UniPad is a Universal Mousepad for the Mac. Please install the companion app (also called UniPad) on the Mac. Use your iPhone/iPad as a mousepad or trackpad for your Mac. This is a simple utility that uses bluetooth only. There is no need for WIFI so this app (like all my other apps) is privacy oriented. Primary features: 1. Use your iPhone/iPad as a Mouse/Trackpad for your Mac 2. Uses only bluetooth, does not need WIFI 3. Supports Mouse dragging with Multi-touch 4. Supports two finger scroll This app requires the Accessibility permission to send mouse input to the Mac. One more reason why all my apps use only bluetooth. I am paranoid about privacy/security and don't think an app like this should have connectivity to WIFI/Internet. Let me know what you are looking for from this app. Support for many more devices is coming.
