Remote Touchpad is a software application that enables users to control their computer's mouse and keyboard remotely using a smartphone or any touchscreen device via a web browser. It solves the problem of needing physical input devices by providing a virtual touchpad interface over a local network connection. The tool supports multiple desktop environments including Wayland, Windows, and X11.
Users who need a convenient remote control solution for their computer during presentations, media playback, or when a physical mouse/keyboard is inaccessible. It's also suitable for developers and tech enthusiasts looking for a lightweight cross-platform remote input tool.
