Gmote vs PipePipe
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Gmote
Gmote turns Android into a remote control for a computer, allowing users to run movies and music at a distance. It supports all of the standard remote control features such as play, pause, rewind, volume controls etc. It also has a built-in file browser that lets you select what to play. Some typical use-cases are people launching and controlling movies while sitting back on their couch, or listening to music. It also has a touch pad feature which allows you to control your mouse from the phone, similar to a laptop touchpad (also sending keystrokes typed in on the phone to the computer). It's great for sitting back on the couch while watching youtube or hulu. Status: Version 2.0.7 elsewhere exists but there isn't any source
