Using Daylio on Your PC¶
If you want to use Daylio on your computer, here's a way to do it by remote controlling your phone.
Hi everyone !
After asking on this sub for a PC support of Daylio in order to type long journal entries, I'm back here to help you set everything up !
The solution I've found the most simple and lightweight to use is scrcpy. Basically, it's a Vysor alternative for free and open-source.
Best (and free) android remote control from PC I've found : https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
Guide to make it work wireless (same wifi) : https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb#wireless
Video guides I've found to be clear and complete :
Installation : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVLgyxqhKqE
Wireless configuration : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuTdxa-w1js

Why not using an android emulator on windows ? Because Daylio does not automatically import online backup, you'd need to manually do it every time you switch device. It is then simpler to just remote access your phone.
Have a nice day ! Hope it helps !
