Windows + Android
HibiNex mixes your PC and your phone into a single pair of headphones, wired or wireless. No second connection, no swapping, and no pausing one to listen to the other.
You need both halves. Windows 10 or 11, and Android 10 or newer.
Two apps, one Wi-Fi network (or a hotspot), one PIN. No cables, no account.
HibiNex on your phone, and HibiNex on your Windows PC. Both are free. You can also just search for HibiNex in the Microsoft Store on your PC.
The PC shows a PIN. Tap Scan on the phone, pick your PC, type the PIN. It's remembered after that.
Music, video, games: whatever your phone plays comes out of your PC's speakers or headphones.
Your PC keeps whatever it was doing. Your phone joins it. The same colours as above apply: purple is the PC, cyan is the phone, and white is what reaches your ears.
Audio goes straight from your phone to your PC over your Wi-Fi. No servers, no cloud, nothing in between.
It picks up whatever your phone is playing, so there are no plugins, settings or accounts to deal with app by app.
Every stream is encrypted, and a PC only accepts phones you've paired with a PIN.
Play, pause and skip your phone's audio from the PC without picking the phone up.
48 kHz when you want the quality, or a lighter mode that asks less of your phone's battery and CPU.
No sign-up, no email, no profile. Install it and it works.
The ones worth answering up front.
No. Android requires the microphone permission to read what your phone is playing, because there is no separate permission for it. HibiNex only ever receives your phone's own audio, never the room.
HibiNex copies the sound to your PC rather than moving it, so your phone keeps playing too. Turn your phone's media volume down to hear it only from the PC.
Only the same Wi-Fi, or a hotspot if there's no router around. The audio never leaves your local network, so it works even if the internet is down.
A few apps don't allow their sound to leave the phone, for copyright reasons. That's their choice and nothing HibiNex can change.
