About PocketCtrl
Your Mac, wherever you need it.
PocketCtrl turns your iPhone or iPad into a remote screen, trackpad, and keyboard for your Mac. Connect on the same local network, or use your own Tailscale network to reach your Mac between networks.
CONTROL THAT FEELS FAMILIAR
• Move the pointer, click, scroll, and zoom with touch gestures.
• Type with the on-screen keyboard and use convenient Mac shortcuts.
• Use optional on-device voice typing when supported by your device and language.
• Use an external keyboard or trackpad on iPad.
YOUR MAC, YOUR SETUP
• Choose which Mac display to view.
• Switch between saved Macs.
• Adjust stream quality to suit your connection.
• Enable Mac audio and text clipboard sharing for approved devices.
PAIR WITH CONFIDENCE
• Pair with a QR code, computer code, or pairing link.
• Approve new devices on the host Mac and choose their access permissions.
• Stream and control data is encrypted and authenticated between paired devices.
• No PocketCtrl account is required.
REQUIREMENTS
PocketCtrl requires the separate PocketCtrl Mac companion on a Mac running macOS 15.6 or later. Download it and follow the setup guide at https://www.pocketctrl.com/download. The Mac must be powered on, awake, running PocketCtrl, and reachable over the network.
Allow Screen Recording on your Mac to share its display, Accessibility for remote control, and Local Network access for nearby connections. Tailscale is a separate, optional service for connections between networks and requires its own setup.
PocketCtrl is open source. Learn more at https://www.pocketctrl.com.
