## What is choclift?

Access apps, Apple Shortcuts, websites and Emojis on your Mac using your iPhone.

You know how the mouse, keyboard and trackpad define how we interact with Mac? Turns out there’s a fourth interface. Introducing choclift, the sweeter way to work with Mac.

Deliciously easy: Install choclift on your iPhone and Mac, make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network, and connect once. That’s it.

Your taste, your layout: Choose the Mac apps, Shortcuts and websites your workflow can’t get enough of and arrange them in a layout that fits your needs. With the optional “Added Sugar” subscription or one-time purchase, you can unlock additional pages for your setup.

Introducing Emoji Bar: Add emojis to any text on your Mac with a simple tap on your iPhone, and customize up to eight slides of your favorite emojis. 

Apple Shortcuts Support: Create simple to advanced Shortcuts with the Apple Shortcuts app, add them to your choclift bar, and top them with custom emojis.

Add Website Bookmarks: Your favorite URLs are just one tap away. 

Finger Gestures: Minimize and maximize windows with two fingers or trigger actions like copy and paste in a fast and intuitive way. Gestures are executed locally through the companion Mac app.

App Time Travel: Scroll through a timeline of your recently opened Mac apps and pin your favorites to quickly jump between workflows. Available with the optional “Added Sugar” upgrade. Pricing is shown in-app.

Drag & Drop, sweetly upgraded: Use your mouse to drag files on your Mac and choclift on your iPhone to quickly access the target app, no matter which desktop it’s on.

Portrait or landscape: Use choclift the way you like. Rotate your iPhone and place it wherever it fits best into your setup.

Every workflow is different, so we hope many people will discover new ways to lift their productivity to new heights with our little tasty treat.

Important: choclift requires the companion Mac app to function. All actions are executed locally on your Mac through the companion app. The iPhone app acts as a touch interface for your Mac and does not open or control iPhone apps.

To unlock the full choclift experience, choclift offers an optional auto-renewing subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.

### 5/5 — Great app but some suggestions

*2026-07-08*

The app is really cool as it is. However, I think the option to create a widget with the doc on the Home Screen of the iPhone would be nice so people could open apps quickly from there. Also the opportunity to change the background would be nice too.

### 4/5 — Suggest for other devices

*2026-07-01*

The app works seamlessly when combined with macbook and iphone, i own an ipad as well and tried on it. Turns out it doesn’t work correctly on that, I know this app isn’t particularly made for ipads but maybe it would super cool if you guys do it! Anyways kudos on the sick app!

### 1/5 — Invalid pin

*2026-06-24*

I was using this app every day and loved it. I can no longer connect my MB Pro. I get the error that the pin is invalid or that I need to update the app, every time. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and it still won’t connect. Really disappointed.

### 5/5 — Great work!

*2026-06-16*

Fnks! Add more layouts for switch another suits

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-15, version 2.1.1*

Works perfectly, minimal lag. Just need an iPad version now!

### 1/5 — $180 for 5 years. Nope.

*2026-06-10*

Would’ve happily paid $15 to own it. Deleted it right away when I saw it’s going to cost me $180 for 5 years. Read the room, people are sick of getting ripped off from subscriptions.

### 1/5 — Ok, mais… pourquoi un abonnement ?

*2026-06-09*

Après avoir lu la réponse du dev je dois arbitrer mon budget. L’apport fonctionnel / tarif n’est pas à la hauteur. Une réorganisation du dock remplace la version gratuite. Pour la version payante certains streamdecks ont un apport plus intéressant sans avoir d’applications à lancer ni provoquer d’usure de batterie sur le smartphone.

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour, et je suis ravi que l’application vous plaise.

Ce que je ne comprends pas tout à fait, c’est l’idée sous-entendue que la création et la maintenance d’une application comme celle-ci ne coûtent rien. Des centaines d’heures de travail, réalisées par plusieurs personnes très talentueuses, ont été nécessaires pour développer choclift, et nous aimerions continuer à l’améliorer et à ajouter de nouvelles fonctionnalités.

Donc non, il n’y a aucun coût de serveur impliqué. Toutes les actions sont exécutées localement sur votre Mac. L’abonnement nous permet simplement de continuer à développer l’application et, très concrètement, de payer notre loyer. 😄

### 2/5 — Not Working

*2026-06-08*

I have downloaded the app to my Mac and 2 separate iPhones, neither iPhone will connect. I add the code and click the connect button numerous times but nothing ever happens like the button is doing nothing to trigger the action. iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Please address the issue and I will update my review. Thanks. Looks really awesome hope I get to actually test it.

### 2/5 — Ну такое

*2026-06-06*

В целом прикольная вещь. Когда в первый раз ввел пин сработало. Потом уже нет (Прошу исправить🙏). Была доступна только одна страница где можно было в 8 квадратиках выбрать приложение, сайт и команду. Чтобы добавить такие страницы нужна, к сожалению, подписка.

### 5/5 — Delightful at every step.

*2026-06-03*

What a wonderfully designed app. From the App Store screenshots to every tap in the app, it is delightful at every step. It works really well, and provides great integration with the Mac and Vision Pro. Couldn’t be happier.
