When you'd reach for it

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

01Screen mirroring

Crystal-clear screen mirroring.

On your own Wi-Fi, Servey streams your Mac at high quality: text stays sharp, movement stays smooth, and there is no noticeable lag. Pinch to zoom in and read the smallest detail.

  • Text you can actually read
  • Pinch to zoom into any detail
  • Your whole screen, never cropped

02Input

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.

  • An on-screen trackpad built for fingers
  • Left click, right click, drag and scroll
  • Copy, paste, Esc and Tab

03Terminal

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.

  • A real shell, not a web console
  • Works at home and away
  • Built in, no second app

04Sessions

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, or from two devices at once - and if you ever stop using Servey, the same session is still there in the Mac's own Terminal.

  • Named sessions that outlive the app
  • Drop off, come back, still there
  • Resume on Mac, iPad, or plain Terminal

05Networking

Two paths, zero thought.

On the same Wi-Fi, Servey connects straight to your Mac with nothing in the middle. Somewhere else, it makes a private connection between your two devices. It picks whichever works on its own, and if you walk out of the door and drop onto mobile data mid-session it reconnects instead of dropping you.

  • At home: a direct connection
  • Away: encrypted, device to device
  • Works on strict mobile networks
  • Survives switching to mobile data
Same Wi-Fi - direct and sharp
Your Mac
iPhone / iPad

Direct connection · no cloud in the middle

Anywhere - private and encrypted
Your Mac
Handshake only
iPhone / iPad

End-to-end encrypted · direct between your devices whenever your network allows it

06Privacy

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 goes straight between your two devices, encrypted the whole way. When a network refuses to allow that, it goes through our own server rather than a third party's.

  • A master password, set on your Mac
  • Every new device approved by you
  • Direct when it can, our own server if not

End-to-end encrypted. Account-scoped. Peer-to-peer.

  • A master password, set on your Mac
  • Every new device approved by you
  • Direct when it can, our own server if not
07Quality

Adaptive quality, full frame.

Servey keeps adjusting to whatever connection you are on, so the picture stays smooth on a weak signal without ever cropping your screen or squashing it out of shape.

  • Adjusts to your connection
  • Never crops your screen
  • Smooth on a weak signal

The couch, the café, the departure gate - your whole desktop and a real terminal, still running, wherever you happen to be.

How it works

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.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

Compare

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.

Reading your screen

Traditional

Soft, blurry text you end up squinting at

Servey

Sharp enough to read, and you can pinch to zoom in

Getting set up

Traditional

Set up a VPN, forward ports, or make a vendor account

Servey

Sign in with Google on both devices. Nothing to change on your router.

Who sees your screen

Traditional

Your video usually travels through the vendor's servers

Servey

Straight between your own devices. If your network blocks that, through our server, not someone else's.

Getting to a command line

Traditional

A separate app, or not possible at all

Servey

A real terminal, one tap from the screen

Leaving mid-job

Traditional

Close the app and whatever you started stops with it

Servey

Your work keeps running on the Mac. Come back later and pick it up.

Using it on a phone

Traditional

A desktop mouse pointer squeezed onto a touchscreen

Servey

A trackpad and keyboard designed for fingers

Trying it

Traditional

A countdown trial, or a free plan that accuses you of business use

Servey

Free: three five-minute sessions a day, no card

Comparison reflects Servey’s architecture and typical traditional remote-desktop tools (VNC/RDP, TeamViewer). No benchmark numbers are claimed.
