I built this for myself initially — I wanted to control my PC from my phone without relying on any cloud service or third-party desktop remote apps.
So I created a lightweight self-hosted server app that runs on your Mac or Windows machine, and an iOS/Android app that connects to it over your local Wi-Fi.
It basically turns your phone into a wireless mouse, keyboard, and touchpad for your computer.
No login. No internet needed. No cloud sync — everything stays local on your network.
Use cases:
Controlling media on a TV-connected PC (VLC, YouTube, Spotify, etc.)
Typing from across the room
Basic navigation when you don’t have a physical mouse or keyboard nearby
If you’ve ever used tools like Unified Remote or Remote Mouse — it’s similar, but zero-cloud.
The self host-able desktop server is free and runs quietly in the background.
