CLUSTER ANDROID-CLIENT-REMOTE · 7 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2019-02-09
Android remote desktop tools
This cluster covers Android apps for remote desktop control, VNC connectivity, and using a phone as a keyboard, mouse, or clipboard for a connected desktop. The dated entries span September 2018 to July 2025 with exactly one entry in each of seven months, showing a sparse, sporadic pattern with no discernible trend. The traction leaders are AVNC, droidVNC-NG, and Device Connect, though all show zero stars, so activity is minimal.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 7 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
