Turn your old iPhone into a Mac app launcher. Tap a large icon on your iPhone to instantly switch apps on your Mac—no Cmd+Tab, no searching, no lost focus. Works on iOS 16+, pairs in under 2 minutes, and runs entirely on your local Wi-Fi with no account required. Get started: Mac app (free): mackeymapper.com iPhone app: App Store 🎁 First 500 Product Hunters get Premium free — details in the comments
I built MacKeymapper because I kept losing focus every time I switched apps on my Mac. Cmd+Tab always felt like a speed bump — scan, click, miss, repeat.
The idea hit me when I saw my old iPhone sitting unused on my desk. What if that screen always showed exactly the apps I need, ready to tap instantly?
A few things I'm proud of: - iOS 16+ support — most "retired" iPhones work perfectly as a dedicated Mac controller - Zero server involvement — purely local network, so it works offline via iPhone hotspot too - The free tier is genuinely useful (4 app shortcuts, not a fake limit to force upgrades)
🎁 Launch offer for Product Hunt: The first 500 people get Premium free (unlimited apps + no ads + custom wallpaper). Use code MKM500 here → https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ct...
