PocketPad: Remote & Touchpad

PocketPad turns your phone into a beautiful touchpad, keyboard and remote for your TV, computer or tablet. Glide to move the pointer, tap to click, scroll with two fingers, type with your own keyboard, and control playback, all from the phone in your pocket.

TWO WAYS TO CONNECT
• Bluetooth: your phone becomes a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. It works with Android TV, Google TV, Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebooks and tablets, with nothing to install on them.
• Wi-Fi: for Android TV and Google TV with the free PocketPad TV app. It adds live typing into the TV's search boxes, the TV's apps on your phone, opening links on the TV and a live screen preview.
Switch between your devices, and between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, with one tap.

A TOUCHPAD THAT FEELS RIGHT
• Laptop-style gestures: tap to click, two-finger tap to right-click, two-finger scrolling with momentum, pinch to zoom, press and hold to drag (support depends on the connected device)
• Three-finger swipes for Back, Home and Recents
• Pointer acceleration that's precise when slow and quick when you flick
• Air mouse: point your phone at the screen to move the pointer
• A glowing, reactive pad, with optional left and right click buttons

A REAL KEYBOARD
• Type with your phone's own keyboard: glide typing, suggestions, emoji and voice
• Wi-Fi: the keyboard opens by itself when the TV asks for text, and mirrors what's in the field
• Bluetooth: 18 keyboard layouts (US, UK, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Nordic, Swiss, Belgian, Portuguese, Brazilian, Polish, Russian, Dvorak, Colemak and more), accented letters included
• Computer keys: Esc, Tab, arrows, Home/End, Page Up/Down, F1–F12 and sticky Ctrl, Alt, Shift and Win or ⌘
• Shortcuts for Windows, Mac, Linux and ChromeOS: copy, paste, undo, switch apps, lock and more
• Snippets: save text you type often and send it with one tap
• Paste your phone's clipboard straight onto the big screen

A REMOTE THAT FEELS RIGHT
• D-pad with OK, or a swipe pad like a modern TV remote
• Real key presses on Android TV 12 and older: pair once with the TV's own remote service and OK and the arrows work in every app (Wi-Fi)
• Back, Home, Recents, Search, Settings and Power
• Media controls and volume, plus your phone's volume buttons
• Crisp haptic feedback on every key (switch it off in Settings)

MORE
• Share to TV: share a YouTube or web link from any app and it opens on your TV
• Your TV's apps, with their real banners, one tap away (Wi-Fi)
• Screen preview: see what's on the TV right inside the touchpad (Wi-Fi, Android 11+ TVs)
• A notification with media controls while connected
• Light and dark themes with an animated switch, plus accent colors (Material You included)
• Quick Settings tile

PRIVATE AND SECURE
• No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking
• Wi-Fi pairing uses a one-time code shown on your TV, checked with SPAKE2, so it can't be guessed by someone listening on your network
• Every Wi-Fi connection is end-to-end encrypted and authenticated with AES-256-GCM
• Everything stays between your own devices: PocketPad has no servers

REQUIREMENTS
• Android 9 or newer
• Bluetooth mode needs a phone whose maker hasn't disabled Android's Bluetooth keyboard feature (most phones have it)
• Some TVs support list scrolling but cannot accept dragging or pinch to zoom
• Wi-Fi mode needs PocketPad TV on an Android TV or Google TV (Android 8 or newer), on the same network
