Your screen data and keystrokes are transmitted directly between your devices, while the server is only used for <strong>signaling/discovery</strong>.</p> <p>The shared signaling server currently runs on free hosting, but you can also <strong>self-host it with a single command</strong>.</p> <h3> What's next </h3> <ul> <li>🖥️ Remote terminal</li> <li>📋 Clipboard sync</li> <li>🎙️ Voice input</li> <li>🔐 More improvements around security &amp; reliability</li> </ul> <p>It's still an early project, and I'd love feedback from developers who work with <strong>Swift, React Native, WebRTC, macOS or iOS</strong>.</p> <p>If you find it useful, ⭐ the repo, try it out, open an issue, or contribute!</p> <p>🌐 <strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://remotemac-app.vercel.app/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://remotemac-app.vercel.app/</a><br> ⭐ <strong>GitHub:</strong> <a href="https://github.com/lavnyasharma/remotemac" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/lavnyasharma/remotemac</a></p> <h1> OpenSource #WebRTC #macOS #iOS #Swift #ReactNative #BuildInPublic #DeveloperTools </h1> productivity opensource ios swift
