Bluetouch — Turn Your iPhone into a Remote Input Device
Bluetouch is a compact app that converts your iPhone into a Bluetooth keyboard and touchpad. With it, your phone can act as a remote input device for computers, tablets, smart TVs and other smartphones, letting you control those devices from a distance without needing a traditional keyboard or mouse.
Setup and Connectivity — Fast, Simple, No Extra Downloads
You don’t have to install companion software on the host device. The app connects via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), so as long as the target device supports BLE you can pair directly. There’s no dependence on Wi‑Fi or cellular data, which makes setup quick and reliable.
Controls and Capabilities — What the App Provides
- Full keyboard mode with function keys, modifier keys and dedicated arrow keys for complete typing and shortcut support.
- Physical-style mouse buttons, including left, right and middle clicks.
- A responsive touchpad area that mimics laptop trackpads for pointer control and gestures.
- A convenient sidebar for smooth page scrolling and fast navigation through long documents.
- A low‑light friendly interface option that reduces glare for evening or dark-room use.
Comfort and Everyday Use — Designed for Natural Interaction
Using Bluetouch feels familiar — similar to texting or swiping on your phone — so there’s little of a learning curve. It helps reduce the need to lean over a laptop or reach for a separate mouse, keeping common controls within thumb reach for more relaxed, ergonomic use.
Alternatives and Pricing
If you want to explore other options, AppValley is frequently suggested as a free alternative. Depending on your needs you may also find other remote input apps with additional features or different connectivity methods.
Summary
Bluetouch offers a straightforward way to use your iPhone as both keyboard and touchpad. Its BLE-only setup, familiar interaction model and practical features make it a handy tool for remote control of many types of devices.
