MyPhoneExplorer is a free Windows program for managing an Android phone from a computer. It brings the phone's contacts, calendar, messages and files into a desktop application, alongside backup and remote control functions. A companion Android client connects the devices over Wi-Fi, USB or Bluetooth. Communication between the phone and PC stays local, without routing through a third-party server.
MyPhoneExplorer Sync
Contacts and appointments can be synchronized with desktop organizers such as Outlook and Thunderbird. MyPhoneExplorer also supports vCard and iCal files, while its internal synchronization database can keep several phones in sync. Before changing records on the phone or in the selected database, the program displays its planned actions for review.
The calendar supports dragging appointments, multiple alarms for an appointment and repeating tasks. Contacts and appointments can be moved into other contact accounts or calendars through the context menu. These controls let users organize the phone's records from the PC as well as exchange them with another organizer.
Phone Transfers
The file browser manages transfers between the phone and computer, with thumbnails and previews for images and videos. Photo-Sync copies new photos from the device, so later transfers do not need to copy the same pictures again. File-Sync handles complete folder structures and supports automatic synchronization for ongoing transfers.
MyPhoneExplorer's backup wizard can save contacts, calendar entries, tasks, notes, SMS and files, with a corresponding restore function. File synchronization keeps folders aligned; a backup saves the selected phone data for restoration. Access to all phone files requires the Android client's “Access all files” permission.
Phone Control
SMS can be downloaded to the PC, backed up, deleted or sent from the desktop. A scheduler allows a message to be sent later. MyPhoneExplorer also manages MMS and supports dual-SIM selection for dialing and SMS delivery. The phone's call list can be viewed, archived or backed up, while desktop call controls let users dial, accept, reject and end calls.
Screen mirroring displays the phone on the computer. Remote control then uses the PC's mouse and keyboard to operate it, including over Wi-Fi, and screenshots can capture the phone display. This control uses Android's Accessibility Service. The remote keyboard also provides a way to enter text on the phone from a regular computer keyboard, while clipboard access brings copied phone text into the desktop workflow.
