## What it is
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
