Use iPhone to open apps, Apple Shortcuts and websites on Mac
Think beyond the keyboard, trackpad, and mouse: choclift is the third interface for interacting with your Mac. It turns your iPhone into a customizable chocolate bar that lets you instantly switch between favorite and recent Mac apps, trigger Apple Shortcuts without any detours, and use website bookmarks like never before. With a strong focus on product design and user experience, we're just getting started on building the quickest and sweetest way to work with your Mac.
Hey Product Hunt 👋, I’m Phil, founder and Chief Chocolate Officer of choclift 🍫
It all started with a simple question: After 40 years, is there room for an additional way to interact with our Macs besides the keyboard and mouse/trackpad? Something that makes multitasking quicker, more direct and natural, and turns common keyboard shortcuts and endless Cmd+Tab cycling into something... sweeter?
Turns out there is. So we built it and better yet, we found a way to make it free.
choclift is the delicious chocolate bar on your iPhone that you can customize with your favorite apps, Apple Shortcuts, and websites, all launchable with a single tap. Instead of remembering keyboard shortcuts or navigating through layers of menus and bookmarks, choclift gives you a more direct way to interact with your Mac. Drag and drop feels instant, your favorite apps are always within reach, and new interactions like hiding apps become possible through simple swipe gestures. With a strong focus on interface design and user experience, choclift is unlike anything else out there.
And we’re only getting started. We're constantly exploring what else can sweeten a workflow. That’s why we added more swipe gestures for common actions like maximizing windows, copying and pasting, and even a real-time timeline of your recently opened apps. We call it “App Time Travel", an even quicker way to switch between apps.
If you’re skeptical about how this could fit into your workflow, give it a try. Maybe, without even realising it, you’ve been craving more sweetness while working with Mac all along: www.choclift.com
