Iphone App Touchpad For Mac

Touchpad for iPhone is an unofficial application for the iPhone (or iPod Touch) that allows you to use them as a wireless touchpad.

You can control the mouse on your PC using just your iPhone. You can move the mouse around, click, double-click, and even drag (double click but keep it pressed and then move around). Vertical scrolling is even possible, by click-and-dragging on the right edge of the iPhone screen.

You can use it to control videos, show pictures, advance slides in a presentations -- whatever a regular touchpad can do.

Mar 24, 2020 In iPadOS 13.4, your devices gain the ability to use mice and external trackpads.This pointer device support gets closer than ever to turning your iPad into a full laptop replacement. It feels like Apple has turned pointing devices into first-class citizens on the iPad.

Installation instructions:

1. Start Installer.app, and go to Sources. Click 'Edit', and then Add this repository: http://cnp.qlnk.net/
2. After the refresh, install Touchpad from the Utilities category.
3. Install VNC on the machine you want to control. I recommend TightVNC for Windows and Linux and Chicken of the VNC for Mac.

At the moment, you need to have a hacked/jailbroken iPhone to use it.
