FAQ

Q: How do I get RemotePointer set up on my devices?

A: Setting up the system is incredibly straightforward. First, you install the RemotePointer app on your Android device, and then you download and run the companion desktop server software on your computer. Once both are running on the same local network, they connect to let you control your screen seamlessly without any complicated configuration.

Q: Can I use RemotePointer to replace my physical mouse and keyboard?

A: Yes, you absolutely can. The app features a highly responsive virtual touchpad that lets you glide your finger to move the PC cursor, alongside a full remote keyboard. This makes it incredibly easy to type out quick search queries, enter passwords, or execute complex system keyboard shortcuts from across the room.

Q: How does the digital laser pointer feature work, and do I need extra hardware?

A: You do not need any extra hardware or special presentation clickers to make this work. RemotePointer utilizes the internal sensors of your Android device to track its physical movement and orientation, projecting a highly visible digital laser dot directly onto your computer screen or projector as you move your hand.
