Remote Magic Trackpad for Mac

Turn your Android phone or tablet into a Mac trackpad, keyboard and mouse. Remote Magic Trackpad connects to your Mac over Bluetooth and gives you a wireless touchpad with full macOS gestures: Mission Control, App Exposé and Spaces.

Use it at your desk as a remote trackpad for Mac, or from across the room as a Mac remote. It is an input device, not screen sharing: you keep watching your Mac's own display.

Phone as trackpad for Mac: what you need
• A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later); Intel Macs are not compatible
• The free macOS companion app from themythicalengineer.com
• A phone or tablet on Android 7.0 or later
Open both apps and connect over Bluetooth.

What you get
• No extra hardware: a Bluetooth trackpad that links straight to your Mac
• Phone as trackpad for Mac: switch apps, desktops and windows with a swipe
• Phone as mouse for Mac: point, click, right-click, scroll and drag
• Type with Command, Option and the shortcuts you know on a Bluetooth keyboard for Mac
• Mac remote control from your seat: volume, brightness and playback on the function row
• Point and type on one screen: Combined Mode puts the trackpad above Gboard swipe typing

Mac trackpad gestures
• One finger moves the cursor; tap to click, two-finger tap to right-click
• Two-finger scroll, vertical and horizontal
• Pinch to zoom, two-finger rotate and smart zoom with a two-finger double-tap
• Two-finger swipe left or right to go back and forward
• Three-finger drag to move windows and select text
• Four fingers: swipe up for Mission Control, down for App Exposé, left or right to switch Spaces
• Four-finger pinch for Launchpad, spread for Show Desktop

Bluetooth keyboard for Mac: all 78 keys
• Command (⌘), Option (⌥), Control (⌃), Shift and Fn for shortcuts like Cmd+C, Cmd+V and Cmd+Tab
• Function row for brightness, volume and playback, plus F1–F12 via Fn
• Key repeat for letters, arrows and delete
• Four mechanical keyboard sound profiles and haptic feedback as you type

Settings

Who it's for
• Developers and designers: a portable remote trackpad for Mac beside the keyboard
• Mouse battery dead: phone as mouse for Mac until it's charged
• Movie nights: control Mac from couch or bed, with play, pause and volume at hand
• Living room: a Mac mini remote for the TV, keyboard included
• Travelers who'd rather not pack a Bluetooth mouse for Mac: the wireless touchpad is already in your pocket

Why it's different
Built for macOS on Apple silicon, this remote trackpad for Mac gives you the gestures you know from a Mac trackpad. Add the Command and Option keys and a function row, and you get a Mac remote control that works the way your Mac does.
