Your iPhone, as a keypad
for your Mac.
Keys, wheels, sliders and a trackpad on the iPhone you already have. Profiles switch with the app you're using, keys show what's happening, and every press clicks under your finger.
Free · macOS 13 or later · every iPhone from the iPhone 4
Anything, anywhere
Buttons from half-size to 3×3, wheels with several jobs, shuttle wheels that keep going while you hold them turned, rollers, sliders, swipe pads, scrubbers, steppers and a trackpad, placed freely. Any action on a key, or a macro of several.
Follows your apps
Ready-made profiles for Photoshop, Premiere, Final Cut, Figma, Ableton, OBS, Zoom, Safari, Xcode, iTerm2 and more, laid out for each of your iPhones. Or build your own.
Live keys
Now Playing with album art, CPU, memory, network, battery, ping and the clock, right on the keys. A stopwatch, timers, and Caffeinate to keep the Mac awake.
Feels like a real device
A click on press and release, a deeper click when you hold, wheel detents that follow your speed. It can even out the vibration, so a tap far from the Taptic Engine feels like one right next to it.
Cable, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
All three at once with automatic failover. Connected with a code confirmed on both screens and encrypted, so nothing else on your network can listen in or take over. Several phones at once, each with its own name; forget or block one from either side.
Lock Screen and Shortcuts
The Mac's timer and stopwatch as Live Activities on your iPhone, and Mac commands from Shortcuts, Siri and Back Tap: play, pause, timers, keep the Mac awake, lock it.
Fits every iPhone
Layouts adapt to each screen, portrait and landscape, from the iPhone 4 to the 18 Pro Max and the Duo.
