Intent

I need it when

Securely control Mac terminal commands from mobile device without exposing ports

Macky uses end-to-end encrypted WebRTC with dual-layer identity verification, device allow-listing, and master password protection for terminal access, keeping data invisible to network and cloud

Monitor Mac activity and maintain connection logs for security auditing

Macky Pro tier ($29 lifetime) provides 30-day connection logs and background connect capability, enabling security monitoring and persistent access when Mac lid is closed

Access Mac desktop and terminal from iPhone while away from desk

Macky provides real-time remote desktop and terminal access from iOS with sub-50ms latency via direct P2P WebRTC connection, eliminating need for SSH setup or port forwarding

Maintain remote Mac access across network changes and WiFi switches

Macky's P2P architecture with blind signaling server survives seamless network transitions without session drops, unlike VPN-based solutions that may disconnect during network switches

Set up remote Mac access quickly without complex key management

Macky requires only installing iOS and Mac apps with zero manual key generation or SSH configuration, compared to Tailscale+SSH workflows that demand multiple setup steps

Drop

  • User needs persistent always-on remote access without time limits on free tier
  • User operates on macOS versions older than 15
  • User requires SSH key management and manual configuration workflows
