## What it is
sndcpy is a proof-of-concept tool that forwards audio from an Android 10+ device to a computer over ADB, without root, playing it via VLC. It was created to add audio to scrcpy mirroring, though scrcpy 2.0 now supports audio natively.

## Use cases
- forward android audio to my computer
- play android device sound on pc over usb
- mirror android audio alongside scrcpy
- capture audio playback from android apps without root
- stream phone audio to linux windows or mac

## When to choose
- you need audio forwarding from an Android 10+ device without root and can't use scrcpy 2.0+
- you want a lightweight standalone tool that works on Linux, Windows, and macOS

## When to avoid
- you use scrcpy 2.0 or later, which supports audio forwarding natively
- the apps you want to capture disallow audio playback capture
- you need a polished, actively developed solution rather than a proof-of-concept
