Mini Keyboard — Support

Getting started

Mini Keyboard is two apps: one on your iPhone, and a small menu-bar app on your Mac. You need both, and both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Open Mini Keyboard on your Mac. It lives in the menu bar — there is no Dock icon and no window.
Grant permission when asked (see below).
Open Mini Keyboard on your iPhone and tap your Mac in the list.
Scan the QR code shown in the Mac's menu-bar popover.
Click into any app on your Mac and start typing.

The permission on your Mac

macOS lists permission to send key presses under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility, even though sending key presses is all this app does. Apple groups several different permissions in that one place, which is confusing but expected.

Mini Keyboard never reads your screen and never reads what you type. It only sends the keys and pointer movements you make on your phone.

The permission is switched on, but it still won't type

If you have updated or reinstalled the app, macOS may be holding an entry for the older copy. Select Mini Keyboard in the Accessibility list, remove it with the – button, then add it again with + and switch it on.

Troubleshooting

My iPhone can't find my Mac

Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network. A VPN on either device will usually break discovery.
On the Mac, check System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network and make sure Mini Keyboard is allowed.
On the iPhone, allow Local Network access when prompted. If you declined it, enable it in Settings → Mini Keyboard.
Guest and public Wi-Fi networks often block devices from seeing each other. This is a network restriction, not an app setting.

It says the pairing code is out of date

Open the Mac app's menu-bar popover and scan the QR code again. If you tapped New code on the Mac, every previously paired phone must re-scan.

Does it work over the internet or mobile data?

No. Mini Keyboard works only on your local Wi-Fi network, by design. Nothing you type is sent to any server, and there is no account.

Privacy

What you type goes from your iPhone to your Mac over your own network, encrypted, and nowhere else. There is no account and no cloud sync. Full details in the privacy policy.

Still stuck?

Email dark2torch@gmail.com and include your iPhone model, your macOS version, and what you saw. If pairing is the problem, say whether your Mac appears in the iPhone's list at all — that one detail narrows it down immediately.
