PocketCorder

PocketCorder is a straightforward tool that lets you control your Windows PC directly from your iPhone or Android phone. It mirrors your computer's screen to your mobile device, allowing you to interact with your desktop, run applications, and type commands as if you were sitting at your desk. This is particularly useful for developers who want to check on code or make quick fixes without being physically present at their computer.

The tool works by installing a small application on your PC and a companion app on your smartphone. You connect the two by scanning a QR code, which establishes a secure link. It uses a Cloudflare Tunnel for remote access, so you don't need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. Key features include real-time screen sharing with minimal lag, the ability to save and tap to execute frequently used commands, and an app selection mode that filters your PC screen to show only the windows you want to control.

This is ideal for software developers, system administrators, or anyone who needs occasional remote access to their primary workstation. The main use case is making quick code edits, restarting processes, or checking on long-running tasks from the couch, a coffee shop, or while traveling. It's a simple solution for those moments when you just need to reach your computer without rushing back to it.
