π Remote v0.1.2 — first public release
π Remote is an Android companion app plus Pi extension for controlling an existing, visible Pi TUI session from your phone. It is intended for developers who want to monitor, steer, follow up, attach files/images, switch sessions, and abort safely while Pi is already running on their machine.
Security: this is a developer tool, not a hardened public service. Use LAN, Tailscale, WireGuard, localhost, or SSH tunnels. Do not expose the WebSocket port directly to the public internet.

Important install note
Because the Android application ID changed during pre-public cleanup, this installs as a different app from earlier com.mstat.piremote builds. Uninstall any previous pi remote app first to avoid confusion, then install this APK and re-pair.
Play Protect warning
Google Play Protect may warn that it has not seen this developer before. That is expected for a new GitHub-distributed APK that is not yet distributed through Google Play. Only install APKs downloaded from this official release page.
