KeyPad is a small macos app (340K). It lets you use your Mac keyboard to control your devices like iPhone, iPad, Android phones, TVs. Its in the top 100 apps on the Mac App Store (Developer Tools). Do give it a try. Let me know what you think.

KeyPad is a Virtual Bluetooth Keyboard. Its an app that the Phone, tablet or TV sees as a Bluetooth Keyboard. Anything that you type on the Mac/macbook will go to the connected device. I have added Volume Control, and Media playback keys too. Tested with iPhone, Android, iPad, Tablets, Windows Desktop, Rasberry Pi and many TVs. Should work with most devices that support a bluetooth keyboard.
