Publicly Auditable Code
A global community of developers and security experts has audited the code since 2018.
Community Contributions
Bug fixes and features are submitted, reviewed, and merged in the open by volunteers.
No Telemetry
ScreenBridge does not collect usage data, crash reports, or any personal information.
No Malware Clarification
ScreenBridge contains no malware, no spyware, no adware, and no potentially unwanted programs. The software has been distributed to millions of users worldwide and has maintained a clean security record since its initial release.
Verified Clean
ScreenBridge has zero security incidents in its entire history. The code is reviewed by the community before every release.
If your antivirus flags ScreenBridge, this is a known false positive caused by the software's legitimate use of ADB to communicate with Android devices. We recommend whitelisting ScreenBridge or building from source if you have any concerns.
