RemoteDroid is an application for Android that allows you to control your computer remotely using your Android smartphone or tablet. It is possible to operate your PC from a distance, for example, start a video, demonstrate presentations, play music, and so on.
Installing
This simple tool requires you to install a server application on your computer and the corresponding RemoteDroid client utility on your Android device. It is necessary to enter your IP address on the start screen of the utility. Once the setup is complete, your gadget and PC are synchronized, using a Wi-Fi connection.
Controls
It is noteworthy that this app transforms your Android gadget into a wireless mouse. With intuitive controls, you can move the cursor on your computer screen by swiping your finger across your device’s touchscreen. Tapping on the display acts as a left click, while a two-finger tap serves as a right click.
But that is not all RemoteDroid can offer. The app also functions as a wireless keyboard. So, you can type documents, send emails, or search the web with the on-screen input. This utility supports all standard keys, including functions and modifiers like Ctrl, Alt, and Shift.
Moreover, it is possible to use multitouch gestures and perform various actions by using multiple fingers. You can zoom in and out, scroll through documents, and more. The app emulates touchpad functionality.
