Finale KeyPadYour score.
Your familiar shortcuts.

Finale KeyPad connects your iPhone or iPad to an existing Finale desktop installation. Use a dedicated touch keypad to send notation shortcuts while your score stays open on the computer.

A companion for your score

Keep familiar notation commands within reach without carrying an extra hardware keypad. What each shortcut does depends on Finale’s active tool, selection, and keyboard settings.

Finale KeyPad does not include Finale. Confirm that your existing Finale installation works on your computer before setting up the companion app.

Get connected

1. Install the free Remote Helper on your Mac or Windows PC.
2. Connect your computer and iPhone or iPad to the same local network or Personal Hotspot.
3. Open Finale KeyPad, select the computer, and approve access in the helper when prompted.
4. Open your score and make Finale the active app.

The Finale KeyPad setup guide covers connection and input checks.

Requirements

You need Finale desktop software, the mobile app, and Remote Helper. The current helper supports macOS 12 or later and Windows 7 or later; older Mac helper downloads are available for legacy systems.
