QuickTap is a minimalist iPhone remote built specifically for Mac. With a single tap, transform your phone into a wireless trackpad, portable keyboard, and shortcut control hub. Leave the physical keyboard and mouse behind. Q: Why create this app? A: The idea started simply: after moving, I connected an idle Mac mini to my TV to use as a dedicated media center. While the Mac is incredibly capable, navigating it from the sofa with a traditional mouse and keyboard was awkward and frustrating. So, I built QuickTap. I stripped away the clutter, focusing entirely on a minimalist control experience. It features four oversized buttons and a trackpad for cursor movement, clipboard-level text input, and Home Screen widgets that let you control your Mac without even opening the app. The result is a fluid, deeply integrated ecosystem. Itβs designed to feel exactly like a physical TV remoteβintuitive and entirely under your control. Now, when I get home from work, I can finally sink into the sofa and have my entire desktop right at my fingertips. Core Features: Fast & Seamless Connection: Prioritizes LAN for ultra-low, zero-latency response. Immersive Control: Combines a high-precision trackpad with intuitive, "eyes-free" physical button mapping. Home Screen Widgets: Instant control right from your iPhone Home Screenβno need to open the app. Lossless Clipboard Input: Type seamlessly on your phone, and the text appears instantly on your Mac. Endless Customization: Deeply personalize volume control, media playback (next/previous, fast-forward/rewind), seek durations, widget layouts, Siri Shortcuts, and gestures. Cross-Platform Support: Works flawlessly with both Mac and Windows, with no limit on the number of connected devices. First-Time Setup: This app requires a desktop receiver to function.

Video Compressor + Reduce Size

Your phone is almost full, and it's mostly videos. Deleting feels wrong, but keeping everything isn't working either. Compression is a better answer β the moments stay, the storage comes back. Now you can batch-compress multiple videos in one flow, so you donβt have to repeat the same steps again and again. You can also still send a video directly from Photos, Files, or another app through the Share menu and continue when you return. Choose a compression option to get started quickly, or set your own target file size for a single video. Not sure about the result? Preview an 8-second sample before committing, then decide whether to continue. Once compressed, preview the result and save it to your Photo Library or Files. If the original was from your Photo Library and the new version is saved, you can delete the original right from the results screen. Everything is processed on your device β no server uploads, no account required.
