I'm Amon, the maker. Remote Mac has been quietly on the App Store for a few weeks, and the Product Hunt launch is this Tuesday, August 18.
If you're one of the people who found it early: first, thank you. You're the reason the rough edges got filed down. Before Tuesday, I'd love this thread to collect two things:
How are you actually using it? The couch, the kitchen, answering a Claude Code question from a cafe, the VR desktop in bed. Real setups help me explain the product better than any copy I write, and launch visitors will read this page.
What's still rough? If something's clunky or missing, tell me here where I can't ignore it. I'm deciding what gets built right after launch, and early-user complaints go to the front of that line.
And if you have questions about anything (how the encryption works, where Android is, why VR mode exists), ask away. I'll answer everything before launch day.
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Amon, maker of Remote Mac.
This started as a personal itch. I'd kick off a long Claude Code session, walk away to make coffee or lie on the couch, and the agent would stop to ask me a question. Walking back to the desk every time felt ridiculous. I wanted to pull out my phone, read the terminal, answer, and get back to my coffee.
So I built it. Remote Mac turns your iPhone into a trackpad, keyboard, and live screen for your Mac:
Live screen mirroring with Mac audio, low-latency enough to actually work on
A full trackpad and keyboard, with a shortcuts rail for the keys iOS hides
VR mode: hold up your phone and look around a big virtual desktop by moving it. Sounds like a gimmick until you try it lying down.
Free on your home Wi-Fi. Connecting over the internet when you're away is the premium bit (subscription or one-time lifetime), with a free trial so you can test it from a cafe first
Encrypted in transit on both paths.
The Mac side is a small free helper app, the phone side is on the App Store, and Android is in the works.
For launch day: code PRODUCTHUNT gets you 50% off your first year of Premium (500 codes), and Lifetime is launch-priced until August 31. Redeem here:

I'd love to hear how you'd use it, and I'll be here all day answering questions. Honest feedback welcome, including the critical kind.
