LAN only — no cloud, no account

Sigil

A private phone remote for a Windows streaming setup.

Sigil turns a phone browser into a fast LAN remote for a streaming PC — no cloud, no account, no remote-desktop service. Everything runs between your phone and your PC over your own network.

Large controls and phone-first interaction, shaped around chronic hand pain and staying on the couch.

Two modes

Home for control. Remote for the screen.

Sigil is built around two screens on your phone, switched with a tap.

Home

Everything you need without looking at the TV.

  • Choose a service: Stremio, Netflix, Twitch, Kick, or VLC
  • System playback control
  • System volume and per-app volume
  • Audio-output switching
  • Sleep timer
  • Pause and sleep the PC
  • Couch Mode

Remote

For when you actually need to see and touch the screen.

  • Live screen preview
  • Touchpad with relative pointer control and tap-to-click
  • Playback controls
  • Type into the active window using your phone's keyboard
What it does

Everything you'd get up for, from the couch.

Multi-service remote

Stremio, Netflix, Twitch, Kick, and VLC, all from one screen.

Live screen preview

See the PC's screen on your phone, with a touchpad and tap-to-click.

Phone keyboard, PC window

Type on the PC using your phone's own keyboard.

Audio control

System volume, per-app volume, and audio-output switching.

Sleep timer

Set a sleep timer, or pause and sleep the PC directly.

Persistent pairing

Reconnect handling for a pairing that holds up — local network only.

Streaming from a PC shouldn't mean getting up whenever a search box, a Skip Intro button, a subtitle menu, or the wrong display gets in the way.

Sigil keeps that control in your hand instead — without a cloud account, and without leaving the couch.

How it works

Three steps.

1

Run the host

A small Windows host runs on your streaming PC.

2

Pair your phone

Pair a phone on the same local network.

3

Control from the couch

Switch services, control playback and audio, or open Remote for the screen.
