Control Deck
Everyday actions, as buttons.
Launch apps, send keystrokes, run Shortcuts and scripts. The iPhone on your desk becomes a hands-on switchboard for your Mac.
- Launch apps, send keys, run Shortcuts
- Run Python or shell scripts in one tap — results come back to your iPhone
- Schedule runs at set times
App Launch
Open Mac apps with a tap.
Just pick from the apps already installed on your Mac. Give each app its own deck, and the buttons at hand switch as the app opens.
- Pick from installed Mac apps
- Per-app decks that switch automatically
- Templates for Claude, Cursor, Final Cut Pro, and more
Trackpad
Your screen, as a trackpad.
Swipe on your iPhone to move the cursor on your Mac. Keep your hands off the keyboard and finish the small moves at hand.
- Swipe to move the cursor, tap to click
- Two fingers to scroll, two-finger tap to right-click
- Long press to start a drag
- Inertial scrolling that glides on after you lift your finger
- One button for screenshots — pick an area and a crosshair appears on your Mac to frame it from your hand
Video remote
Video, from your hand.
Tap a tile on the home deck and the site opens on your Mac while a remote appears in your hand. Play, volume, captions — all without going back to the keyboard. Works with YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video and Hulu.
- Play and pause, 10-second skips, previous and next video and chapter
- Ten steps from 0 to 90 % to jump straight to the part you want
- Captions, full screen, playback speed, volume and brightness
- The lower half stays a trackpad, so you never have to switch back for the pointer

Desk Clock
Turn it sideways — it's a desk clock.
In landscape, STIL.HUB switches to a desk layout with a clock beside your menu. A quiet presence on your desk, even between uses.
On the Mac side: STIL.HUB Companion.
STIL.HUB needs this app on your Mac. It's free, lives in your menu bar, and pairs with your iPhone once using a 6-digit code.

Runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel. The DMG is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple.

Once installed, three steps get you connected.
- 01

Open the DMG and drag it to your Applications folder. Otherwise the Accessibility permission is lost on every launch.

Local Network Only
All between these two.
Your iPhone and Mac talk only within the same local network. Traffic is encrypted with AES-GCM, and nothing is ever sent to our servers or anyone else's. No account, no data collection.
