NOTHING TO INSTALL ON THE COMPUTER Cortez Duo shows up as a standard Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. No app, driver or helper runs on the Mac. If a keyboard is allowed, Cortez Duo is allowed. WHAT IT DOES • Keyboard. A full keyboard with modifier keys and macOS key bindings. • Trackpad. Use your phone's screen as a precision trackpad and scroll surface. • Fill password.

The password leaves your phone only as keystrokes over Bluetooth. PRIVACY Cortez Duo has no account and no server, and it makes no network requests. The camera shows you the screen you are pointing at; anything it reads is read on your phone and never uploaded. No analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs.
