Mini Keyboard vs Network Scan

Your Mac has no printed keys for Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Russian or Hindi. Your iPhone does — and you already type on it all day. Mini Keyboard lets your Mac borrow it. Type on your phone and the characters appear on your Mac as you type them. Not when you press Enter. Not after a Send button. Switch scripts mid-sentence the way you already do on your phone, and whatever your iPhone keyboard can produce, your Mac receives. TYPING, IN ANY SCRIPT • Characters travel as text rather than as key codes, so scripts that need an input method — Japanese, Chinese, Korean — arrive composed and correct, as you type them. • Right-to-left scripts behave the way they do on your phone. • Command, Control, Option and Shift chords, plus Tab, Esc, Return, Delete and the arrow keys. Shortcuts land as real shortcuts, resolved through the keyboard layout your Mac is actually set to, so Command-Q is where your layout puts it rather than where a US layout would. • Emoji and dictation go across too. If your iPhone keyboard can produce it, your Mac receives it. AND A TRACKPAD, RIGHT WHERE THE KEYS ARE Pull it up over the keyboard when you need to put the caret somewhere before you can start typing. The trackpad is free, like the typing. • Tap to click, with left and right buttons always on screen for when you would rather not tap. • Two-finger scroll, and a two-finger tap for right-click. • Tap-and-a-half to drag, plus a drag-lock toggle so a long drag does not have to be one stroke. • A full-screen mode that turns the whole phone into travel. It is there so the typing works without reaching over to the Mac. There are no volume or playback keys and nothing is mirrored to the phone — this is a keyboard, not a media remote. YOUR OWN KEYS, ABOVE THE KEYBOARD (MINI KEYBOARD PRO) A row of keys you define, sitting above the keyboard on your phone. Each one sends a keystroke or a piece of text to your Mac — nothing else, because that is all a key can do. • Chords as a single tap: ⌘⇧4 for a screenshot, ⌘⌥Esc to force quit, ⌘⇥ to switch apps. • Snippets you type often — an address, a sign-off, a shell command — in any script, multi-line. • Presets for a numpad and for navigation keys, and pages, so a coding deck and a writing deck can both exist. Six keys on one page are free. Mini Keyboard Pro removes the limits — unlimited keys and pages — and adds the presets. It is a single one-time purchase ($4.99 in the US store), never a subscription. PAIRING TAKES ABOUT TEN SECONDS Open the Mac app, point your phone at the QR code in its menu-bar popover, and you are paired. The code carries a 160-bit secret, the connection is encrypted, and the pairing is bound to that one Mac, so a code scanned on your machine cannot be replayed against someone else's. If you would rather not point a camera at your own screen, the same code can be typed instead. PRIVATE BECAUSE THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE TO GO Everything stays on your local Wi-Fi. No account, no sign-up, no server, no cloud. Nothing you type is stored, logged, or sent anywhere except the Mac you paired with. No ads, no subscription, no tracking. Typing and the trackpad are free forever; the only thing for sale is Mini Keyboard Pro, once. TWO THINGS TO KNOW FIRST 1. You need the Mac half. Mini Keyboard for Mac is a separate free download on the Mac App Store. This app cannot type into a Mac without it. 2. Both devices have to be on the same Wi-Fi network. It does not work over the internet or over cellular — nothing is relayed through a server, because there is no server. The Mac app also needs one permission. macOS files "send key presses" under Privacy & Security › Accessibility, which is a confusing place to find a keyboard. The Mac app asks for that permission, explains it in plain language the first time you open it, and uses it for nothing else. It does not read your screen and it does not record what you type. Mini Keyboard first shipped in 2014. Version 2.0 is a complete rebuild.

Who's on my Wi‑Fi? What's that unknown device? Can I reach my server? Network Scan answers all of it. It finds every device on your network, and opens a real SSH terminal to any of them. Discover, diagnose, and connect, all in a clean, native app with nothing to sign up for. SCAN YOUR NETWORK • See every device on your local network with its IP address and open ports. • Group and filter devices (SSH hosts, media and smart‑home gear, newly seen devices) so the list stays readable. • Continuous monitoring keeps watch and shows when devices come online or drop off. • Identifies the maker of many smart-home devices from the built-in IEEE hardware registry — entirely on device. DIAGNOSE AND EXPLORE • Ping and TCP reachability checks, DNS lookups, port scans, and service banners. • A subnet calculator and interface details for quick network math. • Tap any device to see what it likely is, based on its services and open ports. A REAL SSH TERMINAL • Connect to your servers with a full interactive terminal. Run htop, editors, Claude Code, Codex, and other full‑screen programs. • Works with any SSH server: Raspberry Pi, NAS, routers, and home‑lab machines. • Keep multiple live sessions open at once, to the same server or different ones, and switch between them instantly. • Save hosts and store passwords or generated keys securely in the iOS Keychain, unlocked with Face ID or Touch ID. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. • Scans, saved connections, and credentials stay on your device. Network Scan is built for home labs, smart homes, and small offices, anywhere you want to understand your network and reach the machines you run. FREE • Network scanning, the grouped device list, ping and TCP reachability, DNS lookups, and recent scan history. PRO (optional) • The SSH terminal with multiple live sessions. • Custom device names, larger port scans, CSV export, and full scan history. • Try Pro free for 7 days with the yearly plan. • Prefer to pay once? Pro Lifetime is a single one‑time purchase. Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto‑renewing subscription, or as a one‑time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. A free trial converts to a paid subscription unless canceled before the trial ends.
