NetEase UU Remote has published a third-party app integration protocol on GitHub, allowing developers to add a PC remote-control entry point inside their own iOS and Android apps. In the example described, an AI coding assistant could add a "connect to work computer" button. On first use, the user is redirected to UU Remote to select and bind a Windows PC or Mac. After that, later taps can launch a remote session directly without making the user search for the device again. The remote-control feature supports both full-screen mode and picture-in-picture, so users can keep using other mobile apps while operating a computer through a floating UU Remote window. NetEase said developers can also receive connection results in small-window mode, including whether the target device is offline or whether the connection failed. The company said the release covers only a cross-app invocation protocol. It does not include the remote-control engine source code, and it is not an interface for AI to operate a computer automatically. Third-party apps still rely on the installed UU Remote client, while the actual remote session is handled by NetEase. At present, controlled devices are limited to Windows and macOS, and the mobile side requires UU Remote version 4.42.0 or later.
NetEase UU Remote has published a third-party app integration protocol on GitHub, allowing developers to add a PC remote-control entry point to their own iOS and Android applications, according to ChainCatcher.
ChainCatcher said one example is an AI coding assistant adding a "connect to work computer" button. On the first tap, the user is redirected to UU Remote, where they select and bind their own Windows PC or Mac. After the initial setup, the next tap can launch the remote-control session directly, without requiring the user to search for the device again.
The remote-control feature supports both full-screen and picture-in-picture modes. That means users can keep using other apps on their phones while operating a computer through a floating UU Remote window. ChainCatcher cited a use case in which a user leaves home and wants to check from a third-party app whether Claude Code or Codex on a Mac has finished its task.
For developers, UU Remote can return connection results in small-window mode, making it possible to determine whether the target device is offline or whether a connection attempt has failed.
NetEase is opening a cross-app invocation protocol, not the source code of its remote-control engine, and not an interface that lets AI automatically operate a computer. Third-party apps still need to call an installed UU Remote client, while the actual remote-control process is completed by NetEase.
At present, controlled devices are limited to Windows and macOS. On mobile, users need UU Remote version 4.42.0 or later.
