iPad preview
A touch surface that fits your workspace.
The interface follows the device’s light or dark appearance. These are iPad Simulator captures; physical gesture and connector testing is still in progress.
Alpha notes
Check your connection before a session.
The app offers pointer movement, configurable taps and gestures, scrolling, and basic frontmost-app studio shortcuts. Shortcut behavior depends on the Mac app you are controlling. Use a trusted local network: Wi-Fi and USB network traffic is not encrypted in this alpha.
USB network requires a supported iOS or iPadOS network interface, such as USB-C Ethernet or USB Personal Hotspot where available. A plain USB-C cable from a Wi-Fi-only iPad to a Mac is not supported. Bluetooth uses an app-specific Low Energy connection.
