See your computer’s screen on your phone
A live view of your computer that follows what you’re doing and zooms in close — so you can control it from across the room without squinting.
A trackpad is only half a remote if you can’t see where the pointer is. Screen view puts your computer on your phone and keeps it pointed at whatever you’re doing.
What you can do
Follows you around
The view moves with your pointer, so the part you care about is always on screen.
Zoom in close
Read small text on a big screen from across the room.
Fullscreen
Turn your phone sideways for a bigger view, with the trackpad right beside it.
Hear it too (Mac)
Listen to the Mac’s sound on your phone — with the picture, or on its own.
Volume at your fingertips
Turn the computer up or down without leaving the view.
How to start
- Install Remotype Host on your Mac or Windows computer.
- Connect your phone and open screen view.

Worth knowing
- Needs Remotype Host on a Mac or Windows computer. Not available on Linux.

Good for
- The laptop is plugged into the TV and the text is tiny. Zoom in on your phone.
- Started a long export? Keep an eye on it from the kitchen.
- Scrolling a recipe on the laptop while your hands are covered in flour.
- Looking after a computer that lives in a cupboard with no proper screen.
