Turn your iPad or iPhone into an app-aware Mac control deck

iMacroPad turns the iPad or iPhone you already own into a control deck for your Mac: keys, knobs, faders, a trackpad, a trackball and a Pencil area, with haptics. Bring an app to the front and its layout appears: 81 ready layouts for Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, OBS, Logic, Excel, Claude Code and more. The pad shows live state (OBS recording, Teams mic, volume) and runs macros and AI-agent approvals over your own Wi-Fi. For creators, streamers and developers. Free; Pro removes ads.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Erkan, the maker of iMacroPad.
I kept looking at hardware macro decks and they all had the same limits: one fixed grid, one key size, and no idea which app is in front of me. My iPad was already on the desk, so I turned it into the deck instead.
What it does best:
It follows the Mac. Bring Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, OBS, Logic, Excel or Claude Code to the front and the pad switches to that app's layout. There are 81 ready layouts, each checked against the app's own menus.
It's not just buttons. Knobs, faders, a trackpad, a trackball, a jog wheel and a Pencil area, all with haptics, any size, anywhere on the grid. You edit everything by drag and drop.
It shows real state. OBS recording, Teams mic, Photoshop colour and the Mac's volume come back to the pad. With Claude Code running, you can approve, deny or send the next task from the pad.
Who it's for: video editors, designers, streamers, music producers and developers who want a control deck without buying another box.
How it's different: no extra hardware, no cables, no fixed layout. Everything stays on your own Wi-Fi; your keys and layouts never leave your network. It works on any keyboard layout and also runs on iPhone.
Pricing: every feature is free. After a few weeks the free version shows a small ad beside the pad; Pro removes it for good on two devices, one purchase, no subscription.
I'd like your feedback on one thing: which Mac app should get a layout next, and what would you put on it?
