AirMouseDocumentation
Everything AirMouse does, how to set it up on each computer, and what to do when something does not behave.
Start here
Getting startedAirMouse has two halves: the app on your iPhone and a small free app on the computer. Five minutes from nothing to a working trackpad.RequirementsWhat AirMouse runs on, and what the network has to allow.Installing the computer appOne file per system, free. What happens the first time it runs, the permissions it needs, and how to update or remove it.Pairing and connectingHow the phone finds the computer, how trust is given once, and what happens when the connection drops.
Using AirMouse
TrackpadThe whole screen below the live view is a trackpad, with mouse buttons underneath.GesturesEight gestures, and that is the manual. Each one does what that computer's own trackpad does with it.KeyboardType on the computer from the phone, including the keys a phone keyboard does not have.Macros and profilesA macro is one tile that runs several steps in order. Profiles group them, and can follow whichever app is in front.ClipboardOne clipboard for two devices: text and pictures, in both directions, without a cloud in between.PresentingLeave the clicker at home. The phone that is always in your pocket moves the slides, and it is already paired.Media and volumePlay, pause and volume for whatever is playing on the computer, from across the room.PowerSleep, lock, log off, restart and shut down, each confirmed on the phone first.Live screenThe computer's display above the trackpad: a monitor in your hand, so you can see what you are driving.Settings and languagesEverything AirMouse lets you change, and the three languages it speaks.
