SoundRemote

SoundRemote is an open-source Android application for listening to audio from a PC and controlling that PC remotely. It is intended for people who want to manage PC media playback from an Android phone. The PC component is provided as a Windows server through soundremote.github.io.

The application supports remote execution of hotkeys. A phone shake can be used to skip to the next track, and video playback can be paused from the phone’s lock screen. Users can also add and execute custom hotkeys for actions they want to trigger remotely.

SoundRemote is listed in the Internet & Browsers category of the Android catalog. Its open-source license identifies it as software whose development is based on openly available source material, rather than a proprietary closed product. The combination of an Android application and a Windows server places it across the phone and PC parts of the setup.

MirrorNest distributes the official SoundRemote build directly from its own storage. Before publishing, MirrorNest scans the mirrored build for malware. This gives Android users a catalog-based way to obtain the application while preserving the connection to its official build.
