WisprPad

What it does

• Remote trackpad — tap, double-tap, swipe, and scroll the Mac cursor from your iPhone.
• Push-to-talk dictation — hold the record button, speak, release, and the transcript is typed at the Mac's current cursor.
• Enter & Delete shortcuts next to the record button. Long-press Delete to keep deleting.
• Portrait or landscape — layout adapts; the record button position is customizable in Settings.
• On-device, private — recognition uses macOS's built-in Apple offline engine. Audio never leaves your machine.

Who it's for

• Speakers and presenters who need to drive their Mac from across the room.
• People who'd rather dictate than type.
• iPad-as-main-display setups where the iPhone becomes a flexible second surface.

Requirements

• The WisprPad Mac app (released alongside the iPhone app on the Mac App Store).
• Mac and iPhone on the same Wi-Fi network.

Support & FAQ

• The Mac app doesn't show up on the iPhone. Make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network, and that local network access is allowed for WisprPad in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network.
• Dictation doesn't type anything. Open the Mac app's permissions panel and grant Accessibility access (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility) so WisprPad can write text into the focused app.
• Speech recognition isn't working. Ensure your Mac has downloaded an offline speech model for the language you're using (System Settings → Keyboard → Dictation).
• Cursor feels laggy. Latency depends on your local Wi-Fi. Try the 5 GHz band and stay close to the router.
