# phone-mic

Use your phone as a microphone via scrcpy. System tray app written in Rust.

## Dependencies

- `scrcpy` — streams audio from your phone
- `pulseaudio-utils` — provides `parec` and `pactl`
- `adb` — Android Debug Bridge

## Installation

After cloning the repo, run:

```
cargo install --path .
```

Left-click the tray icon to toggle. Right-click for Quit.

## Auto-start with systemd

```sh
# Generate the unit file into the user systemd folder
phone-mic systemd > ~/.config/systemd/user/phone-mic.service

# Enable and start the service
systemctl --user enable phone-mic.service --now

# Check logs
journalctl --user -u phone-mic.service --follow

# Update after rebuilding
systemctl --user restart phone-mic.service
```

## How it works

1. Creates a PulseAudio pipe source via `pactl load-module module-pipe-source`
2. Runs `parec` to create a recording stream from that source
3. Runs `scrcpy --audio-source=mic` to capture phone mic audio and pipe it in
4. The audio source appears in PulseAudio as "Scrcpy" — use it as any other input
