bonjour for easy discovery by native clients.

🔐 Security & Configuration

• Password Protection: Protect your VNC 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.
• Custom Port Settings: Choose which port the VNC server uses for connections.
• Startup on Boot: Automatically start the VNC service when your device boots up. On Android 11 and newer this also works with kiosk-mode launchers and lock task mode.
• Default Configuration: Load a default configuration from a JSON file or Mobile Device Management.

🚀 Advanced VNC Features

• Reverse VNC: Allow your device to initiate the VNC connection to a client without opening ports on your router.
• Repeater Support: Connect to a repeater that supports UltraVNC-style Mode-2 for more flexible networking.

Is droidVNC-NG free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.
