Your Mac, phone-shaped.
Remote desktop apps cram your whole desktop onto a tiny phone screen. Peek-a-Mac gives your Mac an iPhone-sized display instead — so what you see on your phone actually fits. See it and control it from anywhere.
Built for the phone in your pocket
A real headless display tuned to your device — paired with a remote-desktop client that feels native to touch.
Phone-shaped display
A real virtual monitor sized to your iPhone or iPad, with crisp Retina HiDPI — so remote apps look right, not shrunk.
Control from anywhere
Connect over cellular by computer name + PIN. No accounts, no port-forwarding — just open it on your phone.
Trackpad that feels right
Accelerated cursor, double-tap, long-press right-click, two-finger scroll with momentum, and pinch-to-zoom on the pointer.
Private by design
End-to-end encrypted WebRTC, self-hosted relay, PIN auth — credentials never leave your Mac's Keychain.
Always on
Reachable after a reboot with nothing to launch. Auto-reconnects, keeps your Mac awake while you're connected.
Non-destructive
Snapshots your monitor layout before it touches anything and restores it exactly when you turn it off.
Up and running in a minute
Install once on your Mac, set a PIN, and open the link on your phone.

Open it on your phone
