Open Remio TouchPad Host on your Mac — it lives quietly in the menu bar and shows a 6-digit code. Type it once on your phone, then tap Allow on the Mac. That's the entire setup.

Type the code into Remio TouchPad on your iPhone or Android phone. No email, no password, no sign-up.
03
Glide
Tap Allow once on the Mac. Your phone is now a trackpad — move, click, scroll, and type.
✦Gestures
Every gesture, carried through.
Move the cursor, tap to click, two-finger right-click, scroll with momentum, drag, and pinch to zoom — it feels like the trackpad built into your Mac. Need a keystroke? The on-screen keyboard forwards it too.
The phone screen stays blank on purpose — it's just a touch surface. All the action happens on your Mac.
Built to disappear into the background.
No account, no cloud, no clutter — just your phone, your Mac, and a direct connection between them.
Works without internet
Your phone and Mac connect directly over Wi-Fi. No cloud round-trip, no outage waiting on someone else's server.
No account needed
Pair with a 6-digit code — no email, no password, no sign-up screen standing between you and your cursor.
Private by design
Every gesture and keystroke is encrypted device-to-device. Remio TouchPad Host never records or transmits your screen.
Natural gestures
Move, tap, two-finger right-click, momentum scroll, drag, and pinch — it feels exactly like your Mac's own trackpad.
Type from your phone
Need a keystroke? The on-screen keyboard forwards every character straight to your Mac.
Reconnects instantly
Trust a phone once and it skips the code next time — one tap and you're back in control.
✦Security
Nothing to see, nothing to leak.
Every connection starts with a 6-digit code you type once, and a prompt you approve by hand on the Mac — nothing pairs silently. Input is encrypted directly between your two devices.
Remio TouchPad Host only ever asks for Accessibility access to move the cursor and type. Screen Recording is never requested, because it has no need to see your screen.
✦Questions
Before you ask.
Everything about Wi-Fi, permissions, and what happens when you're offline.
Do I need an internet connection?
No. Remio TouchPad connects directly over your own Wi-Fi network — your phone and Mac talk to each other, not through a cloud server. It keeps working even when your internet is down.
Which devices does it work with?
Remio TouchPad Host runs on Mac. Remio TouchPad itself runs on iPhone and Android phones, turning them into a wireless trackpad and keyboard for that Mac.
Why does my phone ask for Local Network permission?
Remio TouchPad finds your Mac by looking for it on your Wi-Fi network. iOS and Android require this one-time permission before any app can talk to other devices nearby — without it, your phone can't discover your Mac at all.
Why does the Mac ask for Accessibility access?
Moving your cursor, clicking, and typing on your behalf requires Accessibility permission — that's how macOS lets any app control the pointer and keyboard. Remio TouchPad Host never requests Screen Recording, because it never needs to see your screen.
Will it work on office or school Wi-Fi?
Sometimes not. Many corporate and school networks isolate devices from each other for security, which blocks the direct connection Remio TouchPad needs. If pairing fails, try a personal hotspot or your home Wi-Fi instead.
When can I download it?
