Turn your Mac into a universal Bluetooth keyboard, mouse and media remote control. One keyboard to rule them all.

super cute!

This programme is just marvelous. Control of the iphone pointer via the Mac's trackad is a bit slow in response, so this requires getting used to, but it gets the work done. It makes it possible to use the iPhone as webcam and have control over zoom and lighting when you use for NDI's free webcam programme. Admirable.

I used this app on my MI Pad 5 and it works flawlessly between MAC and PAD 5 - to support the developer and seeing his efforts, I have purchased the pro version as well.
