Your Phone on a Desk Stand Becomes a Touch Deck for Your PC

1. Nothing to Install

   A Keyboard Your PC Already Understands

   Pair the phone with Windows once, the way you would pair a Bluetooth keyboard. Keyperch then sends the keys for every tile you tap.

   • Hotkeys and media keys with no software, driver or account on the PC.
   • Tap a tile to send a shortcut. A tile can also keep its keys down for as long as you hold it, for push to talk.
   • No Wi-Fi needed. The keys travel over Bluetooth.
   • F13 to F24 are there too. No physical keyboard has them, so a tool such as AutoHotkey can map them to anything without clashing with your other shortcuts.
2. Optional and Free

   Add Keyperch for Windows for More

   Install the free Windows app and pair it with the phone by scanning a code on the PC screen. The two talk over your home network.

   • Live PC stats on tiles: CPU, RAM, GPU, video memory, disk and network speed.
   • Launch tiles that open an app, a file or a web page on the PC.
   • Edit your deck on the PC. Drag tiles onto a true-size copy of your phone screen, then send the deck to the phone.
   • Both screens show the same 6 digits when you pair, and nothing is trusted until you confirm they match.
   • No admin rights, no drivers and no open ports on the PC.

• Hotkeys and Media Keys

  Any key combination, from Ctrl+C to Win+Shift+S. Play, pause, skip, mute and volume. If the connection drops, Keyperch lets go of every held key, and the deck tells you when a key may be stuck.

• Macros

  Chain keys, typed text, waits, media keys, Home Assistant actions and page switches. Tap Stop, press a volume key or leave the deck, and the macro stops with every key released.

• Home Assistant

  Live tiles for lights, switches and scenes; light and switch tiles show whether they are on. Connect with a long-lived access token from your Home Assistant profile.

• Now Playing

  Album art, the title, and play, pause and skip controls for whatever is playing on the phone, from any app with media controls. There is nothing to sign in to.

• Made for the Stand

  Keyperch notices when the phone sits on its stand. The deck dims after 10 minutes without a touch on a charging stand, or 3 on battery, and shifts a few pixels every 3 minutes to spread screen wear. After 30 minutes off the stand, it lets go of the PC keyboard.

• Editing on the Phone

  Add, change and move tiles and pages on the deck itself, with undo and redo. Export the whole deck as one file, and import it on another phone.

• Four Free Themes

  Graphite is true black for OLED screens. Ember uses only black, amber and red, for night. High Contrast has heavier text and borders. Paper is dark text on light. Each theme has 8 tile tints. Tiles can show any of 7,188 icons.

• Safe by Default

  Anything changed off the phone, such as an imported file or a deck sent from the PC, arrives locked until you approve it on the unlocked phone. Risky Home Assistant tiles need a long press, and door, gate and garage tiles stay off over the lock screen.

• Large Text and TalkBack

  At large text sizes the deck switches to fewer, bigger tiles. Tiles have TalkBack labels, and every move in the editor has a button, not only a drag.

• Keyperch for Android

  Needs Android 9 or later, a Windows PC with Bluetooth, and a phone that allows Android's Bluetooth keyboard role. Some phone makers switch that role off. If yours does, Keyperch says so in Settings and does not offer Pro.

  Coming Soon to Google Play

• Keyperch for Windows

  Optional and free. Needs Windows 10 (version 2004 or later) or Windows 11, with the phone and PC on the same home network. Guest and office networks often block it.

  Coming Soon to the Microsoft Store
