Dragging yourself out of a warm bed just to skip a loud ad or pause a movie on your desktop is the absolute worst. We have all been there. Remote PC Pro completely solves that headache by turning your everyday Android device into a master control hub for your Windows or Linux rig. You basically get a slick wireless mouse, a full keyboard, and a dedicated media clicker wrapped up in a single, incredibly responsive app.

YOUR PHONE IS NOW A HIGH TECH TRACKPAD

This app totally nails the basics. You don’t need to awkwardly balance a clunky wireless mouse on your knee anymore.

Your phone screen instantly transforms into a highly precise trackpad, letting you swipe and tap your way through your entire operating system. Need to type out a quick search query? Just pop open the virtual keyboard. You can even monitor your computer screen directly through desktop widgets to see exactly what is happening while you are hanging out in another room.

CUSTOM INTERFACES FOR MOVIES, SLIDES, AND GAMING

Generic remote apps usually feel clunky, but this one actually adapts to what you are currently doing. It features heavily customized panels built for highly specific tasks.

If you are kicking back to watch a movie, just pull up the dedicated media remote. Pitching a massive project to your team? Use your phone as a seamless presentation clicker, complete with a simulated laser pointer. You can even build a custom gaming keypad or strictly manage your chaotic browser tabs without ever touching your physical desk setup. It gives you the exact buttons you need, right when you need them.

SEAMLESS WIFI AND BLUETOOTH PAIRING

Connection drops are a total nightmare, so having multiple ways to link up is a massive lifesaver.

You can pair via WiFi if you want to roam freely around the house while keeping a rock solid connection to your machine. But what if your router randomly dies? Absolutely not a problem. Just switch the app over to Bluetooth. It keeps you in total control of your desktop even when your internet is completely down.

SHUT DOWN AND FORCE QUIT FROM THE COUCH

Sometimes a random background app completely freezes your computer, and you really just don’t want to get up to fix it.

The built in task manager lets you monitor running processes and ruthlessly force quit frozen programs directly from your phone screen. When you are finally done for the night, just hit the remote power controls. You can put your PC to sleep, reboot the system, or trigger a full shut down without ever leaving the couch.
