One-liner
A lightweight app that turns your iPhone or iPad into a wireless trackpad for your Mac, with low latency and minimal setup.
Strengths
- Extremely responsive tracking with low input lag ("feels like a real trackpad" - review)
- Simple one-tap connection via local network ("connected in seconds, no pairing needed")
- Supports multi-touch gestures (pinch, swipe, scroll) reliably
- Minimal battery drain on iOS device ("used all day without charging")
- Clean, distraction-free interface focused solely on trackpad functionality
Weaknesses
- No support for Windows PCs ("only works with Macs, which limits my use case")
- Limited customization options ("can't adjust sensitivity or button mapping")
- No built-in keyboard input ("would be great to have a virtual keyboard too")
- Only works on same Wi-Fi network ("no Bluetooth option for better range")
- App crashes occasionally after extended use ("after 2 hours, it freezes and needs restart")
Opportunities
- Build a cross-platform version supporting Windows and Linux via local network
- Add gesture customization and touch zone sensitivity controls
- Integrate a compact virtual keyboard with emoji and clipboard support
- Offer a Bluetooth-only mode for lower latency and better range
- Create a companion app for remote mouse control from a tablet during presentations
