LAN-only · secure remote launcher

Launch your PC apps from your phone

wowLauncher launches the programs you pre-register on your PC — with one tap, over your own Wi-Fi. Pair with a QR code, and the phone can only run apps you allowed. No arbitrary commands, ever.

How it works

Three steps, all on your local network.

1

Register apps on your PC

Run the desktop agent and add the programs you want to launch — pick the app, the icon comes automatically.

2

Pair with a QR code

Scan the QR shown on your PC and approve the request. A hashed token is stored on the PC; the plaintext stays on your phone.

3

Tap to launch

Your registered apps appear as an icon grid. Tap one and it launches on your PC — every launch is logged.

Built for safe remote launching

Powerful where it should be, locked down where it matters.

Registered apps only

The phone sends only an app id. Paths and arguments come solely from the PC — no command injection surface.

QR pairing

Single-use pairing codes that rotate on approval. Block or remove devices anytime.

LAN-only

Works on the same Wi-Fi. Nothing is exposed to the public internet by default.

11 languages

English, 한국어, Español, 中文, 日本語, Русский, Français, Deutsch, Tiếng Việt, Indonesia, हिन्दी.

Audit log

Every launch — who, what, when, success or failure — is recorded on the PC.

Security model

The whole point of wowLauncher is what it refuses to do.

The mobile app can only request a launch by app id — never a path, argument, or command.
Launches run without a shell (no injection surface); macOS .app bundles use open -a.
Access tokens are stored on the PC as a SHA-256 hash only; the plaintext lives only on the phone.
Pairing codes are single-use and rotate on approval; devices can be blocked or deleted.
