Trackpad

A familiar surface for your Mac.

Move, click, right-click, scroll and drag. Landscape is supported.

04

Remote control

The controls you need, together.

Direction, play/pause and volume in a remote-style layout.

Air mouse

A little movement goes a long way.

Move the pointer with your iPhone’s gyroscope. Left/right clicks, scrolling and adjustable sensitivity.

A few things to know.

Pair, then connect.

No account needed. Enter the random six-digit code from Mac on your iPhone or iPad, then approve on Mac. Keep the code private. A Mac supports up to three mobile devices; each mobile device retains one Mac.

Make it work your way.

Choose a Mac app to prioritize text and keys, or choose “None” to follow the active app. First use requires Mac Accessibility permission. Chinese and English follow your system language.

Connection & privacy.

Local-network connection is supported. Communication is encrypted; pairing credentials are stored in Apple Keychain. See the app privacy notice for verified facts and outstanding review.

Still in testing.

Core connection and control are implemented. Remote connection through internet relay, simultaneous control by three real devices, and input compatibility across Mac apps are still being validated.
