  • Unlike PC keyboard, there is no Print Screen key on MacBook keyboard. This functionality is accessed by keyboard shortcuts and - on Mac - you have greater flexibility: Command + Shift + 3 - captures entire screen; Command + Shift + 4 - captures selected region. Your cursor turns to crosshair and by clicking and dragging you can specify which area you want to capture.

KeyPad lets you connect to the device you want to control, and then anything you type in KeyPad goes directly to your connected Phone, Tablet or TV.

KeyPad is in your menubar, always available.

Note: In order to set up KeyPad, please, initiate the Bluetooth Pairing process from the device that you want to control. So if you need to connect to a phone, Launch the preferences in KeyPad, and Launch Bluetooth Settings on the Mac, but connect to the Mac from the phone's Bluetooth settings.

Privacy:

KeyPad does not have access to the internet, so it cannot send any data out, or even show ads. It only has permissions to access Bluetooth and to launch the Bluetooth settings.
