Gadesk

Gadesk turns your phone's own screen into a desktop — no external monitor, no cable.

• On Samsung Galaxy, it runs real Samsung DeX.
• On Google Pixel 8 and later, it runs Android's built-in desktop mode.

On a Galaxy Z Fold, the large inner display becomes a full desktop.

Free version
This free version shows ads, and each session runs up to 15 minutes. Watch a short video to add 10 more minutes (up to 65 minutes total). A paid version, Gadesk Pro, removes ads and the time limit.

Supported devices
• Samsung Galaxy with Samsung DeX (Galaxy Z Fold, Galaxy S series, etc.)
• Google Pixel 8 and later (Android desktop mode)
• Android 16 or later recommended

Features
• A real desktop on your phone's own screen — no monitor, no cable
• Galaxy Z Fold: use the wide inner screen as a desktop
• Run several resizable windows side by side, PC-style
• Mac-like trackpad: tap to click, double-tap, tap-and-drag, two-finger tap for right click, two-finger scroll, pinch to zoom
• Touch the screen directly, or switch to a virtual trackpad anytime
• Record just the desktop screen to a video (screen recorder built in)
• Volume and brightness sliders in the on-screen control panel
• Save a window layout and open several apps at once
• Keep apps opening on the large screen (moves them over automatically)
• Lock orientation, resolution / DPI, and automatic fit per device
• Available in English, Japanese, Chinese and Korean

Setup
• A one-time "Wireless debugging" pairing on first launch (guided in the app; no PC needed)

Notes
• This app is not an official Samsung or Google app
• Support depends on the device model and OS version
• The accessibility permission is used only to draw the desktop image on your screen; it does not read the content of other apps and collects no personal data
• Some system panels (notifications, screen recording dialog) open on the phone screen by design; the app lets you reach them and come back
