Keep builds, downloads and local AI tasks running on your Mac, then check its status from your iPhone or Android. Free includes Mac power controls and live phone status. Pro adds remote mode switching. Battery, thermal and session limits stay in place.
I leave long local builds and model runs going and walk away from the laptop all the time, so this one hits home. I like that the Mac makes the battery and thermal calls instead of the phone overriding them. When it hits a thermal limit mid-task, does it pause the job or just warn you?
@anirudh_madhavan It ends the Always On session and restores normal macOS sleep behavior. It doesn’t pause or checkpoint the job itself. With the lid closed, the Mac can then sleep, which may interrupt the task. So it actively stops keeping the Mac awake, rather than just showing a warning.
Plus we send a push notification on your device letting you the state has changed from Always On to Sleepy
A phone status check sounds handy for a long build. Sometimes you just want to know whether it finished without opening a remote desktop session.
@oleksii_sekundant Thanks, Oleksii. That's the use case I had in mind: a quick check on your Mac and connected agents without opening a remote desktop session. You also get a push notification when a supported agent needs your input. And you can see whether each agent is idle or busy, so you know when a task is done.
