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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: UniPad at Free against Remote Mouse Pro's $14.99. UniPad also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). Remote Mouse Pro's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 3). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
UniPad is free to download; Remote Mouse Pro costs $14.99 up front. Remote Mouse Pro sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. UniPad asks for nothing beyond the download.
Remote Mouse Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Mouse Pro has 4.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Remote Mouse Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of UniPad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Remote Mouse Pro ships an update every 3 weeks, UniPad every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
