Phone Mic turns any Android phone into a low-latency wireless microphone for your Windows or macOS desktop. Scan a QR code, pick a capture scenario, and you're live in your game or Discord call — no cables, no cloud account, no subscription.
Launch the desktop receiver — it shows a QR code and pairing PIN immediately. Scan it from the phone app, or type the three fields by hand.
Speaker nearby, distant voice, or music — each tunes gain and noise suppression for that situation.
Tap Start. The desktop app plays your phone's mic into a virtual audio cable, so Discord, your game, or any app sees it as a real microphone.
Pair by camera scan or manual entry. A rotating PIN means only devices you've actually paired can stream to your desktop.
Raw PCM over UDP in 10ms chunks. A dropped frame is inaudible; waiting for a retransmit isn't — so we don't wait.
Live Excellent/Good/Poor/Lost feedback on the phone, driven by real packet-loss stats from the desktop side.
Platform noise suppression, AGC, and echo cancellation applied per scenario — skipped automatically for the Music preset so it doesn't get mangled.
Out-of-order packets get reordered; a real gap is concealed instead of playing back as a click or glitch.
Everything runs over your own WiFi. No signup, no relay server, no data leaving your network.
Most "phone as mic" apps either need an account or route audio through a third-party relay. Phone Mic doesn't — the phone talks directly to your PC over WiFi, and that's the whole path.
Phone Mic is MIT-licensed and built in the open. Star it, file an issue, or send a pull request — contributions welcome.
Phone Mic needs somewhere on the desktop to hand off the audio stream as a real microphone input. That's what a virtual audio cable does — install one before you run the desktop receiver. Free, one download, no account.
The page also lists paid A+B / C+D bundles — you only need the plain one below.
