Short description
RPad turns your iPhone or iPad into a wireless trackpad, keyboard and presentation remote for your Mac, with an Apple Watch remote and Apple Pencil drawing, all paired with a code and encrypted end to end.
Long description
Most phone-as-mouse apps give you a small touch pad and a pointer that lags. RPad makes the whole screen a trackpad and brings over what makes a Mac trackpad feel right: pointer acceleration that is precise when you move slowly and crosses the display in one swipe, momentum scrolling, tap-and-drag, and three-finger gestures for Mission Control and Spaces.
RPad also works as a presentation remote. Present mode on iPhone and iPad changes slides in Keynote, PowerPoint and Google Slides, points at the screen and keeps a timer, and the Apple Watch app changes slides from your wrist, including with double tap. On iPad, Apple Pencil becomes a drawing tablet for the Mac with pressure and tilt. Every gesture and watch control can be remapped on the Mac.
Privacy is built in. Devices pair once with a one-time code shown on the Mac, verified with the CPace password-authenticated key exchange, and every connection is end-to-end encrypted on the local network. RPad has no account and collects no data. When devices can't share a Wi‑Fi network, they can connect directly over peer-to-peer Wi‑Fi, and Macs that block incoming connections connect out to the iPhone instead.
