Sandbox preview — gated on security & licensing review
An AI-built experiment from TIMxAI
Your Android, on your Mac, with an AI co-pilot.
Bridgewire mirrors your Android device on macOS, relays messages and calls, and adds something the existing tools don’t: an on-device assistant that reads what’s happening across both screens and quietly offers the next step — before you have to ask.
Local-first. Screen, messages, and AI inference stay on your devices.
Honest about state. This is a sandbox; not yet cleared for general use.
No native iOS path. Bridgewire is Android-to-macOS by design.
What Bridgewire is — and what it isn’t
What it is
An open-source-style sandbox combining scrcpy-style screen mirror, ADB device control, and a KDE-Connect-style relay for notifications, messages, and calls.
A native Swift macOS client that treats your Android device as a first-class window on your desktop.
An on-device AI “co-pilot” that watches cross-device context and proposes actions you can accept, edit, or ignore.
What it isn’t
Not a path to running an iPhone on macOS. Bridgewire is Android-to-macOS only.
Not a cloud product. Nothing on your phone is uploaded to a server by Bridgewire.
Not shipping. This is a preview, gated on security review and a licensing pass for upstream components.

Here’s what Bridgewire will do
Bridgewire is a bridge between two devices you already own. Before it does anything, you decide what you want it to do.
Mirror your phone screen
Using scrcpy and ADB over USB or your local Wi-Fi. The pixels go from your phone to your Mac — and nowhere else.
Relay messages and calls
Inspired by KDE Connect. Read and reply to SMS / RCS from your Mac; pick up and route calls through your Mac’s audio.
Share clipboard and files
Copy on one device, paste on the other. Drop a file on the Mac window, it lands on the phone (and vice versa).
Offer an AI co-pilot
An on-device assistant that watches what’s happening on both screens and suggests cross-device actions. You can turn it off entirely.
Choose what to share
Every capability is opt-in and revocable. Bridgewire works with whatever you turn on — the AI co-pilot just has less to suggest.
What Bridgewire never does
Some products earn trust by what they do. Others by what they refuse to do. We try to do both.
×No cloud upload of your screen. Frames go phone → Mac over your LAN. They never reach our servers because we don’t have any.
×No reading messages off-device. Message contents are decrypted only on the two paired devices.
×No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party scripts. Bridgewire has no opinions about which buttons you press.
×No AI training on you. The AI co-pilot runs locally; suggestions, drafts, and reasoning never leave your machine.
×No silent background access. If a capability is off, the relevant subsystem doesn’t start.
Pair your Android device
Open the Bridgewire companion app on your Android device, then scan the QR or enter the code. Your Mac and phone need to be on the same Wi-Fi.
Demo QR — not a real pairing token.

Scenario: A normal afternoon. Watch how the AI co-pilot reads what’s happening on the phone and turns it into one-click actions on the Mac. Nothing here uses the network — it’s all simulated locally.

AI co-pilot standout
On-device. Watches both screens. Suggests, never acts on its own.
Watching for cross-device context…
Nothing to suggest yet.
As things happen on your phone — a text, a call, a calendar invite, a photo — Bridgewire will show a card here with the reasoning and a one-click action.
Hit Play above to watch a real-feeling scenario, or tap apps on the phone to trigger context manually.
How the co-pilot decides
Each suggestion is generated by a small on-device model that sees a structured stream of events: { source, kind, content, sensitivity }. It scores possible cross-device actions, picks the top one, and shows you the reasoning before you accept. Sensitivity-tagged events (auth codes, wallet, private notes) are filtered before they ever reach the model.
