RemotePC by Breadworks is a “local-network-only” remote control tool with a very clear goal: turning an Android phone or tablet into a touchpad, keyboard, and system controller for a Windows PC. It emphasizes no accounts, no cloud servers, and no data collection. All connections happen over the same Wi‑Fi or LAN, so it is closer to a local network controller than a traditional remote desktop product designed for access over the public internet.
The feature set is fairly complete: mouse movement, clicks, drag-and-drop, scrolling, and text input; system volume and media playback controls; and actions such as shutdown, restart, lock, sleep, and log out. It can also display real-time CPU, RAM, battery, and CPU/GPU temperature information. In addition, it offers Android-to-PC local file transfer over TCP, low-latency desktop mirroring with audio streaming, and instant screenshots saved to the Android device. The client requires Android 8.0+ and 2GB RAM, while the host side supports Windows 10/11 and is around 40MB.
RemotePC’s biggest selling point is that it requires no account and no cloud service. The Windows Listener only listens on the local network, and pairing is done via the PC’s local IP address. The page also states that the host program does not install a background service or a startup item. In terms of ecosystem, the Android app is available from Google Play and Uptodown, and there is a public Trello roadmap and bug tracker. The documentation includes a three-step getting started guide, system requirements, a connection help video, an explanation of SmartScreen warnings, and a VirusTotal scan link, making it reasonably accessible for regular users.
The product is free, ad-free, and promises to remain free. The developer accepts voluntary support via Buy Me a Coffee, including one-time contributions of $3, $5, $10, or a custom amount, as well as monthly membership tiers at $2/$4/$6. For personal users, the value is excellent, but this also means commercial-grade SLAs, enterprise support, or long-term maintenance guarantees are not reflected on the page.
Its strengths are clear privacy boundaries, easy setup, focused functionality, and no cloud dependency. The downsides are also obvious: platform support is limited to Android controlling Windows, and both devices must be on the same LAN, so it is not suitable for remote work from another location. The Windows installer is not code-signed and may trigger a SmartScreen warning. Although the page explains why and provides verification methods, it may still affect user trust. It is well suited for controlling home media setups, wireless control at a desk, temporary file transfers, and lightweight desktop viewing. If you need remote control over the public internet, multi-platform support, or enterprise collaboration, consider RustDesk, AnyDesk, Chrome Remote Desktop, KDE Connect, and similar tools.
The main content does not provide information on accessibility from mainland China, download source connectivity, or payment availability. Google Play and Buy Me a Coffee may involve access or payment uncertainty in China, so before using it, it is worth confirming how to obtain the Windows installer and Android APK, as well as whether your local network setup meets the requirements.
