Co/Pad

Co/Pad turns your iPad into a physical control surface for your Mac — like a Stream Deck, built for people who live in the keyboard. Tap a key on the iPad and it types straight into whatever you're driving on the Mac: a Claude Code or Codex session, Chrome, Mail, Apple Music, Lightroom, or any app. No mouse, no reaching for the Mac keyboard. WHAT YOU GET • Programmable macro grid — slash-commands, keyboard shortcuts (⌘T, ⌘W, ⌘L…), and text, all one tap away. • Per-app profiles — the grid changes with the app you're pointing at: Claude Code commands for a terminal, browser actions for Chrome, playback for Music, culling keys for Lightroom. • Multi-session targeting — drive several terminals / windows and switch between them from a row of chips. • A tactile dial — scroll history, scrub between emails or photos, or adjust volume; a second mode cycles targets. • Voice — dictate straight into your session on-device; long-press to have replies read back. • Apple Pencil Pro — squeeze to talk, double-tap to switch modes, hover to highlight. • Feels physical — haptics, sound and a clean instrument design. HOW IT WORKS Co/Pad talks to a small free companion, Co/Pad Server, running on your Mac. Put both devices on the same Wi-Fi, tap your Mac in the list (zero-config discovery), and start tapping. Everything stays on your local network. REQUIREMENTS • A Mac (macOS 13+) running the free, open-source Co/Pad Server. • Both devices on the same Wi-Fi.
