ActionPad allows you to create your own custom control panels to remote control applications on your computer. This app requires the ActionPad Server desktop software to be installed on your computer for full functionality. For more information on this, visit https://actionpad.co/go. Compatible with macOS and Windows. Panels can contain buttons and other objects, which can be used to simulate keyboard and mouse input, as well as open files and URLs. With grid and dynamic panel types, buttons can be arranged into a grid with customizable rows and columns, or positioned and sized anywhere you would like on your panel for infinite customization possibilities. Customize the appearance of buttons and other panel objects to give them a distinct look. Get ready to make your keyboard and mouse jealous. With ActionPad, you may implement buttons on your panel that: -Execute keystrokes, such as Command C or Ctrl V. -Move your mouse pointer or hold keys as you hold down the button. -Launch applications and open files on your computer. -Open websites in your default browser and interact with them. -Control media and volume on your computer. -Do all of these things with one press! You can have buttons send continuous keyboard and mouse input as you hold them down, or you can combine multiple actions to create simple or complex macros that will run with just one tap of the button! All of this, along with visual elements such as images, text, and containers can all be combined to create unique control panels, each of which with it's own purpose. Don't feel like creating your own panel, or want to use some pre-created panels for some of your favorite desktop apps? ActionPad features the Community Panels Hub, which allows users to upload and share panels they create. It's very easy to share panels and build upon everyone's creations. Along with sharing through the Community Panels Hub, you can also export your panel and send it via E-mail, AirDrop, or a variety of other mediums. No account needed to download user-made panels, only required if you wish to upload to share with other users. Whether it be a panel used to quickly access the most commonly used tools in Photoshop, extra shortcuts for DAW power users, controls for your cockpit in a space simulation game, or a remote control for your streaming setup, there is no limit to what you can create and control with ActionPad.

Read full description

wumble is a native voice chat client for Mumble, the open, self-hosted voice protocol communities have run their own servers on for years. You connect to a server your community runs. FEATURES • Push-to-talk. Hold to talk, release to stop, with a visible transmitting state so you always know when you're live. • The real Mumble protocol. wumble connects to any Mumble 1.5 server over an encrypted TLS control channel with encrypted voice, the protocol your server already runs. • Background voice. Keep talking while you check a map, switch apps, or lock your screen. • Bluetooth and wired headset routing. wumble picks up your headset automatically and gives you a one-tap speaker and earpiece toggle when you're not wearing one. • Mic boost and incoming volume. Lift a quiet microphone or a quiet channel without touching your phone's system volume. • Multiple saved servers. Switch between your community's server, a friend group's server, and anywhere else you connect. Passwords live in your device's secure keychain. • A full channel tree and text chat. Search channels, see who's online and who's talking, and drop a message without leaving voice. • Self-signed servers welcome. Most Mumble servers run on a certificate they generated themselves, and wumble shows you its fingerprint to confirm. WHO IT'S FOR wumble works well for raid groups, flight sim wings, ham radio nets, study groups, or any community that would rather talk on a server it controls. If yours hasn't set one up yet, several free and open source Mumble server projects will get you running quickly. PRIVACY Voice and control traffic are encrypted between you and your server. wumble doesn't run any servers of its own and has no visibility into your conversations. Connecting needs no account, just the server your community already uses.
