Control My Mac puts your Mac's shortcuts on your iPhone or iPad: a Grid of big one-tap buttons for every Mac app, which switches in by itself when that app comes forward. It is also a wireless trackpad, keyboard and app Launcher you can use with one finger from anywhere in the room. Install the free Mac companion app from controlmymac.com, scan its QR code, and you are connected. No account, no sign-up. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Grid: your own shortcut buttons, with a separate grid for each Mac app. Teach it a key combination straight from your Mac • Trackpad: move, click, right-click and scroll with one finger • Keyboard: type live, or write a draft and insert it in one go • Launcher: your Mac's open apps as a grid. Bring any app or window forward, or open a saved set • Mac keyboard shortcuts, gestures, presets and quick controls • iPad: a larger trackpad, roomier keyboard, bigger Grid and a layout you can rearrange • Light, Dark and any accent color, plus Help Mode, where every button explains itself Scrolling, the full Grid, the Launcher, Mac shortcuts, gestures and presets are part of Full App (details below). MADE FOR ONE HAND Every control sits within reach of a single finger, whether you use one hand by choice or by necessity. Run a Mac connected to your TV from the sofa, use it as a presentation clicker, or keep it next to you at the desk. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No servers. Your iPhone or iPad connects straight to your Mac over Bluetooth or your local network, encrypted device-to-device, and nothing you type or do leaves your two devices. The Mac app needs macOS Accessibility permission so it can move your cursor and type for you. The camera only scans the pairing code, and Local Network is only used to find your Mac.
