Move Your PC Cursor Past Your Screen Edge

Experience seamless cross-device control: move your desktop cursor onto your Android smartphone or tablet over Wi-Fi without cables or root.

The Multi-Device Productivity Barrier

Throughout your workday, your phone sits on your desk buzzing with two-factor authentication prompts, WhatsApp chats, team alerts, and mobile notifications.

Constantly picking up your phone breaks your mental focus. Traditional alternatives all have frustrating compromises:

Slow

Bluetooth Multi-Pairing Switchers

Requires pressing a hardware toggle key and waiting 2 to 4 seconds for Bluetooth to reconnect every single time you switch devices.

Clutter

USB OTG & Hardware KVMs

Clutters your desk with physical cables, adapters, and external switches that tie your phone down.

Heavy Overhead

Screen Mirroring (Scrcpy / Link to Windows)

Consumes heavy PC GPU/CPU to decode video streams and takes up valuable desktop monitor real estate.

Input Leaf Solution

Pure Software KVM Over Wi-Fi

Your phone serves as its own standalone display on your desk. Gliding your cursor off your monitor edge seamlessly transitions control in under 2ms.

Common Questions

Controlling Android from PC FAQ

Screen mirroring tools like scrcpy capture your phone's screen video, compress it via H.264/H.265, and stream it to a window on your desktop. Input Leaf takes a different approach: your phone stays on its desk stand as its own physical display, and only mouse coordinates and keystrokes are transmitted over Wi-Fi. This eliminates video latency, uses almost zero PC CPU/GPU power, and preserves your mobile battery.
