What small tiny app have you found that not many people know about - SLRPNK

I’m curious to discover more stuff that exists in the App realm, there must be some small indie apps we don’t know about everywhere

Unified Remote. It’s a little janky, but it does you to turn your phone into a trackpad and/or keyboard for your phone. It works with swipe typing, and allows you to use keyboard shortcuts such as Alt+Tab or Win+Shift+Arrow.

Truly the best way I’ve found of using my PC from my couch.

Used for years, unfortunately it appears to be abandoned.

That makes me sad. It ran my TV for like a decade

Yeah I wish they were still adding new features and stuff. But I haven’t found a better alternative yet, so I guess that’s what we have.

Try KDE Connect. It works over LAN, has KB+M input, media controls, file transfer, among many other things. It’s available for many platforms.

I’ve tried it. There were two issues:

  • Mouse movement was pretty choppy. Not exactly a dealbreaker, but it took a little extra effort to aim at buttons.
  • There wasn’t an easy way to do keyboard shortcuts. I googled the issue and people were suggesting to change the system keyboard to one that includes extra keys like Windows, Ctrl, etc. I really didn’t want to deal with that.
