Shortcuts and esc key does not work on the remote host

I use esc key a lot when I’m coding and the app just exit when I hit esc. Some productivity shortcuts don’t work, like switching apps on Mac. Other than that the app works great.

未完成

完全クリーンな何も入れていないMac OS Tahoe26.5.1でテスト。iOS側からのログインはできるがキーボードが効かないことがあり、家の環境でもキーボードが効かない場合が発生したので消しました😡

Want to love it

When this app works it’s great! But the connection drops all the time, like if I switch to the Notes app for 15 seconds to check something I’ll have to reconnect to my computer. Sometimes it’ll even force me to log back in to my account. Really frustrating experience for multitasking.

Great way to watch over my AI remotely from my iPhone

Got an old Mac mini running a local AI agent doing some monitoring of websites for me for changes. This tool helps me not have to keep a monitor on and I can peek in and control the Mac mini with my other laptop or even my iphone or iPad. Very cool stuff
