AnyPS5 Remote · iPhone & Android

Your phone
is the DualSense.

AnyPS5 Remote turns a phone on the same Wi-Fi, or on a cable, into a DualSense for the games your Mac runs. It finds the launcher by itself, and with Remote Play the game comes to the phone's screen.

01The pad

Every button, all at once.

Both sticks, ✕ ○ □ △, L1 R1, L2 R2, the D-pad, Options and the touchpad, any number of them held at once, with the latency shown. It takes over when a game starts.

Silksong played with the phone, the pad in the corner

  • Touchpad

    Slide to move the touch, tap to click, hold to keep clicking; two fingers are two touches.

  • L3 and R3

    A double tap on a stick holds it in.

  • Motion

    The accelerometer and gyroscope are the DualSense's motion sensors, turned to match how you hold the phone.

  • Rumble

    The game's two motors: the large one dull, the small one crisp (Core Haptics on iPhone).

  • Trigger effects

    While L2 or R2 is held, the phone pulses where the trigger would push back.

  • Light bar

    The pad glows with the game's light bar colour.

  • PS and Create

    PS brings the launcher in front of the game; Create saves the last seconds as a clip.

  • Your layout, per game

    Move, size, fade or hide any control, or make it a toggle or turbo button. The Mac keeps it with the game.

02Remote Play

The game on the phone's screen.

Turn it on in the phone's About sheet and the game plays behind the pad, picture and sound. Off by default: the phone stays the controller alone.

The Mac launcher with the phone connected, its screen in the corner

  • Picture and sound

    The Mac needs the screen recording permission once.

  • Launcher mode

    The Mac's games over the selected one's background. Picking one on the phone picks it on the Mac.

  • Play from the couch

    Play, Back to Game and Close Game; the arrows, ✕, ○ and ≡ move around the launcher's own screen.

  • What the Mac is doing

    Unlocking, updating or starting: the step, a bar and the time it has taken.

  • Trophies

    A trophy earned drops in at the top of the phone, and the phone buzzes.

  • The launcher's theme

    And its language, English or Turkish.

03Connecting

Finds the Mac by itself.

The first time, the Mac asks once and both show the same four-digit code. After that it connects with no question.

  • Wi-Fi

    Found on the same network; the Mac's address can be typed in when needed.

  • A cable, no Wi-Fi

    An iPhone plugged into the Mac connects through it by itself (usbmuxd); Android with USB debugging and adb.

  • Up to four phones

    One per player; a phone becomes the next player the first time a button is pressed. New phones pair while others play.

  • PCs too

    AnyPS5 Desktop speaks the same protocol and pairs the phone.

04AnyTogether on the go

Your friends, still on the pad.

From the people button on the home screen. Signed out, the phone is the controller as always.

  • Sign in

    An email code, or one tap with the account the Mac uses; a signed-in phone signs the Mac in too.

  • Friends

    Who is online and what they play, requests, adding by handle.

  • Messages

    The same conversations as on the Mac and the website, with unread counts.

  • Parties and voice

    Talk with your party while the phone is still your pad.

  • 1:1 calls

    Call a friend from their entry.

  • Profile

    Edit your name, bio and picture; see your games, hours and trophies.

  • Activity and leaderboards

    Friends' trophies and milestones with reactions; points among friends or everyone.

  • Notifications

    Requests, invites, missed calls.

  • Share play, with the pad

    Watch a friend's game and play along when they hand you a controller.

  • Another server

    When the Mac uses a self-hosted AnyTogether, the phone offers it.

  • Friends on the phone: requests, who plays what, a friend sharing their game

  • Messages on the phone: conversations and one open, a friend typing
