## AI overview

Remote Mouse lets a phone or tablet control a computer as a mouse, keyboard, and touchpad, with panels for media, apps, and browsing. Setup requires installing the app and computer server, joining the same Wi-Fi network, and scanning the server's QR code. The update says the Connection Bar can show the active app, window title, and playing media, with playback controls available from the Media Remote panel. It also introduces connection codes for Remote Mouse Helper on Mac: new installations enable connection protection by default and show a six-digit code for new devices. Windows and Linux updates are described as coming soon. Regenerating a code from the phone stops the current connection, so the phone must reconnect manually.
