ServeyYour Mac.
Wherever you are.
Leave the Mac where it lives. Its screen and a real terminal come with you on your iPhone or iPad - and the work you start on it keeps running after you close the app.
- Crystal-clear HEVC
- Real terminal
- Private P2P
- Works anywhere
Your Mac is somewhere. You are somewhere else.
That gap is the whole product. Here is what it looks like on an ordinary day.
The MacBook is upstairs and you are on the couch.
Open it on the iPad without getting up. The same desktop, the same apps, already signed in to everything.
The Mac mini is at home and you are at a cafe.
It has no monitor and does not need one. It sits on a shelf doing its job, and you reach it anyway.
A build was running when you had to leave.
It kept going without you. Rejoin the same session and read the log from exactly where it got to.
Your coding agent has stopped to ask a question.
Answer it from your phone and let the agent carry on, instead of losing the forty minutes it was mid-way through.
The file is on your Mac, not in a cloud folder.
Go and get it. Open the app that made it, export what you need, and send it on from there.
You are travelling and need one Mac-only app.
Xcode, Logic, Final Cut. Use the real one on the real machine rather than hunting for a substitute.
What Servey does
Crystal-clear screen mirroring.
On your network, Servey streams a custom hardware-HEVC feed of your Mac - razor-sharp text at a high frame rate with minimal latency. Pinch to zoom in and inspect the smallest detail.
- Full-HD+, aspect-correct
- Hardware HEVC via VideoToolbox
- Pinch-to-zoom inspection
Real mouse, keyboard & trackpad.
A purpose-built on-screen trackpad reaches every edge of your screen, with left/right click and a scroll control. The full keyboard is here too - including ⌘C, ⌘V, Esc, Tab, Return and Backspace.
- Relative-move virtual trackpad
- L/R click, drag & scroll
- Shortcuts: ⌘C · ⌘V · Esc · Tab
A real terminal, in your pocket.
Not a toy - a genuine shell on your Mac, available over either connection path. Fix a build from the couch, tail a log on the train, or drive a headless Mac Mini from anywhere. And what you start does not stop when you put the phone down.
- Full shell access
- Works on LAN and remote
- Native, not a web console
Your work keeps running.
Every terminal session is a named session that lives on the Mac, not inside the app. Start a long build from the iPad, close Servey, lose signal, get on a plane - it is still going when you come back. Pick it up from the iPad, from the Mac, from a second device at the same time, or from a plain Terminal window with tmux attach and no Servey involved at all.
- Named sessions that outlive the app
- Drop off, come back, still there
- Resume on Mac, iPad, or plain Terminal
Two paths, zero thought.
Same Wi-Fi? Servey uses a direct hardware-HEVC stream - no cloud in the middle. Different networks? It falls back to a private peer-to-peer WebRTC connection. It switches automatically, and if you walk out of the door and drop onto cellular mid-session it renegotiates the connection instead of dropping you.
- LAN: direct hardware HEVC
- Remote: P2P WebRTC (H.264)
- STUN/TURN traversal, even on CGNAT
- Survives a Wi-Fi to cellular handover
Direct connection · no cloud in the middle
End-to-end encrypted · direct between your devices whenever your network allows it
Two locks, not one.
Sign in with Google on both devices, then set a master password on your Mac that every device has to produce before it can connect. New devices wait for you to approve them on the Mac itself, and you can revoke any of them at any time. Your screen video travels peer-to-peer and end-to-end encrypted; when a network refuses to allow that, it relays through our own server rather than a third party's cloud.
- A master password, set on your Mac
- Every new device approved by you
- P2P first, our own relay if your network insists
End-to-end encrypted. Account-scoped. Peer-to-peer.
- A master password, set on your Mac
- Every new device approved by you
- P2P first, our own relay - never a vendor's
Adaptive quality, full frame.
Servey continuously tunes resolution and bitrate to the live network path - direct or relayed - so the picture stays smooth without ever cropping or degrading your screen.
- Path-aware bitrate
- No cropping, ever
- Smooth on weak connections
The couch, the café, the departure gate - your whole desktop and a real terminal, still running, wherever you happen to be.
Built for the moment you are not at your desk.
Different jobs, the same gap: your Mac is somewhere else, and the thing you need is on it.
Developers
A build is running on the Mac at your desk, and you are not at your desk.
Tail the log, restart the job, or open a simulator from your phone - in your real environment, with your toolchain and credentials already in place.
For developersAnyone running AI agents
Your coding agent has been working for forty minutes and has stopped to ask a yes-or-no question.
See what it is doing, answer the prompt, and let it carry on - without walking back to the desk to press one key.
For AI agentsHeadless Mac and home lab owners
The Mac mini has no monitor, no keyboard, and lives on a shelf behind the router.
Its screen and its shell on your iPad, through the login screen and back after a reboot, with nothing exposed to the internet. A MacBook counts too - Servey can drive one with the lid shut, no dummy HDMI plug required.
Headless Mac miniEveryone else with a Mac
The file, the screenshot, the one click you need is on a Mac you left at home.
Your whole desktop on your iPhone, aspect-correct and sharp enough to actually read - so you just do it and move on.
Control Mac from iPhone
Up and running in three steps.
No VPN. No port forwarding. No vendor accounts to manage. Nothing exposed to the internet, and nothing to configure on your router.
Sign in, then set a master password
Install Servey on your Mac and your iPhone or iPad and sign in with Google on each. On the Mac you then set a master password. Every device has to produce it before it can connect, and there is deliberately no way to skip it.
Grant two permissions, go online
macOS asks for Screen Recording and Accessibility, because mirroring your screen and moving your cursor are exactly what those two govern. Switch your Mac online and it is reachable by your own devices - still no VPN, no port forwarding, no static IP.
Approve the device, then connect
Your Mac appears on your iPhone or iPad by itself. The first time a new device asks, you approve it on the Mac. After that, tap to open a live window and take the screen or the terminal - Servey picks the best path for you.
The Servey host on your Mac. Permissions granted, one button from going online - and private until you press it.
Servey vs. traditional remote tools.
Most remote-desktop apps are cross-platform ports with the Mac experience bolted on. Servey was built the other way around.
Build
Cross-platform Electron/Java ports, generic UI
Native Swift/SwiftUI, Apple-first, designed for touch
Local quality
Software-encoded, soft text, laggy
Hardware HEVC on LAN - crystal-clear, native decode
Networking
Manual VPN / port forwarding / vendor accounts
Auto LAN-or-remote; same-account pairing; zero setup
Privacy
Video often relayed through a vendor cloud
P2P first; when your network won't allow it, our own relay - not a vendor's cloud
Terminal
Add-on or absent
Real terminal built in, over both paths
Persistence
Close the client and the session dies with it
Named sessions keep running on the Mac; reattach from any device
Touch UX
Desktop cursor bolted onto a phone
Purpose-built virtual trackpad, dock, pinch-zoom
Adaptivity
Fixed or clumsy quality
Path-aware adaptive quality, no cropping
Cost to try
Countdown trial, or a free tier that polices commercial use
Free tier, no card: five-minute sessions, three a day
