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.

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.
