In short
What MouseOS is.
MouseOS is a free app that turns your Android phone into a wireless trackpad, air mouse, keyboard, media remote and presentation clicker for your Mac, Windows PC or Linux computer — and into a remote for your Samsung, LG or Google TV.
The phone and the computer talk directly over your Wi‑Fi. No internet needed, no account, no cloud, no ads, no tracking. The computer runs a free companion app; TVs need nothing at all. Every new phone is approved once, with one ALLOW click on the computer.

Is it free?

iPhone?

Does it need the internet?
No. Your phone and your computer talk directly over your Wi‑Fi — nothing goes through a server. No internet, no account. Your phone's hotspot works too.
Bluetooth or Wi‑Fi?
Wi‑Fi, not Bluetooth. MouseOS finds your computer on the local network by itself; you click ALLOW on the computer once, and that's the pairing.
Does the TV need the computer app?
No. The TV screen talks to your Samsung, LG or Google TV directly, over the same Wi‑Fi.
Can I use it for presentations?
Yes. The Slides screen has a giant next and previous, a timer you set to the minute, and the phone's volume buttons click too.
Can I type, and control the volume?
Yes. Keys types in any language, accents and emoji included. Remote has the arrows, play, the computer's volume and next episode.
Can someone else take over my computer?
No. Every new phone needs one ALLOW click on the computer.
Stuck?
macOS won't open it
System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, click Open Anyway. Only the first time.
Windows says it protected your PC
Click More info, then Run anyway. Only the first time: MouseOS isn't signed by Microsoft yet.
The phone doesn't find the computer
Same Wi‑Fi, VPN off. Café or hotel Wi‑Fi hides devices: turn on your phone's hotspot and join it from the computer. On Windows, your Wi‑Fi must be a Private network. Or tap TYPE THE ADDRESS on the phone.
The pointer doesn't move
Mac: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility: switch MouseOS on. Linux on Wayland: open MouseOS and click ALLOW CONTROL. After an update, the app shows you how.
