## What is Pocket Mac Lab?

Your Mac. A whole new way to carry it.

Pocket Mac Lab brings your own Mac desktop to your iPhone, with a touch trackpad, an on-screen keyboard and seven original shells. Connect with the Mac companion to control your apps and hear your Mac audio.

YOUR DESKTOP, WHEREVER YOU ARE
Pair your iPhone with your Mac, then reconnect from home or another network. Your Mac must remain awake, online and running Pocket Mac Connector. Approved pairing is preserved across ordinary companion restarts; after restarting your Mac, you may need to sign in locally before remote access is available.

ROOM TO MOVE
Point, click, drag and two-finger scroll. Switch between the themed keyboard and a spacious trackpad, or pinch the Mac display to zoom. Fit the whole desktop again whenever you need every edge. Three-finger gestures switch Mac Spaces and open Mission Control when the corresponding Mac shortcuts are enabled.

BRING YOUR OWN SETUP
Use a compatible physical keyboard and mouse connected to your iPhone. Type, click, drag and scroll your connected Mac in folded and full-screen layouts. An additional large keyboard supports the languages enabled on your iPhone.

SEVEN ERAS. ONE LITTLE DESKTOP.
Choose Studio, Daybreak, Circuit, Midnight, Tide, Ember or Slate. Sculpted keys, worn finishes, playful switches and matching pear covers give each shell its own character. On iPhone Duo, fold into a little laptop or close it to show the matching cover.

A LITTLE DESKTOP, BUILT IN
Explore the local launcher, gallery, calculator, games and Photo Room without connecting a Mac. Photo Room offers a nine-filter grid and saves pictures in the app's gallery. These local mini apps do not run macOS; your connected Mac provides the real desktop.

PRIVATE PAIRING
First-time connection requires your Mac login and approval of a matching code on your Mac. Reconnecting an approved device does not require another QR scan each time. Optional remembered passwords are stored in device-only Keychain on your iPhone. You can forget the saved Mac or revoke sharing from the companion.

GETTING CONNECTED
Live Mac access requires the free signed and notarized Pocket Mac Connector on a compatible Mac running macOS 15 or later, macOS Screen Sharing and screen-recording permission. Additional Mac control permission enables brightness and media keys. Both devices need a working internet connection. Performance depends on the devices and both networks. Setup instructions and companion downloads are available at the support link below.

Pocket Mac Lab is a paid upfront app with no subscriptions or in-app purchases. It is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple.
