CTRL 0.5.1

Donate now goes through Stripe: pay in euros by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.

CTRL 0.5.0

Donate: a new Donate page in Settings. Pay by Visa or Mastercard, EcoCash or OneMoney on a secure Payonify page.

CTRL 0.4.2

Fixes Android tablets and phones freezing and running out of memory when a second connection arrived after a first one (the old session screen kept restarting its ended session). The device's own screen now says who ended a session correctly. Includes signed connections, monitor pictures and the corner mark from 0.4.0.

CTRL 0.4.1

Fixes the Android version number (0.4.0 still reported itself as 0.3.0). Everything from 0.4.0: signed connections on Windows, Android and web with a Verified code, monitor pictures, corner mark, hardened Windows app.

CTRL 0.4.0

Signed connections: each device proves who it is on every connection and your other devices check it (Windows, Android and web). Shows Verified with a short code to compare. The monitor picker shows a picture of each screen. A small corner mark with the device name and time sits over the remote screen (can be turned off). The Windows app is hardened against being run as a plain Node shell.

CTRL 0.3.0

Clear roles on the home screen: Control another device or Be controlled. Every device has an ID and password; Android can now be controlled by ID. New look across Windows, Android and the web app.

CTRL 0.2.2

Use CTRL without signing in: set up a device on its own and add an email and password later in Settings. Android can now check for updates and install them from Settings, About.

CTRL 0.2.1

Clearer pairing: signing in on a device no longer shows a QR code, the screens now say which device is being controlled and which one controls, and Add device opens with Scan QR as the main action.

CTRL 0.2.0

Share a PC with a guest link, wake a sleeping PC, browse and download files from a controlled PC (Windows and Android), screenshots and recordings in the web viewer.

CTRL 0.1.0

The first public release of CTRL: control any of your devices from any other.

What's in it

• Windows app: control this PC from your other devices, and control them from it. A banner shows whenever the PC is being controlled, with Pause and End, and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+X ends every session at once.
• Android app: control your PC from your phone with touch, a trackpad mode, the keyboard and special keys; or let your phone or tablet be controlled.
• Files and clipboard: send files of any size, straight across your Wi-Fi when you share one.
• One switch: the power button turns CTRL off on that device, background work included, until you turn it back on.

iPhone, iPad and Mac: open app.ctrl.chitemere.co.zw in the browser. No install needed.
