Description
Use your Mac to type on your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV
Type2Phone works just like a Bluetooth keyboard: no additional app is needed.

• Use your Mac's full-sized keyboard with your iPhone and iPad
• Paste passwords, addresses, etc. from your Mac to your mobile device
• Type texts, tweets, status updates, etc.
• Reply to emails on accounts configured only on your iOS device
• Control your Apple TV
• Use a single keyboard with all your Apple devices

4th generation Apple TV requires tvOS 9.2 to enable Bluetooth keyboard support.


## Features:

• Connects automatically as you start typing
• Disconnects when idle or sent to the background (optional)
• Command-Tab in and out of Type2Phone
• Customizable keyboard shortcuts for all your devices
• Copy-paste text from Mac to iPhone, iPad or Apple TV
• AppleScript to automate text input
• Support for Mac OS X dictation (10.8 or later)
• Support for TextExpander on Mac
• Support for iOS Voice Over


## Get started in 3 easy steps:

• On your Mac, open System Preferences > Bluetooth. Make sure Bluetooth is on and discoverable. Leave System Presences open.
• Start Type2Phone. Leave it running and frontmost.
• On the iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth. Tap the name of your Mac to start the pairing procedure.

Please note: If your Mac and iOS device had been previously paired, you first need to undo the pairing on both ends. Have each device forget the other. Then go through the above procedure.

Previously useful, now nonfunctional

This was previously useful, and I previously gave it 3 stars (because it had occasional failures to connect). However, now, because of changes in macOS and/or iOS, it is completely nonfunction.

Absolute joke!

This thing is an absolute joke! I am extremely tech savvy, and promise this doesn't work. Tried with iPad, followed directions exactly, turned on/off bluetooth on both devices, told not supported, using Ventura, iPadOS 16.2, Ventrilo 13.1, enabled Roseta did no good, rebooted both devices, no good, uninstalled/reinstalled no good, dev never responds when contacted. Terrible terrible app. Probably a fake. Coming from someone who's been doing this stuff for over 20 years.

Doesn't Work on MacOS 12.4

App no longer works since MacOS update to 12.4. Seems the app hasn't been updated in years. I'd like my $10 back please? :)

Not working

I pair my iPhone to my MacBook Pro M1 with the app open and then nothing happens. Tried rebooting and reconnecting everything several times to no avail. Should have checked the reviews first. The positive ones are many years old and the new ones are all negative. Thi app is probably not maintained. Not sure how it can stay ib the app store.

barely works

waste of money, not at all what i thought it was going to be. don't buy it. you can not use capital letters (both shift letter and caps lock do not work). you can not use the return button (either to send messages or move down to the next line). you have to type super super super slow for the letters to actually show up on your phone (if you type at a normal speed, it literally just doesn't work). i want my ten bucks back, please.

Great App - When It Worked

This app was extremely useful until it stopped working and support couldn't get it to work because when I try to connect my iPhone to the Mac, I get a Pairing Unsuccessful message.
