Mac-Android second display tools

This cluster comprises utilities that turn Android devices into second displays, touchpads, keyboards, or screen mirrors for Macs, with some also enabling input and stylus support. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from – it predates the index or its members are undated. Among members with activity signals, mirror-kit leads with 10 stars, followed by scrcpy-viewer (2 stars) and tab-display (1 star).
