Turn your phone into a clean, practical touchpad and keyboard for your PC. SendMouse brings everyday computer controls and direct file transfer together without streaming your desktop screen. This mobile app works with SendMouse for Windows or macOS. Connect your phone and computer to the same Wi-Fi, then scan the QR shown on the computer once. Key features • Touchpad: tap to click, long-press to right-click, and scroll with two fingers • Keyboard: type on your phone and send input to the PC • Remotes: control the browser, media playback, and presentations • Programs: switch, minimize, or close running windows • File transfer: select and send multiple files between phone and PC • Text transfer: send several links or notes together and find them in history • PC power: lock, sleep, restart, shut down, or set a custom timer • Pointer highlight: adjust color, size, thickness, and display style Commands, files, and text travel directly between paired devices over an encrypted local connection. SendMouse does not store transferred content on a central server. The free version includes banner ads and a combined daily limit of three file or text transfers. An optional monthly or yearly SendMouse Pro subscription, or a lifetime purchase, removes ads and unlocks unlimited transfers, advanced power timers, and pointer customization.
