RemotePointer - Digital Laser Pointer & Mouse Control
"RemotePointer" is an Android app that allows users to control their computer's keyboard and mouse while projecting a digital laser pointer. With this app, you can manage presentations seamlessly from your couch, improve visibility in bright rooms, and scan barcodes/QR codes for your computer. Designed as a self-hosted solution, it prioritizes user privacy by avoiding external servers and tracking, and it is available for free on multiple operating systems.

With this app you can control your computer's keyboard and mouse (using a touchpad). Furthermore, you can project a digital laser pointer dot on your screen or projector, which is controlled by the movement of your Android device.
Advantages: - control your computer from your couch - when your screen output is being recorded on presentations, the laser pointer can also be recorded - the digital laser pointer point is better visible in bright rooms - you can simultaneously flip the slides back and forth on your Android device and control the mouse - you can use the app as barcode/QR code scanner for your computer
The goal of this project is to provide a complete self-hosted remote control application without dependencies to external servers and without tracking.
Link to download the server is dead, so you cannot make it work. The link to RemotePointer-Server jar redirects to the main website. You can download the client (this app), but not the server. Without the server this app is pretty much useless. Go to your link, click "Download PC-Application", what happens? Redirects to georg-sieber.de
Works great as a remote touchpad. Also has keyboard support as an IAP. Maybe a TV mode could be added where the gyroscopic pointer would also move the mouse?
