Pretty decent and certainly much better, than anything else i tried. I mainly use i3wm + qutebrowser + bunch of scripts, so anything on my laptop can be controlled via this app. Nice. Thanks) One FR/question: can I have the setting that I could press and hold key on virtual keyboard, and have continuous key-pressed event on PC? It's not crucial, but pretty desirable feature.

An interesting and fun experiment although a bit clunky. If you need to get things done then simply install a vnc server on the target box and a vnc client on your Android phone. Both are free and without nags and ads, and there are enough options both for clients and servers.

Bad ux. Extremely laggy mouse. I admire the skill it took to create this, I know I couldn't do better, but this thing is slow and laggy and has very bad ux. There's some very fundamental issues with how menus are organized.

Wonderful! If I could use my phone's physical volume buttons to control my Linux machine it would be definitely the most useful app in its category. Please, please, add that feature. I would definitely buy the Pro version in that case.

Tried using for newest ubuntu 19, but doesnt support this. Set up with this is tedious and surprisingly inconenient. Ads. Also doesn't work. That too.

It'd be awesome if you could lock buttons so when keep pressed would send the same command again ideal for couch surfing tv channels
