Unified Remote

Control your computer from your phone with Unified Remote, the universal remote control app that transforms your Android device into a WiFi or Bluetooth controller for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux. Stop tethered to your desk — access your computer from anywhere in the room.

Set up takes seconds with automatic server detection that finds your computer on the network instantly. Whether you're settling into the couch to watch movies, managing music playback from across the room, or controlling presentations from the podium, the intuitive interface makes it feel natural. Security is built in with server password protection and encryption, so your connection stays private.

With 18 free remotes preloaded, you get immediate control over essentials like mouse and keyboard, volume, and screen settings. The full version unlocks 90+ remote profiles tailored to popular applications: media players like Spotify, iTunes, and VLC; streaming services including Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu; presentation software such as PowerPoint and Google Slides; browsers like Chrome and Firefox; plus file managers, task control, terminal access, and power management. Single and multi-touch mouse control responds smoothly, while floating remotes let you control your computer without minimizing other apps.

Advanced features give power users even more control. Voice commands let you speak instead of tap. Custom remotes adapt to apps not in the default library. IR and NFC actions extend compatibility to smart home devices and legacy hardware. Wake On LAN starts your server remotely, and Android Wear support brings controls straight to your smartwatch via quick actions and voice.

The server software runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and you can even control Raspberry Pi and Arduino Yún devices. Light and dark themes match your preference, while haptic feedback and optional wake-lock features enhance the experience. Quick actions and home screen widgets put your most-used controls one tap away.
