Born from getting up every evening to skip an intro. Start one program on the PC, open the link it prints on your phone once, and the phone becomes a trackpad, a volume knob, a row of playback buttons and a power switch. It never leaves your Wi-Fi.

what it does

  • A touchpad that accumulates sub-pixel movement and flushes once per frame, so it feels close to a real one.
  • Play, pause, skip five seconds, next episode, skip intro.
  • One tap to open Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, Twitch or Crunchyroll on the PC.
  • Volume that reads the machine’s real level, and speeds up when you hold the button.
  • Shutdown behind a confirmation, because it has already been pressed by accident.
