Okeke Control turns your iPhone into a wireless trackpad, keyboard and voice typing for your computer. Control your Mac or PC from the couch, across the room, or with one hand. FROM THE COUCH, OR WITH ONE HAND I made Okeke Control to run my computer from across the room. When I broke my collarbone, it also became how I used my PC with one arm: move the cursor with my thumb and talk instead of type. Whether you're on the couch, in bed, or working around an injury, it works the same way. CONNECT IN SECONDS Install the free Okeke Control app on your Mac or Windows PC. Your computer shows up on your phone automatically. Tap to connect, and it reconnects on its own after your computer wakes. YOUR IPHONE IS THE MOUSE Move the cursor with one finger, tap to click, scroll with two fingers, and two-finger tap to right-click. Adjust the speed, or switch to joystick mode. TALK TO TYPE Speak and your words type on your computer. Fix them on your phone before you send. SHORTCUTS AND KEYS Copy, paste, select all, app switcher, show desktop, play/pause, volume, Enter and a backspace you can hold. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Everything stays on your own Wi-Fi network. On Mac, Accessibility permission is needed to control the computer. PRICING Try Pro free for 3 days, then $4.99/month. Or buy Lifetime once and keep it forever. Requires the free Okeke Control app on your Mac or PC.
