Connecting is now one step: tap the Home Screen widget, or just ask Siri. Control layouts switch automatically with whatever app is in front on your Mac.
Stream your Mac to your iPhone or iPad and control it with touch — play Mac games, work remotely, or fix a family member's computer.
A FULL MACBOOK KEYBOARD
Esc, F1–F12, arrow keys, ⌘⌥⌃⇧ combinations and caps lock. The iOS keyboard can't send a single one of these, and they're exactly what you need when driving a Mac. Modifiers are sticky, so combos work one-handed.
THREE CONTROL MODES
• Game mode: fully customizable virtual gamepad + physical controller support
• Trackpad mode: the whole screen becomes a precise trackpad, with a cursor loupe
• Direct touch: tap exactly where you want, zero learning curve
BUILT FOR PLAY
• Peer-to-peer direct connection; median network round-trip time (RTT) about 8 ms on 5 GHz Wi-Fi
• 1080p 60fps streaming, HEVC encoding, adaptive jitter buffer
• Auto-reconnect, keys never get stuck, controllers switch in automatically
MORE
• An illustrated guide on first launch, reopenable any time from Settings
• Single-app window streaming: put just one Mac window on your phone while the Mac screen carries on
• Use your iPhone or iPad as a second display for your Mac — and touch it
• Picture in Picture + Live Activity on the Lock Screen
• Clipboard sync, audio streaming, Wake-on-LAN, multi-display switching
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• End-to-end encrypted: peer-to-peer when possible, relayed only when a direct connection is impossible — and the relay cannot see your screen
• QR / PIN encrypted pairing, end-to-end encryption, allowlist-only connections
• While being controlled, the Mac shows a persistent red banner and keeps a full connection history
• No account, no tracking, no cloud recording
PRICING
Everything is free forever on your local network (same Wi-Fi). The only paid item is the Remote Access subscription (monthly or yearly), needed only when you're away and want to reach your Mac. Features that are free today will never move behind the paywall.
GETTING STARTED
The Mac you want to control needs the free TouchNow Host (macOS 13 or later), from touchmac.app — it is not on the Mac App Store. Install it, scan the QR code once, and you're paired.

Ratings & Reviews
This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Fixed the cursor sometimes freezing after a brief network drop. “Enter Pairing Code” now works instead of only showing the camera. Swipes in Direct touch now follow your Pointer settings to move the cursor or drag objects.
