PocketPad for iPhone and Mac
Point. Click. Present.
Right from your pocket.
PocketPad turns your iPhone into a trackpad, presentation remote and media controller for your Mac. It feels like the trackpad you already know, because it's built to.
Trackpad
Every gesture
you reach for.
Pointer acceleration, momentum scrolling and sub-pixel tracking are tuned to feel like a Mac trackpad, not a remote. Your fingers already know how to use it.
Point
One finger moves the cursor, with the acceleration curve macOS uses.
Tap to click
Tap to click, two fingers for a secondary click, tap and hold to drag.
Scroll
Two fingers, natural direction, with momentum that coasts to a stop.
Swipe
Three fingers for Mission Control, App Exposé and switching Spaces.
Presenter
The remote
you'll never forget.
Keynote, PowerPoint and Google Slides, with your notes in your hand and a laser pointer on the screen.
- Speaker notesRead straight from Keynote and PowerPoint, updated as you advance.
- Laser pointer, red or greenDrag on your iPhone and a dot follows on the Mac. The cursor gets out of the way.
- A timer that keeps you honestTap to start or pause, hold to reset.
And more
More than
a trackpad.
Everything you'd get up from the couch for, right under your thumb.
Now Playing, whatever's playing.
Artwork, track and transport for Music and Spotify, and play, pause and skip for everything else. Swipe across for volume.
Screen preview.
See your Mac's screen from across the room, or a magnified window round the cursor.
A keyboard, too.
Type into any app on your Mac with the iPhone keyboard you already know.
Your apps, one tap away.
Pin the Mac apps you use most to a dock on your iPhone and launch them from the couch.
System Control.
Volume, sleep, lock and restart, plus the Bluetooth accessories paired with your Mac. Connect your headphones without walking over.
Connection
Finds your Mac.
However it can.
PocketPad picks the fastest path on its own, and switches when the fastest one goes away.
Wi-Fi
Your Mac shows up on its own over Bonjour. No IP addresses, no setup.
USB
Plug in for the lowest latency there is, and no network at all.
Bluetooth
No Wi-Fi and no cable? It still works, straight between the two devices.
Nothing leaves
your devices.
PocketPad talks only to your Mac. There's no account to make, no cloud in the middle and nothing to track. Every session is paired with a one-time code and encrypted end to end.
PocketPad.
The trackpad in your pocket. Coming soon for iPhone and Mac.
Requires iOS 26 and a Mac running PocketPad for macOS.
