App Description

This app allows you to create custom keypads or keyboards that you can use to control your computer over the network from your iOS device. You start by creating a keypad layout, which includes buttons and other controls that you can easily arrange and customize. Then for each control, you define which actions to send to your computer when the control is touched. Actions can be keystrokes, such as keyboard shortcut commands, or mouse clicks such as the left, right or middle mouse buttons. Once you are connected to your computer, simply touch the controls on your keypad to control your computer from your iOS device!

A SIMPLE EXAMPLE
For example, the keyboard shortcuts for copy, cut, and paste, are common to most programs. So using this app, you can create a simple keypad layout with three buttons, assigning each button to one of these keyboard shortcuts. Then with your new keypad, you can send copy, cut, or paste commands to your computer, just as if you were typing directly on your computer!

FOR WORK OR PLAY
People typically use this app to increase productivity by creating layouts that control software on their computer. Many people use this with software such as Photoshop, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CAD, Sibelius, web browsers, games, and more. Basically any software that has keyboard shortcuts can be controlled with this app!
