Precision trackpad
Move the pointer, click, right-click and scroll with smooth, low-latency gestures sized for one hand.
Your iPhone or iPad → trackpad, keyboard, app-aware Grid & remote for your Mac · Free Mac app
Run your whole Mac with one finger.
Control My Mac turns your iPhone or iPad into a precision trackpad, keyboard and app-aware Grid for your Mac. Point, click, scroll, type, run shortcuts that switch with the Mac app, launch apps and switch windows — with a single finger, from anywhere in the room.

The whole Mac, one-handed
Everything on screen is reachable through one finger on your iPhone or iPad — built that way from the start, not adapted afterwards. Hover, focus or tap a card to watch it in action.
Composer keyboard
Draft and edit a whole message on your iPhone or iPad, then insert it on the Mac in one go — no racing a live cursor.
Live keyboard
Type straight into whatever has focus on the Mac, key by key, exactly like a hardware keyboard.
Grid buttons
Put favorite Mac shortcuts on a rearrangeable grid, then assign grids to Mac apps so the right buttons appear automatically.
App launcher
Browse Mac apps and windows from your phone. Essentials can try a focus action; Full App makes it uninterrupted.
Window switching
Jump between windows and apps from your phone, so the screen you need is always one tap away.
Mac keyboard shortcuts
Fire two-handed keyboard chords as single taps — copy, paste, screenshots, app shortcuts and more.
Made for anyone
If you have an iPhone or iPad, a Mac and a reason not to be at the keyboard right now, this is for you. A few of the people it already fits:
One usable hand
Injury, RSI, a cast, a baby asleep on your arm, limited mobility — the whole Mac stays within reach of one finger.
Couch & movie nights
Scroll, search, queue the next episode and click pause on screen — without leaving the blanket.
Mac-mini home theater
The Mac under the TV finally gets a remote worthy of it. Browse, queue and play from the sofa.
Presenters & teachers
Walk the room and keep slides, demos and the pointer in your pocket.
Power users
A second input deck beside the keyboard: launcher, window switching and shortcuts on glass.
In bed
Lights off, film on, Mac across the room. Click the on-screen controls without surfacing from the duvet.
At the kitchen counter
Hands in the dough, recipe on the Mac. Scroll the next step and click to the next song without washing up first.
Standing desks & pacers
Take the call walking. The screen keeps up with you, not your chair.
Music across the room
Click play, pause, skip or the volume slider on screen from wherever the evening has moved you.
Accessibility-first computing
Designed one-finger-first, not retrofitted. Every feature reachable without a second hand on deck.
Paired in under a minute
No sign-up, no cables, no IP addresses, no firewall spelunking. Scan a code and go.
Install the free Mac app
Download Control My Mac for Mac — a lightweight menu-bar companion. Open it and it shows a QR code.
Get the app
Install Control My Mac on your iPhone or iPad from the App Store. Keep both devices on the same Wi-Fi, or use Bluetooth.
Scan the QR code
Point your iPhone or iPad at the code on your Mac. The devices pair directly — encrypted, device-to-device — and you're in control.
Yours, not ours
A pointing device should not have a business model between you and your Mac.
No account, no servers
Nothing to sign up for. Your iPhone or iPad talks directly to your Mac over your local network or Bluetooth, encrypted.
No ads, ever
Not in the free tier, not anywhere. A remote control is not a billboard.
Camera = QR only
The camera is used for exactly one thing: scanning the pairing code on your Mac. Nothing is stored or sent.
Clear pricing, on the page
