I built TouchDeck: it reads any Mac app's shortcuts, builds a deck for it, and switches decks on your iPhone or iPad when you change apps

Wait 5 sec.

Hey r/SideProject 👋 I kept forgetting keyboard shortcuts across the apps I use every day, and I didn't want to buy a hardware Stream Deck when I already had an iPad on my desk. So I built TouchDeck: your iPhone or iPad becomes a control deck for your Mac. The two features I'm proudest of: 1. It reads the shortcuts for you and builds the profile Pick any Mac app and TouchDeck reads the shortcuts straight from that app's menus, then creates a ready-to-use profile with those commands on keys. No looking up shortcuts, no typing key combos, no building a layout from scratch. Works with apps I've never heard of, because it reads whatever the app itself offers. 2. Profiles switch automatically Change apps on your Mac and the deck on your iPhone or iPad switches with it, instantly. Editing video? Timeline keys and a jog wheel. Back in the browser? Your browser deck. You never pick a profile by hand. Together that means: open an app, and its deck is already there. Other bits • Keys, rotary dials, sliders and a jog wheel, with haptics on iPhone • Multi-step workflows on a single key • Layouts for iPhone, iPhone Duo and every iPad size • Local Wi-Fi only, end-to-end encrypted, no account • Decks back up to your own iCloud App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6834113868 Website: https://touchdeck.in I'd love feedback: which apps would you want a deck for, and does anything feel clunky during setup? Happy to answer questions about how it's built too.   submitted by   /u/No-Region8612 [link]   [comments]
