Stay in the Answer
Keep your attention on the problem and your editor rather than searching the overlay for the next-stage button.
Quiet Mobile Control
Drive Practice Sessions from Your Phone with Remote Pad
Keep typing through a coding rehearsal or talking through a design while your phone advances the answer stages. Pair in seconds from a QR code on your desktop.
How It Works
3-Step QR Code Mobile Pairing
Runs in your mobile browser with no app store installation.
- 01
Scan the Desktop QR Code
Open ClawPad on your Mac or PC, enable Remote Pad, and scan the one-time pairing QR code with your phone camera.
- 02
Pair the Device Session
Your phone joins over your local network with a single-session pairing token. The transport is a plain local HTTP and WebSocket connection, so use it only on a network you trust.
- 03
Control from Beside Your Keyboard
Tap to trigger a question screenshot, cycle through system design talk tracks, and review database schemas while your hands stay on the keys.
Practice Benefits
Why a Phone Controller Helps in Rehearsal
Built so a practice run keeps its flow instead of pausing to manage the overlay.
Keep Typing
Continue writing code or notes while advancing your talk track from a phone resting beside your laptop.
Trigger a Question Scan
Capture and analyze the practice question on screen with a single tap on your phone.
Part of the $39/mo Focus Plan
Remote Pad control is listed in every ClawPad subscription plan; there is no separate add-on.
Remote Pad FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions on Remote Pad
Details on the transport, setup, and mobile compatibility.
What is Remote Pad?
Remote Pad is a mobile web companion included with ClawPad. By scanning a pairing QR code on your desktop, you can use your phone to page through answer stages and trigger question scans without reaching for the mouse mid-rehearsal.
Does Remote Pad require installing an app from the App Store or Google Play?
No. Remote Pad runs in any mobile browser on your local network. Each pairing issues a short-lived token that the desktop stores only as a hash.
Is the Remote Pad connection encrypted?
Not yet. Remote Pad is a beta feature that is disabled by default, listens only on a private IPv4 address it discovers on your current Wi-Fi or Ethernet network, and exposes no screen content. Its local HTTP and WebSocket transport is not encrypted, so pair only on a network you trust.
Why control the overlay from a phone during practice?
Rehearsal works best when you keep typing or talking through the answer. Advancing stages from a phone beside your keyboard keeps your practice flow uninterrupted instead of stopping to find an overlay button.
