About

STIL.HUB

Features
Read full description

STIL.HUB turns your iPhone into a control surface for your Mac. Lay out the actions you use most as buttons, then tap to run them. Keep the iPhone on your desk and switch apps, take screenshots, or run a saved routine without moving your hands off the keyboard. Turn it sideways for a desk layout with a clock and menu, and it works as a desk clock too. ■ What you can do - Launch and switch apps (pick from what is installed on your Mac) - Send keystrokes (copy, paste, screenshots, and more) - Turn the iPhone screen into a trackpad for your Mac's cursor (tap to click, two fingers to scroll and right-click, press and hold to drag, flick with two fingers for momentum scrolling) - A remote for video (play and pause, previous and next, 10-second skip, chapters, captions, full screen, volume, brightness). The lower half stays a trackpad - Run Shortcuts - Run scripts (Python, shell, and others; results come back to the iPhone, and you can schedule them by time) - Media controls such as volume and playback - Send text you type or dictate on iPhone to the input field on your Mac - Send text you copied on iPhone to your Mac - Run the numbers in the iPhone calculator and send the result to your Mac (arrow keys and Enter included) - Screenshots (area, full screen, and toolbar) - Browse folders on your Mac from the iPhone to open or receive files - Give each app its own deck, and your iPhone follows when you switch apps on the Mac - Run actions straight from Home Screen and StandBy widgets - Start quickly from templates (Claude, Cursor, Xcode, Final Cut Pro, video sites, and more) - Edit your decks from the Mac as well ■ Connection and privacy - Pair once with a 6-digit code while the iPhone and Mac are on the same network - Traffic stays on your local network and is encrypted. Nothing goes to a server - No account required. No data collected Get the free Mac companion app "STIL.HUB Companion" at stil.photo/hub and move it to your Applications folder.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: STIL.HUB at none against QuickPad's shown. STIL.HUB also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). QuickPad's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
