Remote Gaze puts your whole Mac on your iPad or iPhone at Retina resolution, up to 120fps, with touch, trackpad, keyboard and Apple Pencil. Nothing passes through anyone else's server: devices connect directly, end to end encrypted, with per-device keys in the Secure Enclave and Face ID gating. Gaze Host, the free Mac companion, gives a headless Mac mini a display of its own.
Hey, I'm Shannon. I built Remote Gaze because I wanted my Mac mini to be usable from anywhere without a display, and without routing my screen through someone else's cloud. So there is no cloud: your iPad and your Mac talk directly to each other, every connection is encrypted end to end, and away-from-home access expires unless you reconnect at home. It's $4.99, one time, live in the App Store now. Happy to answer questions about the streaming and pairing tech.
Remote Gaze is very well built! I've never used a remote control app that's so easy to setup. I was stunned to see that the streaming delay is near zero too. And it's cheap! You have me feeling thoroughly amazed.
Interesting, we need more options for this! Does it do resolution change to match the client device, even if a monitor is connected to the Mac?
The headless Mac mini use case makes a lot of sense. Nice to have an option built around that. Congrats, Shannon!
