Gyroscope pointing
Point the phone and the cursor follows. However you hold it, sitting up or lying down.
Free · Open source · Windows 11
Point your phone.
Your PC follows.
PwaMote turns your phone into a gyroscope air-pointer remote, like a game console controller. Aim at the screen and the cursor moves. Nothing to install on the phone: scan a QR code and you're set.

Everything you need to drive your PC from the couch
Trackpad and clicks
Two large areas for left and right click, with haptic feedback. Trackpad and two-finger scrolling when you need them.
Full keyboard
Ctrl, Shift, Alt, Win, Esc and arrows, with sticky modifiers. You can even paste an image from your phone.
Programmable actions
Pages of buttons made your way: shortcuts, text, programs, scripts, links. An action can even ask you for a value before it runs.
Smart magnifier
Zooms in around the cursor or the text field, so you can read the screen from afar without squinting.
One-scan pairing
Scan a QR code and the phone is paired. It reconnects on its own, and your settings stay in sync between the PC and your phones.
Three steps, one minute
- 1
Install PwaMote on your PC
A Windows 11 installer. The app tucks itself away in the system tray.
- 2
Scan the QR code
With your phone's camera. The remote opens in the browser; add it to your home screen for full screen.
- 3
Aim
Allow the gyroscope with one tap, and point. That's it.
Everything stays at home
The phone talks straight to the PC, over your network. No account, no cloud, no ads.
- Local first. Movements, keystrokes and clicks never leave your network.
- Real HTTPS, no profile to install. Your PC gets a pwamote.app name and a Let's Encrypt certificate. The service only publishes its local address: it never sees your traffic or your keys.
- Offline too. Without internet, PwaMote falls back to its own local certificate.
- Open source. The code for the app and the DNS service is public: read it, build it.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install an app on my phone?
No. PwaMote is a web app: it opens in Safari or Chrome once you scan the QR code. Add it to your home screen to get it full screen, just like an app.
Which devices are supported?
On the computer side, Windows 11. On the phone side, iPhone (Safari) and Android (Chrome), as long as they have a gyroscope.
Why a pwamote.app name?
Browsers only allow the gyroscope over HTTPS. Rather than making you install a certificate on your phone, PwaMote gives your PC a public name that points to its local address, plus a real certificate. That name only works at home.
My phone can't find the PC. What should I do?
Check that both are on the same Wi-Fi network, then that the app shows “En ligne” (online). On first launch, Windows asks you to allow PwaMote through the firewall: accept.
Is it really free?
Yes, and the code is open. There is nothing to buy and no account to create.
