πŸ–± Wireless touchpad

Use your phone as a wireless mouse and touchpad

Your phone screen becomes a trackpad for your computer. Slide to move the pointer, tap to click, two fingers to scroll, and type with the phone keyboard. Perfect when the laptop is plugged into the TV across the room.

Laptop plugged into the TV

Sit on the sofa and still drive the computer across the room.

Presenting from the back of a room

Move the pointer and click without walking back to the lectern.

When the mouse dies

A phone in your pocket beats hunting for batteries.

Questions

Do I need to install anything?

Nothing on the phone. On the computer you paste one line into PowerShell that runs a small helper β€” no installation, no administrator rights, and it stops the moment you close its window.

Why does this one need a helper?

No website on any operating system is allowed to move your mouse pointer β€” that restriction is the browser protecting you. The helper is the piece with permission to do it, and it only ever receives movement from your own phone.

Does it work on a Mac?

Not yet β€” the helper is Windows-only for now. Every other UseMyPhone tool works on Mac, Windows and Linux.

Is it secure?

The helper needs the code shown on your own screen, the touchpad tool has to be open, and you have to approve it on the computer. Closing the tool disconnects it instantly.
