Use case
Reach your computer from your phone
Your office or home computer is as close as the phone in your pocket. With the SkyyDesk Android app you watch the computer's screen live, move the mouse by touch and type with the on-screen keyboard. The connection is end-to-end encrypted and needs no router configuration.
Connected in three steps
- Open SkyyDesk on the computerDownload and run SkyyDesk on the Windows or Linux computer. The computer's ID and password appear on screen.
- Install the Android app on your phoneDownload the app from skyydesk.com; it runs on phones with Android 5.1 or later and a 64-bit ARM processor. Because the file comes from the website, your phone may ask you to allow installs from unknown sources.
- Type the ID and connectEnter the computer's ID in the app. Either the person at the computer accepts the connection, or you sign in with the password you set.
When nobody is at the computer
To connect to a home or office computer without anyone accepting, SkyyDesk is installed on it as a service with a fixed password. This unattended access comes with a licence; in the free version the person at the computer accepts the connection.
The difference between the free and licensed versions is on the Pricing page.
What you can do from the phone
- Watch the computer's screen live
- Move the mouse pointer by touch and type with the on-screen keyboard
- Transfer files between the phone and the computer
- Switch between screens on a computer with several monitors
Good to know
- There is no app for iPhone or iPad.
- The Android app works both ways: your phone can be connected to as well.
- The connection is end-to-end encrypted. The devices connect directly; when that is not possible, the encrypted traffic passes through ELPO Bilişim's relay server in Turkey.
Two downloads are all it takes: one for the phone, one for the computer.
