Download (all three are the same PhoneEdge 1.8.2):

  • PhoneEdge-1.8.2-Setup.exe (~57 MB): run it, done. It also updates an older PhoneEdge (your settings stay). Not sure? Take this one.
  • PhoneEdge-1.8.2-win-x64-bundled.zip (~79 MB): no installer, .NET included.
  • PhoneEdge-1.8.2-win-x64.zip (~13 MB): for PCs that already have the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime.

Already on 1.6, 1.7 or 1.8? Click Update now in the tray panel (or Settings → General → Check for updates). The phone extras on your phone update themselves the next time PhoneEdge connects. "Windows protected your PC"? PhoneEdge isn't code-signed yet: click More info → Run anyway.

The hot corner, better

  • Push again to go back. The remote is open and you push into the corner again: the phone goes back to the app you were in. If its screen was off before, it turns off again.
  • No waiting. Out of the corner and straight back in toggles the remote at once (it used to ignore you for 2 seconds).
  • Choose how long to push: Settings → Mouse & keyboard → Hot corner: how long to push, from Instant to 1 second.
  • A filling ring in the corner shows how far your push is (not with Instant).
  • Locked phone? The unlock shows right away (face, fingerprint or PIN), then the remote opens. Tip: add your PC as a trusted device in the phone's Smart Lock / Extend Unlock settings and it opens with no unlock at all while your phone is near the PC. PhoneEdge never sees or stores your PIN.
  • Faster: the remote opens in about 0.05 s instead of 0.3 s, with a small buzz on the phone.
  • Quieter: just "Remote on " on the PC.

Everything new in 1.8 (the hot corner, the PC player on your phone, the remote widget and tile): see PhoneEdge 1.8.

Tested on a Honor Magic V3 (Android 16) with Windows 11. Includes scrcpy 5.0.1 (with SDL3, FFmpeg, libusb), adb and NAudio; their licenses are in the download.
