The program currently only supports Windows systems.

Theoretically, it also supports macOS and Linux systems, but you need to download the code to compile it yourself.

Download Section

  • 8-app version: 62xn

The 8-app version, as the name suggests, can only read the first 8 applications in the Excel table, and the rest cannot be read. The unlimited-app version can read to the end of the Excel file.

Usage Tutorial

After downloading, we will get 4 files. First, let’s understand what these files are for.

  • static: A folder for storing icons.
  • profile.xlsx: Used to store application configuration information.
  • Desktop Navigation Host Computer.exe: Used to test whether the program can run normally.
  • Desktop Navigation Host Computer_No Console.exe: Runs in the background.

Adding Applications

Here, “applications” refer to the file paths on the computer. It can be an exe file, shortcut, folder, website, image file, video file, document file, etc. In other words, anything that can be double-clicked to open on the computer can be called an “application.”

Note: Non-application files will be opened by the default application with the corresponding extension (e.g., pdf opens with Edge, mp4 opens with PotPlayer).

For example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
C:\Users\administrator\Documents
C:\Program Files\bilibili\哔哩哔哩.exe
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Adobe Premiere Pro 2022.lnk
E:\Documents\Study Materials.pdf
E:\Videos\Uploaded Video.mp4

Open the profile.xlsx file with Excel. The first row is a prompt not to move (if you do, it’s okay, because the program won’t read the first row anyway). Starting from the second row, add applications. The headers in the table are very user-friendly, so I don’t need to explain them one by one.

Note: All 4 items in the table must be filled in. Missing any one will cause the program to fail to run. See Testing Run for details.

Application Icons

All icon files must be placed in the static folder. It is recommended to create a new image or icon folder within it to store images.

The stored images must correspond to the paths in the table.

Testing Run

After writing the configuration file, run Desktop Navigation Host Computer.exe to test whether the program can run normally. It will display the IP to indicate normal operation.

If it cannot run normally, it will provide corresponding prompts, which are quite user-friendly.

Make sure to test it on your mobile device to see if it correctly displays the applications, correctly displays the images, and whether clicking to run reports any errors.

If it frequently fails to connect, please close the computer firewall or manually allow the application.

Start Running

Before running officially, make sure to [test run](#Testing Run) first. Otherwise, if the software reports an error, you won’t know what’s wrong. There will be no prompts when running, but you can check the running status in the Task Manager.
