What Mink does
A key panel in landscape
You set up keys, pages and folders on the Mac. The iPhone only reports which key you press.
Profiles that follow you
Bring Xcode to the front and the Xcode keys appear. Profiles follow the app in front.
Sliders in the corners
Brightness and volume sit along the rounded corners of the display. The value is pushed, so grabbing the phone never blasts the volume.
No cloud, no account
Mac and iPhone only talk to each other, encrypted with the key from pairing.
How it works
Open Mink on your Mac and follow the welcome window.
Pair your iPhone with a QR code.
Pick starter decks or build your own keys.
Stand the iPhone in landscape and start pressing.
Questions
Do I need an account or a cloud?
No. Mac and iPhone connect directly over Wi-Fi or a cable.
Do my shortcuts work on any keyboard layout?
Yes. Mink stores the character, not the key position. ⌘Z stays ⌘Z on a Swiss, German, French or US layout.
When is Mink coming out?
Mid to late November 2026. You will find the exact date on getmink.ch.
What does Mink cost?
You can use Mink for free. Mink Unlimited unlocks everything for CHF 20 once. Or take Knieses Workshop for every Knieses app. You buy here on knieses.ch.
