Unified Remote
Control your computer from your phone.
Unified Remote is a mobile app that turns a phone or tablet into a remote for a computer, addressing the need to control a PC without a physical keyboard or mouse. It supports Windows, Mac, and Linux computers, with the app available for Android, iPhone, and iPad. Setup involves installing a server on the computer and the app on the mobile device.
Core capabilities include mouse control with single or multi-touch gestures, keyboard input, screen mirroring, Wake On LAN power control, and file browsing. It provides remotes for more than 100 programs, including Spotify, iTunes, Netflix, and XBMC. Connections use WiFi or Bluetooth, with automatic server detection, password protection, and encryption. The full version adds custom remotes, widgets, voice control, NFC tags, Siri Shortcuts, URI control, Android Wear support, and Tasker integration.
The app is free to download, with a free edition covering essential remotes and a full edition unlocked through a one-time purchase per platform. It is aimed at users who want to control computer programs and media from a mobile device.
