Sidekeys
A tool that turns an iPhone or iPad into a secondary Mac display and app-specific control panel.
What does it do?
After installing the Mac and iPhone apps and connecting with a USB-C cable, the mobile device becomes an additional display and control panel. Users can move Mac windows onto it, tap to click, scroll with 2 fingers, and type with the on-screen keyboard. The control panel changes with the foreground app, and a feature for approving Claude Code permission requests from the phone is also described. The Mac app is free, and the listed price of the iPhone app is $9.99.
