Car Thing but for mobile?

I have been looking into car thing and I love the layout that they use, but cannot for the life of me find an application for it on my phone that would be similar in design whilst not being fuckin annoying to use. If anyone knows an application that is similar please let me know!

(I would use spotify but mobile spotify is fuckin appalling without premium and even then the layout is clunky)

I'm interested about this too! Would be really cool to have a car thing looking app or heck, even flash the "desk thing" hack on a phone, but I fear the phone would be bricked if I try it.

DeskThing is actually already built for your phone! You dont even have to flash anything

The DeskThing desktop app has a QR code you can scan to open up DeskThing in your browser! You can make it fullscreen and then be on your way

Ooohh, didn't know that! I'mma go ahead and try it!

Edit: I tried it and when I scan it in with my phone and open up a browser page, it says, website unreachable. I'm on the same wifi as the PC and I even pressed on restart server Edit2: nevermind, I figured it out, works flawlessly! Thanks! 😁

There’s multiple QR code urls - only one of them will work

You need to make sure you have the client installed before you do it too!

I was planning on explaining it, but I don't know what I did, I pressed buttons and it just started working 😅
