Gamerpad Companion

Gamerpad Companion is the macOS companion app for GamerPad.

Install it on your Mac, open GamerPad on your iPhone or iPad, and connect both devices on the same Wi-Fi network. The Mac app shows a QR code, advertises itself on the local network, and receives gamepad input from the mobile app so supported games can see a controller-style input device.

Key features:

- Companion app for GamerPad mobile controllers

- Automatic discovery on the same local network

- QR code pairing when discovery is blocked by network settings

- Connection status, endpoint details, and connected device count

- Driver status controls for the virtual gamepad path

- Improved HID layout for controller-supported games, emulators, launchers, compatibility tools, and gamepad testers

- Xbox-style Back, Start, stick-click, Guide, stick, trigger, and D-pad mapping

- Localized interface with manual language selection

- Local network gameplay input during pairing and play

Great for:

- Using GamerPad with controller-supported games on Mac

- Controller-supported games, emulators, platformers, racing games, and local multiplayer

- Adding a phone-based controller when a hardware gamepad is not available

- Couch co-op sessions where multiple mobile devices can join

Requirements:

- GamerPad mobile app on iPhone or iPad

- A Mac running a supported macOS version

- Phone and Mac on the same local network

- A game or app that accepts gamepad input
