After the keyboard and trackpad redefined how we interact with computers, it’s time for the next step: meet choclift on iPhone and iPad, the third interface in your Mac setup, designed to lift your productivity to a whole new level. Built on everything we learned from choclift for iPhone, the iPad version was designed from the ground up for the bigger screen. It’s fully resizable, brings more actions and features into view, and lets you connect multiple devices at once. It’s the most complete choclift experience we’ve ever made. Launch and switch between Mac apps instantly from your iPhone with up to 8 customizable pages. Add shortcuts, customize them with emojis and trigger them directly…from choclift.com
