Some users want the bigger screen and faster workflow of a computer while keeping their Android workflows on connected phones, tablets, or emulator instances. LaiCai connects those Android targets to a desktop workspace.

  • Keep apps and games running on Android devices or emulators.
  • Use a larger PC or Mac screen for repeated work.
  • Control supported workflows with mouse, keyboard, or gamepad.
  • Capture screenshots and recordings for tutorials, QA, support, or content.
  • Group multiple Android targets when your workflow needs more than one device or instance.
