Remote desktop for AI agents running on headless Macs
Running AI agents on a headless Mac mini? You still need to see what's happening. Check logs, restart stuck tasks, monitor outputs. Workbench is remote desktop built for the AI era, so you can babysit your agents from anywhere, without being tethered to your desk. Apple-native, with voice dictation and low-latency streaming powered by LIQUID, our proprietary tech. Built by ex-Apple engineers.
Workbench provides fast, perceptually lossless remote desktop access with ultra-low latency powered by proprietary LIQUID technology. It connects instantly via global relay network without port forwarding or complex network configuration, supporting Retina displays and native Mac/iOS apps.
Workbench supports voice dictation to trigger commands, Apple Pencil for precise cursor control, familiar gestures for navigation, and full keyboard input. Users can interact with their Mac using the input methods they already rely on, with speech-to-text converting spoken prompts directly to the Mac.
Workbench includes a device catalog that lets users view, manage, and easily swap between all devices connected to their account, enabling efficient multi-device workflows without manual reconnection.
Workbench enables real-time monitoring of AI agent jobs, log review, and remote troubleshooting without being tethered to a desk. Users can spot issues, make changes, and restart automated jobs from iPhone or iPad, keeping tabs on background processes.
Workbench uses end-to-end AES-256 encryption so sessions remain completely private. No one, including Astropad, can see the user's screen, keyboard, mouse, or activity. Built on modern security best practices to protect work and data.
