Swipad

Swipad turns your iPhone into a wireless trackpad for your Mac. Lose the mouse on your desk and use your iPhone as the input device instead.

【Highlights】

■ Ultra-low latency Custom protocol sends cursor input to your Mac instantly. Faster than typical Bluetooth trackpads — works comfortably even for games and design work.

■ End-to-end encrypted All traffic is encrypted with the Noise Protocol (ChaCha20-Poly1305, the same algorithm WireGuard uses). No accounts, no external servers, no telemetry.

■ MITM-resistant pairing On first pairing, iPhone shows a 6-digit code that you type into the Mac. This prevents anyone else on your network from impersonating either device.

■ Taptic Engine haptics Clicks feel like a real Mac trackpad — Taptic Engine reproduces the satisfying mechanical click sensation.

■ Native gestures One finger to move the cursor, two-finger scroll, tap to click. Uses gestures macOS already understands.

【Requirements】

• iPhone: iOS 16.0 or later
• Mac (receiver): macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later
• Both devices on the same Wi-Fi (or connect Mac to iPhone's Personal Hotspot)

【Setup】

1. Install this app on your iPhone
2. Download the free Mac receiver app from swipad.app
3. Launch the Mac receiver and grant macOS Accessibility permission
4. Select your Mac in this app, then type the 6-digit code shown on your iPhone into the Mac
5. Your iPhone is now a trackpad
