Six modes. Any layout.
OldPadDeck ships with six ready-made modes, and every one of them is just a starting point: a grid of widgets you can rearrange however you like.
Your keys, one tap away.
App keys with their real icons, a screenshot key, now playing, the volume, your internet speed and the batteries of everything on your desk.
- Keys do anything: open an app, a website or a Shortcut, send a key combo, type a snippet.
- Real icons: app keys use the Mac's own app icons, website keys the site's icon.
- Batteries at a glance: Mac, AirPods and their case, iPhone, iPad, Magic Mouse and Keyboard.
Your Mac's vital signs.
Everything Activity Monitor knows, on a screen you don't have to switch to, refreshed every second.
- CPU per core, performance and efficiency cores in their own colours.
- Memory pressure, Mac battery health and cycles, power in watts.
- Temperatures and fans: CPU, GPU, battery, fan speed and power draw.
- Top processes: a stable list that doesn't jump around. Long-press one to quit it.
Work in sprints.
A Pomodoro timer that does more than count: it can switch on Do Not Disturb for the length of a session and tell you when it's over.
- Pomodoro with the session length you choose, optional breaks, and daily focus time.
- Today's reminders and calendar, checked off right from the iPad.
- The iPad follows: start a session and it jumps to Focus by itself.
Music and sound, hands off the Mac.
Big artwork, transport controls, volume and microphone sliders, and the audio output list.
- Music or Spotify: whichever is playing, or launches the one you prefer.
- Every output in one list: built-in, displays, USB, Bluetooth and AirPlay speakers.
- Mic slider and mute for calls and recording.
A trackpad and a keyboard.
Drive the Mac from the couch, or keep your hands where they are.
- Trackpad with tap to click and two-finger scroll.
- Shortcut keys: copy, paste, undo, app switcher, or any combo you set.
- Type or dictate text on the iPad and send it to the Mac.
Calm when you're away.
After 10 idle minutes, the iPad switches to a large clock with the weather and a few numbers. One touch brings you back.
- Weather for the city you choose, from Open-Meteo.
- Transparent widgets so the clock floats on the background.
Build your own screens.
Tap ✎, then + Widget. Pick from the catalog, or from your Mac's apps to make a key in one tap. Every widget can be moved, resized, replaced or deleted, with undo.
