Facts
- Product
- Desmaptic: AI Macropad for Mac. Buttons and live widgets for anything, on iPhone and iPad, built by your AI.
- What it is
- An iPhone and iPad app plus a free Mac agent in the menu bar. Buttons press key combinations, run zsh scripts and AppleScript, launch apps, run Shortcuts, open URLs, type text snippets and switch pages — or show live data that updates on its own.
- AI
- A built-in MCP server. Claude Desktop, Claude Code and ChatGPT / Codex connect with one click in the agent; Cursor, Windsurf and any other MCP client take a config copied from it. An AI can build whole pages. Every change it sends through Desmaptic arrives on the phone as a review card with the full code and applies only after Accept. Through Desmaptic, an AI can’t press your buttons or delete them.
- Gallery
- 34 ready-made widgets; pages of shortcuts for 35 Mac apps, such as Xcode, VS Code, Figma, Slack and Spotify; 3 full-page scenes: Mac Town, Visualizer and Aquarium.
- Grid
- 4 × 8 buttons on iPhone, 6 × 8 on large screens: iPad and the unfolded iPhone Duo. A button can span several cells.
- Privacy
- No account, no Desmaptic server, no analytics. Phone and Mac talk directly over the local network through an encrypted connection, paired once with a 6-digit code. The deck syncs through the user’s own iCloud.
- Requirements
- iPhone or iPad with iOS or iPadOS 17 or later; a Mac with macOS 15 or later running the free agent; both on the same Wi-Fi network. A Mac serves one phone at a time.
- Price
- Mac agent: free. iPhone and iPad app: free with 2 profiles of 2 pages each, with every button type, live widgets and AI apps included. Desmaptic Pro — monthly, yearly or a one-time Lifetime purchase through the App Store — unlocks unlimited profiles and pages. Prices are in the App Store.
- Languages
- English, German, Spanish, French, Russian.
- Availability
- Mac agent: available now, notarized by Apple, updates itself. iPhone and iPad app: coming soon to the App Store.
- Developer
- Mikhail Zhukov, independent developer, Cyprus.

25 words
Desmaptic is an AI macropad for Mac on iPhone and iPad. Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client builds buttons; you approve them on your phone.
50 words
Desmaptic turns an iPhone or iPad into an AI macropad for your Mac. Buttons press hotkeys, run scripts, launch apps or show live numbers. Ask Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client for a page: it arrives on your phone with every script shown, and applies only when you tap Accept.
150 words
Desmaptic turns the iPhone or iPad you already own into an AI macropad for your Mac. A free menu-bar agent runs everything on the Mac; the phone holds the buttons: key combinations, zsh and AppleScript, Shortcuts, app launches, text snippets — and live buttons that draw data, like a CPU ring or a countdown.
You don’t have to build the deck by hand. The agent includes an MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT / Codex or any MCP client can build whole pages. Every change it sends arrives on the phone as a card showing each script, and applies only when you tap Accept. Through Desmaptic, an AI can’t press your buttons or delete them.
There is no account and no Desmaptic server: phone and Mac talk over the local network, encrypted. The Mac agent is free; the app is free with two profiles of two pages, and Desmaptic Pro unlocks the rest.
What sets it apart
- Your AI builds it; you approve it on the phone. An AI app doesn’t just trigger actions someone set up: it sends finished buttons — scripts, icons, live faces — and the phone shows every line of code before you tap Accept.
- Buttons that draw. A button can be a picture a script keeps current: rings, graphs, clocks, a build that turns red. Three scenes turn a whole page into one picture, like a neon city built from the apps on your Mac.
- No new hardware, no cloud. The iPhone or iPad you already own, no account and no Desmaptic server. A large screen, such as an iPad or an unfolded iPhone Duo, gets two more columns of buttons.
Short FAQ
- Is it safe to let an AI change the deck?
- Changes an AI sends through Desmaptic wait for Accept on the iPhone or iPad, with every script shown on the card. Running a command on the Mac is off until you turn on Allow AI to Run Commands, and then you allow each command. Through Desmaptic, an AI can’t press your buttons or delete them.
- Does it work away from home?
- The iPhone or iPad and the Mac need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. There is no Desmaptic server to carry a tap over the internet.
- Do I need to write code?
- No. Most buttons are a type you pick and set up on the phone, ready-made live widgets wait in the Gallery, and an AI app can write the rest.
- Is there a Windows or Android version?
- No. Mac, iPhone and iPad only.
