Deck Buddy: Remote Deck
A deck for every workflow
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn your iPhone or iPad into a smart deck for Mac. Profiles switch automatically with the active app, so the right buttons are always ready
Deck Buddy turns your iPhone or iPad into an intelligent control deck for your Mac.
It’s more than a “shortcut remote” - it’s a full system for fast, context-aware control that adapts to whatever you’re doing.
≋≋ Always the right buttons ≋≋
DeckBuddy can switch layouts automatically based on the app currently active on your Mac. Use one deck for Xcode, another for Safari, another for your creative tools - and let DeckBuddy keep up as you switch.
≋≋ Two ways to work ≋≋
• Auto Mode: DeckBuddy follows the active Mac app and loads the matching deck.
• Manual Mode: lock a specific deck whenever you want consistent controls.
≋≋ Built for real workflows ≋≋
• Trigger keyboard shortcuts remotely from your iPhone
• Run advanced actions with AppleScript on macOS
• Pair fast with a 6-digit code and remember trusted devices
• Discover your Mac automatically via Bonjour (no IP typing)
• Capture a shortcut from your Mac keyboard and assign it to a button
• Create decks with multiple pages, custom rows/columns, and iPad layouts
• Personalise button styles: colours, borders, system icons, and your own SVG/PNG
• Start quickly with ready-made presets for popular use cases
• Import/export backups of your profiles and actions
≋≋ Mac setup that’s actually clear ≋≋
Deck Buddy includes a guided macOS onboarding screen with setup steps, Accessibility permissions, and an option to launch at login.
If you love speed, shortcuts, streaming, or creative work - DeckBuddy is a great one to try
