For macOS · Free · No App Store

Your old iPhone, reborn as a control deck for your Mac.

Prop a spare iPhone next to your Mac and it becomes a launcher, remote, and macro deck — open apps, run Apple Shortcuts, control playback, and type, all with a tap. Free, private, and a great reason not to bin your old phone.
