Control your PC from your phone.

Control My PC turns your Android phone into a trackpad, keyboard, shortcut grid and launcher for your Windows PC. Move the pointer, type, switch apps and press your own shortcuts from the sofa, the lectern or the desk.

Everything your hands need, on one screen

Every control sits within reach of one finger. Your phone sends it straight to your PC, encrypted.

A grid for every app

Fill a Grid with big one-tap buttons for your favourite shortcuts. Teach a button a key combo by pressing it on your PC’s keyboard, rename it and move it where you want. With an app in front on your PC, one tap makes a grid just for that app, and from then on it switches in by itself when that app comes forward.

Auto-Switch, or a grid that stays put

Turn Auto-Switch off and the grid you pick stays, whatever app is in front. Every other app uses your Default grid.

The Grid on an Android phone: nine big shortcut buttons for a video call (Mute, Video, Share Screen, Raise Hand, Chat, Participants, Gallery View, Record, Leave), with Auto-Switch turned on

A precision trackpad

Move the pointer, tap to click, right click, drag and scroll, with one finger. Put Grid buttons in the trackpad’s top row so a shortcut is one tap away while you move the cursor.

The Trackpad screen: a large touch area that says Trackpad Active, a row of modifier keys above it and quick buttons below it

Type live, or write a draft first

With the Live keyboard, every key appears on your PC as you type. With Draft, write a whole message on your phone, then send it in one go.

The Keyboard screen in Draft mode: a message typed on the phone, ready to insert on the computer

Switch apps and windows

The Launcher shows the apps open on your PC. Tap one to bring it to the front, pick a window from its list, or search everything that is open.

The Launcher: a grid of the apps open on the computer, each with its initial, and a search field for open apps and windows

A free, quiet app on your PC

Get Control My PC from the Microsoft Store. It lives in the system tray, asks once for network access, and only moves the pointer, types and clicks when you tell it to from your phone. It never records your screen or reads your files.

Your PC, your business

A remote for your own computer should not need an account, a server or your data.

No account, no servers

Nothing to sign up for. Your phone connects straight to your PC over your local network or Bluetooth, and nothing goes through our servers.

Encrypted, device to device

Everything you type and do is encrypted between your phone and your PC. The PC app only answers phones that paired with its QR code or its 6-character code.

No ads, no tracking

No analytics, no ads and no tracking. Google Play’s Data safety section says No data collected, and the Windows app collects no personal data.

Before you install

Which PCs and phones work?

A PC with Windows 10 (version 1809 or newer) or Windows 11, on normal and ARM PCs, and an Android phone or tablet with Android 8 or later.

How does my phone connect to my PC?

Over Bluetooth first. If your PC doesn’t answer over Bluetooth (some PCs can’t host the connection, or Bluetooth is off), the phone switches to Wi-Fi by itself. For Wi-Fi, your phone and your PC need to be on the same Wi-Fi, set as a Private network in Windows. Guest networks often block devices from seeing each other.

Is there anything it can’t control?

Windows doesn’t let any app control administrator windows, like Task Manager, or the lock screen. Control My PC can’t either.

Does it work with a Mac too?

Yes. The same Android app controls a Mac with the free Control My Mac app for macOS 14 or later, from controlmymac.com.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no account and no sign-up, on the phone or on the PC.

What’s free, and what does Full App add?

Essentials is free: trackpad movement, click and right click, the basics of the Live and Draft keyboards, one Grid button, a Launcher preview, dark mode, accent colours and Help Mode. Full App adds scrolling, the full Grid with app grids and Auto-Switch, the Launcher and window switching without upgrade prompts, keyboard shortcuts, full gestures, presets and quick controls. The PC app is free.

What does Full App cost?

Try Full App free for 7 days with Monthly or Yearly, or take Lifetime, a single purchase. Subscriptions renew until you cancel in Google Play under Payments & subscriptions. Prices vary by country, and Google Play shows yours before you buy.

How do the codes on this site work?

Join our news emails and we send you a personal Google Play code for a free month of Full App. Redeem it with the link in the email, or in the Google Play app under Payments & subscriptions › Redeem code. One code per email address, and Google Play shows what the code gives you before you confirm. Details in the Privacy Policy.

Is my data private?

Yes. No account, no ads, no tracking, no servers. What you type and do goes straight from your phone to your PC, encrypted, and nowhere else. Details in the Privacy Policy.
