How is it different from the already existing Remote app by Apple?

Functionality wise both are similar. Although, the Apple app only works on Apple devices. Whereas, this is a web app, you can open it on any device with an internet browser. And it works without Internet too.
Make a hotspot ➡ open the displayed link in a browser ➡ annnd you're good to go! 🚀
