Make your own buttons for the things you do all day
Turn a keyboard shortcut, a chunk of text, or a few steps in a row into one button on your phone.
Macros turn your phone into your own control panel. If you can do it with the keyboard, you can put it on a button.
What you can do
Shortcut buttons
Any keyboard shortcut, on one button.
Saved text
Your email sign-off, your address, a paragraph you type every day.
Several steps at once
A few shortcuts in a row, for jobs you do the same way every time.
Protected buttons
Buttons that ask for your face or fingerprint before they type something private.
Share them
Import ready-made sets, or share your own. Private buttons are never shared.
How to start
- Open Macros and add a button.
- Choose what it does and give it a name.
- Tap it whenever you need it.
Worth knowing
- Part of Premium. Most buttons are simply keystrokes, so they also work over Bluetooth on Android with nothing installed.
Good for
- A one-tap button for the video editing shortcut you use a hundred times a day.
- The email sign-off you type forty times a week, on a single button.
- Your own little control deck on a work computer where you can’t install anything.
- Switching camera views in a 3D app without hunting for the keys.
Questions
Can I make my own buttons or shortcuts with Remotype?
Yes. With Macros you can create buttons for keyboard shortcuts, saved text and multi-step actions, and share them with others. Macros are part of Premium, and most of them also work over Bluetooth on Android.
