AndroHID broadcasts as a standard Bluetooth keyboard + mouse, so the device on the other end doesn't need any app, driver, or special setup. If it can pair with a normal Bluetooth keyboard, it works with AndroHID.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Type on a smart TV, Apple TV, Fire TV, or set-top box — fast text entry instead of D-pad hunting
• Use your phone as a backup keyboard when your PC or Mac keyboard breaks or is across the room
• Control a console (PS5, Xbox, Switch) for browser and chat input
• Type and click on a headless Raspberry Pi or mini-PC without plugging anything in
• Couch computing — full keyboard + trackpad for an HTPC, no batteries to swap
• Replace a missing keyboard during a fresh OS install or BIOS-level rescue

KEYBOARD FEATURES
• Full QWERTY via your phone's normal keyboard — auto-correct off, every keystroke goes through cleanly
• Modifier keys: Ctrl, Shift, Alt, GUI (Win / Cmd / Super)
• Function row: tap Fn then a number for F1–F12
• Special keys: Esc, Tab, Caps Lock, Delete, and full arrow cluster
• Modifiers latch for one keystroke, just like sticky-keys — tap Ctrl, then C, send Ctrl+C

TRACKPAD MODE
In portrait the trackpad sits above the keyboard at all times. In landscape, tap
"Touch for trackpad" and the lower half of the screen becomes a precision
pointer surface:

• 1-finger drag — move the cursor
• 1-finger tap — left click
• 2-finger tap — right click
• 2-finger drag — vertical scroll (natural-scroll direction)
• Long-press and drag — drag with the left button held (text selection, window moves, file drags)

Tuned for low latency: unbuffered touch dispatch and 16-bit pointer reports, so the cursor tracks your finger immediately rather than after a frame of input lag.

PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS
• Bluetooth permission only — used to advertise as a HID device and send keystrokes
• No internet permission for app logic. Nothing you type is recorded, stored, or uploaded
• No account, no sign-in, no analytics SDKs in the input path
• Works completely offline once paired

REQUIREMENTS
• Android 10 (API 29) or newer
• A device with Bluetooth LE peripheral support (most phones from 2019 onward)
• The receiving device must support standard Bluetooth HID — virtually every modern PC, Mac, Linux box, smart TV, and console does

FREE USE, NO ADS
AndroHID has no ads at all — not a banner, not a full-screen one. You get 10
minutes of connected use every day for free, and time only counts while a device
is actually connected, so leaving the app open in your pocket costs you nothing.
If you need more, a single in-app purchase unlocks unlimited use permanently.
No subscription, no recurring charge, and every key, gesture and trackpad
feature is included either way.

Already bought "Remove ads"? You have unlimited use — nothing to do.

PAIRING IN 10 SECONDS

Open AndroHID — it advertises as "AndroHID"
Open Bluetooth settings on the device you want to type on
Pick "AndroHID" from the list
Start typing
If your target device asks for a PIN, just confirm — AndroHID uses standard Bluetooth Secure Simple Pairing.
