Updates

Update Jun 15: Added support for Mouse. This is a paid feature and requires In-App purchase for Multi-device.

Update May 28: Apple has released Security updates for 10.14.6 (Mojave) which has this bug fixed! App is now working on Mojave also…but High Sierra (10.13.6) still has the bug.

Update March 25: Apple has released MacOS 10.15.4 which has a fix for the MacOS bug. YAY!!! Unfortunately the related security updates for Mojave and High Sierra do not include this fix.

Update Mar 14: Along with 10.15.3 Apple released security updates for Mojave (10.14.6) and High Sierra(10.13.6) which introduced the bug there. Stopped all development on KeyPad.

Update Feb 7: Reported detailed feedback to Apple, Holding my breath; turning deep shade of purple.

Update Jan 25: Apple released MacOS 10.15.3 which had a bug in Bluetooth Implementation. KeyPad has stopped working.

What Works: If you have already connected to an iPhone or iPad before your os upgraded to 10.15.3 (or Security Update 2020-001) app will continue to work. If you are using a NON iOS device (example android phone, another MAC) all features work.

Thank you for this awesome review SOFTPEDIA!

“Over the years, I’ve encountered people who are so proficient with touchscreen keyboards that typing on their phones barely slows them down. Unfortunately, I’m not one of them. I dread having to use a touchscreen for typing, and I always wish I could just plug in a keyboard and get it done the old-fashioned way.

Of course, you can just get a Bluetooth keyboard, but what if you want to use a wired device, or one that is currently paired with your Mac? Well, it’s a good thing you asked, because KeyPad lets you do just that.”
