Deskreen is an open-source Electron desktop application that streams your computer screen to any device with a web browser over WiFi using WebRTC, with end-to-end encryption. It can mirror the entire screen, share a single app window, or act as a true second screen when paired with a virtual display adapter.

Use cases

• turn my tablet into a second monitor for my laptop
• share my screen to a smart tv browser over wifi
• present a single app window to multiple devices
• use my phone as a teleprompter during video calls
• mirror my desktop to an ipad without cables
• screen share offline on a local network with no internet

When to choose

• you want a free, open-source way to extend or mirror your display to any browser device
• you need screen sharing over WiFi without installing client apps on receiving devices
• you need offline screen sharing on a local network
• you want end-to-end encrypted screen streaming

When to avoid

• you need low-latency remote control or touch input on the receiving device
• you need USB or cable-based display extension
• you need advanced features like multiple devices, custom ports, or auto-reconnect without paying for the Pro version
• you need a lightweight CLI tool rather than a GUI desktop app
