The whole Mac, in your pocket

Phones and tablets

Pick a Mac resolution that fits your screen with Best for this device. The Mac switches back when you disconnect.

Touch, two ways

Trackpad mode for precision, or direct touch to click where you tap. Two fingers scroll with momentum and right-click.

Characters a US Mac has no key for

Type in your own language from the on-screen or a hardware keyboard; Punte sends the characters you type, whatever the Mac's layout.

Pair with a QR code

Scan the code the Mac shows and the address, port and pairing code are filled in.

Clipboard both ways

Copy on the Mac and paste on Android, or the other way round, when you turn it on for that Mac.

Unlock a locked Mac

Sign in to a locked Mac through its own Screen Sharing, carried inside Punte's encrypted connection. Your device's key stays in the Android Keystore.
