Turn your iPhone into a trackpad and keyboard for your Mac Trackpad Remote finds your Mac on the same Wi-Fi and connects to it directly. Nothing travels through a server on the way, and the connection is encrypted end to end. A REAL TRACKPAD Slide to move the pointer. Tap to click, two fingers to right-click, two to scroll, pinch to zoom, hold and slide to drag, three fingers to switch spaces. The pointer follows your finger the way it does on the Mac itself. A REAL KEYBOARD Type into whatever is in front of you on the Mac, accents and all languages included. Modifier keys are there when you need them, and the shortcuts you use every day are one tap away: copy, paste, undo, save, find, close, quit, switch app. MEDIA AND VOLUME See what your Mac is playing. Play, pause, skip, change the volume, dim or brighten the screen and the keyboard backlight. THE REST OF THE MAC Mission Control, App Windows, Show Desktop, Spotlight, Notification Centre. Capture the screen or a part of it. Lock, sleep, start the screensaver, turn the displays off, restart or shut down. Open Finder, Safari, Music and the apps in your Dock — your Dock is mirrored on the phone, in order. SET UP ONCE Trackpad Remote needs a small companion app on the Mac; the instructions and the download link are inside this app. It lives in the menu bar, asks for the Accessibility permission macOS requires to move a pointer, and otherwise stays out of the way. Pairing is a six-digit code shown on the Mac, once. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no servers. Your Mac and your iPhone talk to each other and to nobody else. The Mac only accepts devices you have paired, and you can stop accepting new ones after the first. Trackpad Remote needs the companion app on a Mac running macOS 14 or later. Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
