Community Voice & Feedback
Mackie explaining processes in plain language is the feature that would actually get me to use this over just running ps. But does the list refresh live? I run agentic workflows overnight that spawn and kill subprocesses constantly. Checking from my phone the next morning, I want current state. If I have to tap refresh every time to see what changed, that breaks the use case.
I was waiting for this kind of product. Thanks for building it. And congrats for the launch.
Nice! I've used several things like this over the years, but this looks like a well thought out combination of previous stabs at discrete aspects of the problem space evolved into the agentic generative AI era. Love the ability to pick from such a wide range of options for its "brain."
Question. What does the relay service layer look like? Are you using a premae service or your own server etc? Did you consider using wifi direct? for local relay. Wifi direct gets around school office lan blockers etc. So it works locally beyond the home wifi etc. Thanks
been wanting this since I keep leaving my Mac running some long job at home and then needing to poke at it from my phone. the "pair over Wi-Fi or use Online Access from anywhere" bit is the part I'd want to understand better before turning it on though - is Online Access relayed through your servers or is it a direct connection to the Mac, and what's actually protecting the trackpad/screen session at that point, just the Apple ID or something separate
