About RemotePointer

With this app you can control your computer's keyboard and mouse (using a touchpad). Furthermore, you can project a digital laser pointer dot on your screen or projector, which is controlled by the movement of your Android device.

Advantages:

- control your computer from your couch

- when your screen output is being recorded on presentations, the laser pointer can also be recorded

- the digital laser pointer point is better visible in bright rooms

- you can simultaneously flip the slides back and forth on your Android device and control the mouse

- you can use the app as barcode/QR code scanner for your computer

Please download the free software for your PC (Linux, macOS and Windows) from: https://sieber.systems/s/rp

The goal of this project is to provide a complete self-hosted remote control application without dependencies to external servers and without tracking.
