PhoneRC: Remote Keyboard Mouse

PhoneRC turns your Android phone into a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, touchpad, TV remote and presentation clicker. It connects as a standard Bluetooth HID device, so there's nothing to install on the TV or computer, no server and no shared Wi-Fi. Pair once and it works.

WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL
Smart TVs, Android TV and streaming boxes, Windows PCs, Macs, Linux computers, Steam Deck and tablets. Choose a receiver profile (Android TV, Samsung TV, Windows, Mac, Linux, Steam Deck or Tablet) and PhoneRC picks suitable controls, shortcuts and starting pages for it.

SIX PAGES OF CONTROLS
- TV & media: number pad for channels, fullscreen, subtitles, info, and previous / play-pause / next
- Presentation: next and previous slide, start and end slideshow, blank screen, laser pointer shortcut and a timer. Leave the clicker at home.
- Text input: type on your phone and send it to the TV or computer
- Key controls: Esc, Tab, arrows, Enter, Backspace, Delete, all twelve function keys (F1–F12), and shortcuts for copy, paste, undo, tabs, zoom, desktops and lock screen that adapt to Mac, Windows or Linux
- App shortcuts: one-tap tiles for Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, Spotify, Hulu, HBO Max and IPTV (Kodi), plus your own tiles
- Custom layouts: build your own button layouts with a touchpad, start from templates, and back them up

TOUCHPAD & D-PAD
- Touchpad: move, tap to click, two-finger scroll, pinch to zoom
- Left and right mouse buttons, with hold-and-drag
- D-pad mode for TV menus
- Edge sliders for scrolling, volume and zoom
- Adjustable scroll speed and sensitivity, with Slow, Normal and Fast presets

MAKE IT YOURS
Long-press a button to change its label, key and modifiers. Add your own shortcut tiles with the + button and pick a color. The platform setting (Mac, Windows or Linux) is remembered for each paired device.

OPTIONAL DESKTOP COMPANION
Everything above works with plain Bluetooth. The free PhoneRC Companion for macOS, Windows and Linux adds two extras on a computer:
- App shortcut tiles: the tiles send a key combination that the Companion turns into "open this app or website." They need the Companion running on a computer; on TVs and streaming boxes, use the other pages.
- Unicode text: send emoji, accented letters and any language. Without it, text input sends standard keyboard characters (A–Z, 0–9, punctuation).

EASY PAIRING
A built-in Connection Assistant walks you through pairing, reconnecting and repairing a stale pairing.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no analytics, no internet connection needed. PhoneRC collects no data. One-time purchase, with no subscriptions or in-app purchases.

Requires Android 10 or later. Volume, media and channel keys depend on the receiver; keyboard and pointer input work on any device that accepts a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
