Remot turns any phone into a remote for your Windows PC. Open a link in the browser — no app to install — and get volume, media, per-app audio, monitor brightness and inputs, sleep, clipboard sync and live CPU/GPU stats. It runs on your Wi-Fi only. Free.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Remot because of one specific annoyance: my monitor is shared
between my PC and a console, and switching its input meant reaching
behind the screen every single time. Then it occurred to me that the
phone already in my hand could do it. And the volume. And the music.
Remot is a small service that runs on your Windows PC and serves a web
dashboard to your phone. There's no Android app to install — you scan a
QR code once, open the link in Chrome, and add it to your home screen.
That's the setup.
What's in it:
• Now playing with artwork, seeking and transport controls, for whatever
app owns the media session
• System volume, mic mute, and a slider per app — duck Chrome without
touching the game
• Monitor brightness and input switching over DDC/CI (the thing that
started all this)
• Lock, sleep, display off, a sleep timer, two-way clipboard, and "open
this link on the PC"
• Live CPU, RAM, disk, network and NVIDIA GPU stats, once a second
It never leaves your Wi-Fi. No account, no relay, no server in the
middle. The firewall rule it adds covers private networks only, so it's
inert on café Wi-Fi.
The honest limits, before you ask:
• Monitor brightness and input need DDC/CI, which not every monitor
exposes properly
• One PC at a time
• Windows 10 and 11
• Your phone has to be on the same Wi-Fi — this is a LAN tool by design,
not remote access
Free on the Microsoft Store.
The feature list grew out of my own desk, which means it's probably
missing whatever annoys *you*. So: what do you actually get up and walk
over to your PC for? Tell me and I'll see if it belongs in here.
