Your old phone is a macro pad waiting to happen.

DeckPad turns a retired smartphone into a sleek desk controller next to your keyboard — numpad, spreadsheet formulas, creative tools, and fully custom macro grids. No cloud. No account. No e-waste.

Workspace layers, not just buttons

Switch the whole pad's personality with one tap. Start free; unlock pro layers once, forever.

DIY Canvas

Design your own layers in DeckPad Studio — keys, sliders, jog dials, D-pads, toggles, even a trackpad — in grids up to 8×8, and push them to the pad live.

Feels like hardware, because it basically is

Premium themes, mechanical-switch sound profiles, and neon RGB glow — rendered at a locked 60 fps.

🎛️

Theme engine

Neon RGB, Thock Dark, Sunset Glass, Terminal Green. Each theme carries its own glow animation and keycap style.

⌨️

Switch sounds

Cherry MX Blue click or a deep linear "thock" on every press — preloaded, sub-5 ms, with natural rate jitter.

🔒

100% offline

No backend, no accounts, no analytics. Layouts, purchases, and themes live on the phone's local storage. Period.

DeckPad Studio: the desktop half

One free app on your computer is the receiver, the layer editor, and the brain that tells the pad what app you're in.

🔗

Scan once, linked forever

Studio shows a QR code; the phone scans it and both directions connect — keystrokes to the computer, edits back to the pad. No IPs, no accounts, no internet.

🧩

Real layer editor

Build layers on a big screen: place keys, sliders, jog dials, D-pads, toggles, labels, and a trackpad on an 8×8 canvas. Presets are editable too — override any of them, revert in one click.

⌨️

Feels like hardware

Keys fire on touch-down like a real switch, hold-to-repeat works like a keyboard, and every theme carries its own click sound and haptic punch.

From drawer to desk in three steps

Install DeckPad

Put the app on the old phone sitting in your drawer. Android or iPhone — it just needs a working touchscreen.

Link to your PC

Install DeckPad Studio on your computer — it's the keystroke receiver and layer editor in one. It shows a QR code; the phone scans it. Linked. No internet, no account, nothing in the cloud.

Press keys, get work done

Keystrokes, formulas, and timed macro sequences land in any app on your computer — Excel, Premiere, VS Code, anything.

Download

The phone app is the controller. DeckPad Studio on your PC relays the keystrokes and edits your layers — that's the whole setup.
