The same keys on your iPhone

Remolo turns your iPhone into a panel of buttons for your Mac. This set switches on by itself when Logic Pro is in front, so the keys you use most are one tap away — no reaching across the desk.

With the next Remolo update you’ll add this set with one tap from this page. Until then, build it in Buttons → Edit, or start from the ready-made profiles in Remolo’s gallery. Button profiles are part of Remolo Pro.
