  "account": "Remote Mouse enables a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet, to function as a user-friendly remote control for a computer. It converts the device into a wireless mouse, keyboard, and touchpad, along with various specialized control panels for quick tasks. The app features intuitive one-handed controls and works with iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OS, and Linux systems. A Connection Bar on the app provides an overview of the active app, window title, and playing media, ensuring users know what their computer is currently doing. The app supports multi-touch gestures for seamless control, allowing users to watch videos, fill the house with music, or run presentations remotely. With the introduction of Connection Codes, connecting to Remote Mouse is simpler and more secure, with an automatic 6-digit code displayed on Mac for new connections, and the option to regenerate the code on the phone without disrupting the current connection.",
