RemEx (Remote Execution)

RemEx turns your Android phone into a remote for your PC. See what your PC is doing, control it, move files both ways and stream its screen, from anywhere in the house or over your own VPN.

RemEx has two parts: this app, and the free RemEx app for your PC (Windows or Linux). Get the PC app from github.com/clindsay94/RemEx/releases, then pair your phone with a QR code or a 6-digit PIN.

HOME
• Your PC at a glance: online status, uptime and the sensors you pin
• Wake your PC from your phone with Wake-on-LAN
• Shortcuts to the screens you use most

SENSORS
• Live readings from your PC: CPU and GPU load, temperatures, clocks, memory, fans, network and more
• Arrange the grid your way, 2 to 4 columns wide, with cards in three sizes
• Pin your favourites to Home

ALERTS
• Get a notification when a sensor passes a limit, like a GPU running hot
• Alerts follow the rules you set on the PC, and you can add or change them from your phone

REMOTE DESKTOP
• Stream your PC's screen to your phone or tablet
• Use it as a touchpad or tap straight on the screen
• Pinch to zoom, drag to pan, two fingers to scroll

CONTROL
• Lock, sign out, restart or shut down your PC
• Start apps and games from a grid of your PC's programs
• See running processes and end the ones you don't want
• Media controls and a remote mouse

FILES
• Browse your PC's shared folders, download files and whole folders, and upload from your phone
• Your PC can browse the folders you share from your phone and, if you allow it, organise them too
• Transfers keep going in the background, with progress in your notifications

ROUTINES
• Let your phone act on its own: when you get home, when you tap an NFC tag, or when a PC sensor passes a limit
• Actions can run on your phone or on the PC, with a countdown before any shutdown or restart

PC LOGS AND DIAGNOSTICS
• See what your PC has logged and how its health checks look, right from your phone

MAKE IT YOURS
• Material You colours, or pick your own seed colour
• Light and dark themes, contrast and colour style options
• Backgrounds: subtle textures or slow animated ones
• Card shapes, fonts including popular Nerd Fonts, and four splash screens
• Home screen widgets

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account and no cloud service. Your phone talks straight to your PC
• Pairing uses a QR code or PIN, and every connection is encrypted and pinned to your PC
• Your PC decides what each phone can see and do, and you can remove a phone at any time
• No analytics and no tracking. The app doesn't send anything to me or to anyone else

Available in English, Español, Français, हिन्दी, Bahasa Indonesia, Polski, Português (Brasil), Türkçe and Українська.

RemEx is open source and a one-person project. If something doesn't work the way you expect, open an issue on GitHub and I'll take a look.

Requires Android 14 or newer. The PC app runs on Windows and Linux.
