With this app you can control your computer's keyboard and mouse (using a touchpad). Furthermore, you can project a digital laser pointer dot on your screen or projector, which is controlled by the movement of your Android device.Advantages:
- control your computer from your couch
- when your screen output is being recorded on presentations, the laser pointer can also be recorded
- the digital laser pointer point is better visible in bright rooms
- you can simultaneously flip the slides back and forth on your Android device and control the mouse
- you can use the app as barcode/QR code scanner for your computer
Please download the free software for your PC (Linux, macOS and Windows) from: https://sieber.systems/s/rp
The goal of this project is to provide a complete self-hosted remote control application without dependencies to external servers and without tracking.
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
