Keypads

Find, create, organize, export, and import control keypads for Mac and Windows.

Download on the App Store

Open a computer and choose KeyPads. Keypads collect media controls, keyboard shortcuts, and other actions into buttons you can use from your iPhone or iPad.

Built-in Keypads

Use the included volume, playback, and navigation controls. The available layouts depend on the device: Mac, Windows, and iPad have different supported keys and system functions.

Find More Keypads

  2. Search, filter, or sort the catalog to find the app or website you want to control.
  3. Preview a keypad, add it, and return to your remote.

You can customize downloaded keypads. Some keypads or actions require premium access; the app shows the applicable unlock flow.

Create a Keypad

Choose Create from the keypad menu to build a new control panel. To change an existing keypad, choose Edit to open the keypad list, then Edit in that keypad’s menu. The editor supports buttons, keyboard sequences, layout changes, icons, and colors. See Creating and editing keypads.

Organize Your Keypads

Choose Edit in the keypad menu to open the list. Each keypad’s menu offers Edit, Duplicate, Export when available, and Delete. Choose Reorder in the list menu to change their order, then tap Done.
