MobileTrackpad

A weekend project that transforms a phone's screen into a trackpad for a laptop mouse.

  1. It works over the local WiFi so phone needs to be on the same local network as the laptop.
  2. Configure laptop's IP and port in the settins in the app (the configurations are saved in history and can be re-used later with a single tap).
  3. When connected, drag around to move the mouse and tap to click (left mouse click).

This app needs the second component to run on your laptop. See this reporitory for more information on how to install it. This server also prints out the IP and port number to enter in this app's settings.
