What's New in DeckPilot

1.4.0

September 18, 2026

Your Mac's clipboard, now on your phone. Clipboard, mirrored to your phone Everything you copy on your Mac lands in a searchable history on your iPhone. Pin the snippets you reuse, see when you copied each one, and send any of them back to your Mac with a tap. Images come through full-size in a clean, scrollable layout. Battery, CPU, and Memory on your Touch Bar Drop live system readouts straight into your global Touch Bar, so the numbers you keep an eye on are one glance away on every deck. Steadier on the newest iOS and macOS If the Local Network permission is blocking the connection, DeckPilot now spots it and takes you straight to the setting that fixes it. When a deck is slow to arrive it retries on its own and tells you what's happening, instead of spinning on "Waiting for deck" forever. Also in this update - Your deck fills the screen again the moment you unlock, no rotate needed - Recent Apps loads reliably again with the latest Mac app - Fixed a rare crash tied to haptics when reopening the app - Smoother, steadier reconnection throughout Requires DeckPilot for Mac 1.5.6 or later for Recent Apps and the newest fixes. Open DeckPilot on your Mac and choose Check for Updates to get it.

User reviews

Works amazingly well

This is exactly what I was looking for. Easy to use and macros/shortcuts work well. I reported a bug and the dev was super responsive. Highly recommend if you don’t want to buy a macropad or in my case have the space for it.

Forget a Stream Deck

Loving this utility even more than I imagined I would. Big thanks for such a great app.

Great Productivity Booster

As someone who uses a Macbook Pro for work, this app has been a gamechanger. I loved the features it offered, to be able to essentially have a stream deck without having to buy a whole new device. Because I enjoyed using it so much, I decided to purchase the Lifetime subscription and I use it every day, whether I’m at my desk or sitting elsewhere, I’ve always got it pulled up on my phone to use it! Highly highly recommend checking it out for yourself!

The PERFECT Companion

I can’t begin to explain how great this app is. It’s snappy, responsive, super customizable, and for me - a person with a few 3D Printers and an entire ecosystem of iOS and MacOS devices, it’s a Godsend.

Being able to use this with my decommissioned and unused iPhones helps give them purpose, slows me to control elements with a single finger, which GREATLY increases my productivity during heavy projects for work or with clients.

10/10 - HIGHLY recommended. So much so, that I got the Free Trial, and immediately bought the Annual Subscription. Well worth it!!!

Response from developer

Thank you, this made my day. The 3D printer use case is one I had not heard before, and I love that the decommissioned iPhones are getting a second life as control surfaces. That is exactly the kind of thing I built this for. Thank you for going from trial to annual on the same day. If you ever want to share what your printer deck looks like or have feature requests, my inbox is open at hello@deckpilot.co. Keshav
