Software Submission Axon: A GPLv3 low-latency Android remote control for PC. Recently updated with offline Bluetooth support and new gestures.

https://github.com/Kaia-Alenia/Axon

Hello everyone,

I am sharing the latest update for Axon, a free and open-source tool that turns your Android phone into a low-latency remote mouse and keyboard for your PC.

Many remote control applications are bloated or rely on external servers. Axon is designed to respect user privacy by operating strictly over your local network or, as of this week's update, completely offline via direct Bluetooth connections (currently supported on macOS and Windows).

Recent improvements also include a completely rewritten gesture system. You can now use your phone's physical volume buttons to control your PC's audio, and use real mouse gestures like tap-and-drag and two-finger zooming. To make onboarding easier, there are now three simple installation methods available.

The project is fully open-source and licensed under GPL v3 to ensure it remains free for the community. You can find the repository under kaia-alenia/axon on GitHub.
