💻 Macbook-controller - Secure Remote Mac Control

🔐 What is Macbook-controller?

Macbook-controller lets you control your Mac remotely using your iPhone. It creates a secure connection between both devices. The data sent between your iPhone and Mac uses end-to-end encryption. This keeps your control sessions private and safe.

The app runs natively on iOS and macOS. You get fast, smooth responses and real-time control. Use it to open apps, adjust settings, or manage files on your Mac, all from your phone.

• Internet connection needed for remote control over the internet
• Sufficient storage space (less than 50 MB per app)

Your Mac should not be in sleep mode or powered off. The app requires access to your network and some system services to work correctly.
