Macky is a secure, real-time mobile terminal client designed to provide remote access and control of your Mac's terminal directly from your iPhone. It enables users to interact with their macOS command line interface while on the go, offering a seamless connection experience.
The product supports native shell environments including Zsh and Bash, allowing users to run standard terminal commands. It also integrates Claude Code, powered by Anthropic, and Codex, powered by OpenAI, providing AI-assisted coding capabilities directly from the mobile interface. These features are accessible through a secure connection that maintains terminal functionality.
Macky operates using end-to-end encrypted WebRTC technology for data transport, ensuring that terminal data remains invisible to the network. The system employs DTLS-SRTP tunneling to protect all communications between the iPhone and Mac. The connection process involves a dual-layer identity verification system where signaling validates identity tokens for access, while a Master Password provides additional terminal protection.
The security architecture includes device allow listing, requiring the host Mac to explicitly approve each unique device ID before allowing connections. The system uses blind signaling where the server only coordinates the handshake process, ensuring that terminal data never touches the cloud infrastructure. This approach prevents unauthorized access even if user accounts are compromised.
Macky targets developers and technical users who need remote access to their Mac terminal from mobile devices. The product requires macOS 15+ for the host machine and iOS 18+ for the iPhone remote client, with installation available through downloadable DMG files for Mac and the App Store for iOS devices.
