Description

Sidekey turns your iPhone into a wireless keyboard, trackpad and shortcut pad for your own computer. Tap keys on your phone and they type on your Mac or Windows PC over your local Wi‑Fi — no extra hardware, no cables. NEW IN 1.1 • Made for iPhone Duo — unfold for a big keyboard on one side of the fold and a trackpad on the other, and swap them with one tap. Every mode gets its own big-screen layout. • Laptop keyboard mode — a full computer keyboard on the inner screen that matches the connected computer, Mac or Windows. • Landscape on any iPhone — keys, trackpad and sidebar rearrange themselves. FEATURES • Voice typing — dictate on your phone and send the text straight to your computer • Custom key designer — make your own keys, shortcuts and layouts • Shortcuts & combos — Cmd/Ctrl/Alt/Shift, function keys, media keys, and left/right-specific modifiers • Trackpad — use your phone as a touchpad with left and right buttons • Multiple computers — pair several and switch between them in one tap • Modes for every job — a shortcut deck, a trackpad, a full keyboard, and Codex Micro for Claude Code and Codex • Quick pairing — scan a QR code once; it reconnects automatically • Private by design — no account, no tracking, nothing sent to the developer HOW IT WORKS Sidekey works together with a small, free desktop helper you run on the computer you want to control. Put both devices on the same Wi‑Fi, scan a QR code once to pair, and you're connected. Pairing is secured with a token, and your keystrokes travel directly to your own computer — never through us. REQUIRES THE FREE DESKTOP HELPER Sidekey needs the free Sidekey helper running on your Mac or Windows computer. Download it from the link on our support page. Questions or ideas? We'd love to hear from you.

Every mode gets its own big-screen layout you can edit separately, and a half-written voice draft is still there when you fold back to the cover screen. • Laptop keyboard mode: a full computer keyboard on the inner screen that switches between Mac and Windows layouts to match the connected computer. Tap ⌘, ⌥ or ⇧ to hold it for the next key. • Landscape mode: turn your phone sideways and the keys, trackpad and sidebar rearrange themselves. Pages with lots of keys split into sub-pages you can switch with a tap. • Codex Micro mode: permissions, reasoning effort and your go-to commands on one screen, plus your running Claude Code and Codex sessions — tap one to jump to its app. • New "Apple" theme in Silver and Midnight, and the computer avatar now shows the connection status. • More reliable: if a change can't be saved, Sidekey tells you and keeps it so you can retry. Rotating, folding or leaving the app releases any held keys, so nothing gets stuck. Please also update the desktop helper to 1.1.0.
