Android closed test
Help test Switchify Remote.
Switchify Remote turns an Android phone or tablet into an accessible Bluetooth remote for Windows and Apple-silicon Mac computers. The test is free, and I need at least 12 people to stay enrolled for 14 continuous days.
You need both devices
An Android phone or tablet, plus a Bluetooth-capable Windows PC or an Apple-silicon Mac. Switchify Remote does not work by itself.

Hi, I'm Owen. I use AAC, and I built Switchify to make controlling computers less frustrating when touchscreens, mice, and keyboards are not the right fit.
Switchify PC runs on Windows and Mac. Switchify Remote connects from an Android phone or tablet over Bluetooth. Once the two are paired, your phone becomes a simple remote.
You can move the pointer, click, drag, and scroll without reaching for a mouse. You can also type on your phone and send the text straight to the computer. The controls use large targets, clear labels, and work with Android accessibility tools such as TalkBack and Switch Access.
The connection stays between your phone and the paired computer. There is no account, cloud sync, or advertising.
I'm preparing Switchify Remote for Google Play, and I need at least twelve Android testers for a fourteen-day closed test. If you have an Android device and a Bluetooth-capable Windows PC or Apple-silicon Mac, I'd really value your help. Reply or message me, and I'll send you the invite.
