PointerDeck vs Secret Codes

PointerDeck turns your iPhone or iPad into a focused wireless trackpad for your Mac. The free PointerDeck Receiver for Mac is required, and both devices must be on the same local network. SET UP ONCE Open Add Device on the Mac and create an 8–12 digit Connection PIN. PointerDeck rejects repeated or sequential patterns; use at least five different digits. Then select that Mac on your iPhone or iPad and enter the PIN. After pairing, PointerDeck remembers the trusted connection and reconnects when both apps are open and reachable. TRACKPAD CONTROLS • Move the pointer with one finger • Scroll with two fingers • Tap or use the dedicated Left Click button • Two-finger tap or use the dedicated Right Click button • Use Drag Lock for click-and-drag TUNE THE FEEL • Adjust pointer sensitivity and scrolling speed • Choose Natural or Reversed scrolling • Turn tap-to-click on or off • Switch to a left-handed button layout DIRECT BY DESIGN PointerDeck does not stream or display your Mac screen. The release has no account, advertisements, subscription, analytics SDK, or cloud service. Controller traffic travels directly between your devices and is encrypted on the local network. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone or iPad running iOS/iPadOS 17 or later • Apple silicon or Intel Mac running macOS 14 or later • Free PointerDeck Receiver from the Mac download page • Both devices on the same local network • Accessibility permission enabled for PointerDeck Receiver on the Mac Guest, corporate, public, or client-isolated networks may prevent devices from discovering each other.

Dial *#06# for your IMEI. That's the easy one. Secret Codes has 317 more — call forwarding, voicemail, caller ID, eSIM, Field Test, carrier lock — all verified, all one tap from the dialler. Plus full diagnostics. No account. No sign-up. Nothing you do here is uploaded. 317 CODES, EVERY ONE VERIFIED Nothing here was copied off a listicle. Each entry was checked against a carrier's own support page, Apple's documentation, or the 3GPP GSM spec, and anything unverifiable was left out rather than guessed. Retired codes that still circulate online were dropped. • Carrier services — Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, UScellular and the major MVNOs • Call forwarding — the complete GSM family, plus each carrier's shortcuts • Caller ID — hide or show your number per call, CLIR and CLIP checks • Voicemail — direct dial, remote access, greetings, Live Voicemail • SIM and eSIM — IMEI, ICCID, EID, carrier lock status, eSIM transfer • Network — Field Test, call waiting, network selection, 5G and LTE • Security — spam reporting, port-out locks, PINs, Stolen Device Protection • iOS shortcuts — Emergency SOS, satellite, RTT, force restart and more • 27 troubleshooting playbooks for No Service, dropped calls and porting Tap Open in Phone and the code is handed to Apple's dialler already entered. Nothing is ever dialled for you. BUILT AROUND YOUR LINE Tell the app which network you are on, once. Every code then says plainly whether it is published for your carrier, instead of listing four networks and leaving you to guess. You can also record whether a code actually worked on your line, and keep a private note on any entry. A REAL DIAGNOSTIC SUITE Run a full device scan for a health score you can act on, or run any test alone: battery, storage, memory and thermals; Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular and an optional speed test; display, multi-touch and dead pixels; camera, microphone and speaker; accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, compass and proximity; Face ID; and a live Battery Analyzer. Every scan is saved, charted over time and summarised in plain English. Where iOS does not expose a number — cycle count, exact temperature — the app says so rather than inventing one. IT FITS INTO iOS • Spotlight — all 317 codes indexed on device; search *#06# from the Home Screen • Siri and Shortcuts — show your IMEI, run a scan, open a saved code • Quick actions — long-press the icon for IMEI, search, saved codes, scan • Full dark mode and VoiceOver support PRIVACY, PLAINLY Your favourites, notes, diagnostic results and settings are stored on your iPhone and never uploaded. Camera, microphone, location, Bluetooth and Face ID are requested only when you open the test that needs them, and none of that data leaves the device. The app is supported by ads from Google AdMob, the one part of the app that contacts a third party. NOTHING IS LOCKED • The complete code database, with nothing held back • The full diagnostic test suite and saved scan history • In-depth how-it-works notes and troubleshooting detail • Unlimited favourites • Filter any list by carrier, compatibility and code type • Export a diagnostic report as a PDF There is no paid tier, no subscription and no upgrade prompt. Ads are how the app pays for itself. HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS iOS has no hidden engineering menus. Codes such as *#*#4636#*# do nothing on an iPhone, and this app does not list them. Carrier support for any code can change without notice. Secret Codes is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc., Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, UScellular, or any other carrier.
