AirMouse

AirMouse for Windows

Your iPhone stays
your PC’s mouse.

A small app for the notification area. It pairs your iPhone and keeps it connected when the AirMouse app restarts, so the mouse comes back by itself.

Get it fromMicrosoft Store Or download AirMouse.exe
  • Windows 10 or 11
  • No admin rights
  • Free

On your iPhone? Open getairmouse.vercel.app/windows on your PC to get it there.

On an Android phone? It pairs with Windows like any Bluetooth mouse, with nothing to install. AirMouse for Windows is for iPhones.

What it fixes

Macs reconnect by themselves. Windows doesn’t.

When the AirMouse app restarts (after an update, a force-quit, or iOS closing it in the background), Windows removes its mouse and never connects to the iPhone again.

Without it

  1. The AirMouse app restarts
  2. Windows removes the mouse
  3. Bluetooth settings show the iPhone as “Not connected” until you remove it and pair again

With AirMouse for Windows

  1. The AirMouse app restarts
  2. The Bluetooth connection stays open
  3. The mouse comes back by itself. The icon is bright while Windows has it.

Pairing

It pairs your iPhone for you.

Bluetooth settings only list AirMouse once “Bluetooth devices discovery” is set to Advanced. AirMouse for Windows skips that: if your iPhone isn’t paired yet, it opens a pairing window.

  1. 01On the iPhone, open AirMouse and tap the connection status at the top.
  2. 02Tap Pair a new device.
  3. 03When both screens show the same code, tap Pair on each.

To pair again later, choose Pair with iPhone… from its menu. If the iPhone and the PC stop agreeing on the pairing, say after you forget the PC in the iPhone’s Bluetooth settings, the menu shows Pairing out of sync and walks you through pairing again.

Details

Small, and out of the way.

Windows 10 or 11

Windows 10 version 1809 or later, or Windows 11, with Bluetooth (AirMouse.exe also runs on 1703). It runs on the .NET Framework that comes with Windows.

Just for your account

Installs without admin rights and shows up in Start. Remove it from Settings › Apps › Installed apps.

Starts when you sign in

So the mouse is ready when you are. Turn that off from its menu.

Open source

The source and every release are on GitHub.

“Windows protected your PC”? That’s the download: AirMouse.exe isn’t code-signed. Choose More info, then Run anyway. If Smart App Control is on, Windows 11 won’t run it at all. The Microsoft Store version has neither problem, and updates itself.

Privacy

Nothing leaves your PC.

AirMouse for Windows doesn’t collect or send any data. It only talks to your iPhone over Bluetooth, and it keeps a small log on your PC of when the iPhone connects, which stays there.
