Accessibility
Control My Mac was designed around one-handed and limited-mobility use. This page says plainly what the iPhone and iPad app supports today, and what we have not finished testing, so you can decide before you try it.
Moving the pointer, clicking, right-clicking, scrolling, typing, launching apps and switching windows are each a single-finger gesture or a single tap. No step needs a second hand, including setup, which is scanning a QR code with the phone.
Shortcuts that need several keys held at once can sit on one Grid button. Modifier keys latch with a tap, and Mouse Hold keeps the button down for you during a long drag.
The app supports Dynamic Type, including the largest accessibility text sizes.
A dark appearance with warm, low-glare colors, and the app respects the iOS Reduce Motion setting.
Help Mode makes each button explain what it does instead of doing it. The Draft keyboard lets you write a message on the phone, with its own autocorrect and dictation, and insert it on the Mac in one go.
No account and no servers. Your iPhone or iPad talks only to your own Mac, encrypted, over the local network or Bluetooth.
We have not finished testing the app with VoiceOver, Voice Control or Switch Control, so we do not claim support for them yet. We do not claim captions or audio descriptions either; the app has no spoken content. We will update this page, and the accessibility information on the App Store, only after each one has been tested.
If touching a screen with one finger is not comfortable for you, the built-in macOS tools may suit you better, and they combine well with this app. See the one-handed guide for what Sticky Keys, the Accessibility Keyboard, pointer control and Voice Control on the Mac can do.
A button that is hard to hit, text that does not scale, a step that needs more than one finger: we want to know and we read every message.
