Control Surface
How
- Install a control surface app on the iPad
- Install any required companion app on the Mac
- Connect both devices to the same network
- Open the control app on the iPad
- Assign buttons, sliders, or commands to Mac actions
Try this
Set up one button on a control surface app to trigger an action on the Mac — mute audio, run a shortcut, or start recording.
Why it works
Use iPad apps as touch panels for music, streaming, shortcuts, or creative work.
The iPad becomes a custom button board.
