Features

Everything you do on your Mac, from anywhere.

The file you left on your Mac, the app that only runs there, a quick look at what's going on while you're on the couch.

Your Macs

One tap and you're on your Mac.

Your paired Macs live in one list that shows which ones are available. At home, your iPhone finds your Mac by itself. Away from home, with Tailscale, the same pairing keeps working.

  • Favorites and recents
  • Shows who's available
  • Wakes your Mac over the network

Touch or trackpad

However your hand likes it.

Tap where you want to click, scroll with two fingers and pinch to zoom. Prefer a trackpad? Switch with one tap and use the Mac's three- and four-finger gestures for Spaces, Mission Control and apps.

  • Direct touch or trackpad
  • Mac gestures
  • Haptics on tap

Keyboard

Type like you're on your Mac.

The ⌘, ⌥ and ⌃ keys sit in a bar above the keyboard, for ⌘C, ⌘V, ⌘Tab and whatever else you use. You can dictate, and on iPad a hardware keyboard and mouse work just like on the Mac.

  • Mac shortcuts
  • Dictation
  • Hardware keyboard and mouse on iPad

QR pairing

Secure from the very first tap.

Your Mac shows a QR code, your iPhone scans it, done. The key lives in the Secure Enclave, your Mac only accepts the devices you approved and, if you lose your iPhone, you revoke it on your Mac and it's cut off at once.

  • Key in the Secure Enclave
  • Approved devices only
  • Instant revocation

Every day

From the couch, the café, wherever you are.

Your Mac stays on the desk. You only take your iPhone or iPad.
