Mobile Buddy

Mobile Buddy is a super easy-to-use app that lets you connect your iOS or Android smartphone to your Mac. You can do this through the same local area network, turning your phone into a remote mouse and keyboard!

Getting Started with Mobile Buddy

To start using Mobile Buddy, you need to install two things: the server app on your Mac and the Mouse Kit mobile app on your smartphone. Make sure both devices are on the same LAN for everything to work smoothly.

Simplified Interface

When you open the application, it runs quietly in the background. You'll notice a small icon pop up in the OS X status bar. The interface is super simple – just one small window that shows your server's IP address and port number.

Setting Up Your Connection

For your phone and Mac to connect, you'll need to set up the Mouse Kit app on your smartphone manually. Just enter your Mac's IP address as the server and use the same port number displayed in Mobile Buddy's window.

The Benefits of Using Mobile Buddy

Once both apps are connected, they really shine together! You can use your smartphone as a wireless mouse during presentations or even control various functions on your Mac like locking/unlocking it, switching desktop modes, or playing/pausing movies with ease. This makes everything so much more convenient!

A Handy Tool for Work and Play

Overall, Mobile Buddy is an awesome server application for OS X and Windows. When paired with its mobile app, Mouse Kit (available for iOS or Android), it allows you to control your Mac remotely without any fuss.

This tool can be super helpful at work for presentations or meetings. Plus, it's great for everyday activities like watching movies or browsing photos!
