UniPad is a Universal Mousepad for the Mac. Please install the companion app (also called UniPad) on the Mac. Use your iPhone/iPad as a mousepad or trackpad for your Mac. This is a simple utility that uses bluetooth only. There is no need for WIFI so this app (like all my other apps) is privacy oriented. Primary features: 1. Use your iPhone/iPad as a Mouse/Trackpad for your Mac 2. Uses only bluetooth, does not need WIFI 3. Supports Mouse dragging with Multi-touch 4. Supports two finger scroll This app requires the Accessibility permission to send mouse input to the Mac. One more reason why all my apps use only bluetooth. I am paranoid about privacy/security and don't think an app like this should have connectivity to WIFI/Internet. Let me know what you are looking for from this app. Support for many more devices is coming.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: UniPad at Free against Remote, Mouse & Keyboard Pro's $39.99. UniPad also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Remote, Mouse & Keyboard Pro's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Remote, Mouse & Keyboard Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote, Mouse & Keyboard Pro has 5.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Remote, Mouse & Keyboard Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of UniPad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Remote, Mouse & Keyboard Pro ships an update every 5 days, UniPad every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
