Macropad Studio

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a custom macro pad for Mac. Design boards with buttons, knobs & faders to launch apps, run shortcuts and control media in one tap.

Your Mac's custom control deck.

Macropad turns your iPhone into a tactile, fully customizable control panel for your Mac. Place keys, knobs, faders and jog wheels on a grid, give each one a job, and run your most repetitive tasks with a single touch. No extra hardware on your desk — the deck is already in your pocket.

BUILD. ASSIGN. CONNECT.

• Build — Drag components from the Store onto the grid, or start from a ready-made pack.
• Assign — Give every key or knob a task: a keyboard shortcut like ⌘B, media control, window management or a multi-step macro.
• Connect — Scan the QR code shown by Macropad Studio on your Mac. Your iPhone is now its control panel.

FEELS LIKE REAL HARDWARE Knurled knobs, metal and wood surfaces, screw heads, glowing LEDs and satisfying haptic feedback. Every press and every detent is designed to feel mechanical and precise, while the interface stays clean and out of the way.

NEARLY 20 COMPONENT TYPES Keys, knobs, faders, jog wheels, joysticks, trackballs, D-pads, touchpads, touch strips, toggle and rocker switches, LEDs, displays and more.

READY-MADE PACKS Get started in seconds with packs for Media, Windows, System, Xcode and Zoom — then tweak them to fit the way you work.

MAKE IT YOURS

• Themes: Studio, Carbon, Arctic, Neon, Cockpit, Walnut and more
• Frames: enclosures with screws, patterns and materials that make your board look like a real device
• Detailed editor: color, icon, material, lighting, size, behavior and actions for every component

BUILT FOR Developers, designers, video and audio editors, streamers, and anyone who spends their day in meetings. If you repeat it on your Mac, Macropad can put it on one key.

UNLIMITED BOARDS, SYNCED Create as many boards as you need for different apps and workflows, and keep them in sync across your devices with iCloud.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Your iPhone and Mac talk directly over your local network, and your boards stay in your own iCloud.
