Describe it
In one line
Glasspad turns your iPhone or Android phone into a trackpad, keyboard, remote and button deck for your Mac or PC. Free and open source.
In a paragraph
Glasspad is a free, open source (MIT) app that turns an iPhone or Android phone into a trackpad, keyboard, media remote and button deck for a Mac or Windows PC. It works as a trackpad with a tap you can feel, a keyboard, a remote for Netflix and YouTube, a clicker for slides, and buttons that follow the app in front. A phone app and a small app on the computer talk over your Wi-Fi, paired once by QR code and encrypted, with no account. It is made by Soham Aggarwal.
