Use your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch as a wireless keyboard and trackpad for your Raspberry Pi!
This universal application lets you send keystrokes and mouse events to you Raspberry Pi computers over TCP/IP via a wired or wireless network.
Remote Pi is ideal for making the best out of a Raspberry Pi in the living room, or office too. Use for:
- Browsing
- Emailing
- Text editing
- Drawing
- Controlling media players

Remote Pi Reviews

Works fine

Installed the driver, per the directions. Installed this app. Configured the iOS app and it connects right away after restarting the iOS app. Had to watch the video on his webpage to understand how the mouse events are supported Would like to see some gestures support so that mouse scroll events could be transferred up to allow easier web page browsing

Where has this app been my whole life?

Oh, it’s super old? Well at any rate I’m glad I found it, better late than never. It even works with RetroPie so I can fully access my Pi from emulation station or the desktop without anything other than my phone. Well worth $2.

Don't download this

The remotepi program that runs on the Raspberry Pi side has not been updated in many years and only supports armhf, which makes it useless for most of us. So, I'm out $2.

Not all Pis work

Must be armhf, will not work with arm64

Works!

Got it to work, though it took a few tries

Luis Please help

I’m connected to the same network, have the correct IP and port and it won’t recognize my Rasberry Pi 3. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the install shows it is correctly setup and running. Please help

doesnt work at all dont buy

connects but just never sends any keystrokes. i was really excited about this purchase but was let down.

Does not connect and nowhere to find a support contact

Just bought and installed this last night. It does not detect my pi. And yes they are in the same network. The description in the website is poorly documented on how to install/detect/troubleshoot from the pi. It only shows how to use. Well we need to connect before we can use. And please add a contact support on your web so we wouldn’t need to write a bad review to ask for help

Can’t get iPad Pro 11 to use mouse correctly

Great app, but for some reason I can’t get the mouse to perform any command. Have full control and can move the mouse across screen. Keyboard works great.

Works very well

I wanted to use raspberry pi on the TV in my kitchen without a mouse or keyboard. Since my iPhone is usually in my pocket, this software allows me to use the iPhone as trackpad and keyboard. Beautiful!
