TouchDeck for Mac

The free companion that receives your presses and runs them on your Mac. It sits in the menu bar, pairs with your iPhone and iPad over Wi-Fi, and shows what each device is doing.

Download on the Mac App Store iPhone and iPad app

Requires macOS 26 or later. Free, with no in-app purchases.

Finds your devices on your Wi-Fi
Nothing goes through a server. Only devices you approve can connect.
Pairs with a four-digit code
Approve the code on your Mac, or scan its QR code from your iPhone or iPad.
Presses keys, opens apps, runs Shortcuts
Exactly what you set up on your deck, nothing else.
Reads your apps' menus
So any app's shortcuts can become keys in a tap.

Permissions, explained

macOS asks you before an app can do certain things. TouchDeck for Mac asks only for what it needs:

Accessibility: needed to press keyboard shortcuts and media keys for you, and to read an app's menus when you add its shortcuts. Turn it on in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Accessibility.

Local network: lets your iPhone and iPad find this Mac and send it presses on your Wi-Fi. TouchDeck never connects to devices outside your network.

The Mac app keeps a short history of recent commands on your Mac for troubleshooting. It never leaves your Mac unless you export it yourself.

Requirements

  • macOS 26 or later.
  • An iPhone or iPad on iOS or iPadOS 26 or later with TouchDeck.
  • Both on the same Wi-Fi network.
