What’s new
Version 1.1.3 · Updated August 12, 2026
Remote Control — drive your Mac's terminal from your iPhone. Scan a QR code to pair, then connect the fastest way available: same Wi-Fi, Nearby, SSH, or the web. Switch and search tabs, stack several and send one command to all of them at once, grab a screenshot of the Mac's real terminal, and reuse recent commands. Paired Macs are saved and reconnect like any other connection. Data Bridge — share your iPhone's cellular data with your Mac. One tap copies the command to run on the Mac, a 4-digit PIN keeps it yours, and a live traffic log shows what is going through — with block and allow rules for anything you would rather it did not. VNC Screen Sharing is now available as an in-app purchase. In Remote Control's Web tab, a new "What is this?" explains what the Server URL is and how the relay works, and you can now clear a saved server address in one tap. Fixes: a crash on launch, a blank screen after scanning the pairing QR code, and the Send button going dead on stale tabs.
