This is a gem of an app that turns your android phone into a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard for other devices.

Edit:

What makes this app different from other “remote control” apps? Most of them need a “server” or “companion” app to be installed on your other device. This app doesn’t. It just needs pairing via Bluetooth.

I use it to control an Android tv box. As you know typing with on-screen keyboards on tv screens is an absolute pain.

With this app you can type anything on your smartphone and send it to any text field on your other device. You can also add cistom keys and key combinations. Note the CTRL+A shortcut key i have added for select all in the screenshot for example.

It can also work as a mouse with customizable buttons.

    Instant buy! Thanks a lot for it

    I used for years Unified Remote, but this app stopped in time. So I switched to KDE Connect, but this was very redundant with Join (my other app to connect my device).

    This one… It’s perfect! And no server required opens up more and more use cases :)
