About KeyPad

KeyPad is a Mac app that turns a Mac into a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse and media remote for other devices. Devices named by the developer include iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets, Apple TVs, Samsung and Sony smart TVs, Raspberry Pis, and other PCs and Macs. It maintains connections with multiple devices and supports multiple keyboard layouts so characters are entered correctly for different languages and layouts.

Setup uses an in-app Bluetooth dialog: the user pairs a device, adds it to the KeyPad device list, then types or navigates. Keyboard and mouse emulation are included, with cursor control for iPads and basic mouse functions on iPhones via Assistive Touch; Control plus Option is used for mouse control, and hotkeys such as Command plus Option plus P toggle the KeyPad interface. The App Store listing describes the app as free with in-app purchases and notes it has not received enough ratings to display an overview.
