Thumbpad: PC Remote & Keyboard

Turn your Android phone into a complete remote for your Windows PC on the same Wi-Fi network. Trackpad, air mouse, keyboard, screen view, media, volume, brightness and power, all in one app, with no cloud and no account.

Features

- Precision trackpad with multi-finger gestures: single-finger cursor, two-finger scroll and pinch-zoom, and three-finger swipes for Task View, Show Desktop and desktop switching. A scroll wheel with fling, left / middle / right buttons, press-and-drag, and a left-handed layout in one tap.
- Air mouse: point and move your phone to move the PC cursor, like a laser pointer. Perfect from the sofa.
- Full keyboard: type into any Windows app with your phone's keyboard. A dedicated strip for Esc, Tab, arrows, Home / End / PageUp / PageDown and F1-F12, with sticky Ctrl / Alt / Shift / Win modifiers.
- Chord composer: build any Ctrl+Shift+K style hotkey and send it in one tap, plus one-tap presets for Copy, Paste, Undo, Alt+Tab, Win+D and more.
- Mini mouse pad on the keyboard screen: while you watch the screen view, nudge the cursor and click (tap for left, double-tap for right) without leaving the keyboard.
- Screen view (optional): see your PC screen on your phone while you work. Peek shows a zoomable area around the cursor; full screen puts the whole desktop behind a see-through trackpad. Multi-monitor aware. Streams over your Wi-Fi only, encrypted, never recorded.
- Now-playing media remote: see the current song's title, artist and album art, with play / pause / next / previous / seek. Works with Spotify, YouTube, VLC, Windows Media Player and PowerPoint slideshows, anything that uses Windows SMTC, with media-key fallback for older apps.
- Volume and brightness: a PC volume slider and mute, an optional mode that mirrors your phone's volume rocker to the PC, and monitor brightness control over DDC/CI.
- Power controls: lock, sleep, restart, sign out or shut down your PC from your phone, each with a confirmation.
- Send files to your PC: pick photos, videos or documents and send them straight to the PC's Downloads folder over Wi-Fi, with a progress queue on both ends and resume if the connection drops. A transfer history keeps what you have sent, so you can tap any item to see its details and resend it.
- Guided setup and automatic discovery: a step-by-step wizard gets you connected, and the app finds your PC on the Wi-Fi with no IP typing.
- One-time pairing: pick your PC in the app and click Accept on the PC when both show the same code, or scan a QR code. Every connection is TLS-encrypted with a pinned certificate.
- Thumbpad Pro (optional): screen view, Air mouse and file transfer come with a free daily allowance; Pro removes those daily limits and every ad, so you can use everything without watching ads, as a one-time purchase or a yearly subscription.

Requirements

- Windows 10/11 PC on the same Wi-Fi network as your phone.

Privacy

Your remote-control activity stays on your local network: input, media and screen data are encrypted and sent only to your paired PC. Files you send go straight to that PC, encrypted, and are never uploaded anywhere. There is no account and no cloud. Anonymous usage statistics (Google Analytics for Firebase) count setup and connection milestones, never what you type or what is on your screen, and can be turned off in Settings. The app is ad-supported (Google AdMob); Thumbpad Pro removes ads. See the full privacy policy for details.
