Local Wi-Fi control for a phone you own. No cloud relay.

Why this exists

LocalPilot was built for stubborn, everyday situations: a phone with a dead or cracked touch screen, a spare handset under the TV, recovering files or finishing setup when you cannot tap the panel. It stays on your Wi-Fi on purpose so control is not exposed to the public internet.

How the two apps fit together

Remote (Android) installs on the phone you want to drive. It shows an IP address.
Controller (iPhone, iPad, or Android) installs on the device in your hand. Type that IP and connect.

Get the apps

Controller: search for LocalPilot Controller in the App Store or Play Store.
Remote: Download LocalPilot Remote on Google Play.

Safety

Use only on phones and networks you are allowed to operate.
Not for hacking, stalking, or controlling someone else's device without permission.
Not for remote access over the internet. That was left out deliberately.
Keep both devices on the same trusted Wi-Fi. Turn off router client / AP isolation if they cannot see each other.

Common fixes

On the remote phone, finish setup: notifications, accessibility, and unrestricted battery.
If the address changes after a reboot, open Remote once and copy the new IP into Controller.
Screen sharing needs a one-time approve tap on the phone each session; buttons still work without video.
