## What is MacBeam?

MacBeam turns your iPhone or iPad into a remote control for your own Mac.

  Same Wi-Fi, or any VPN like Tailscale — see your Mac's full screen at 60fps, type with the real keyboard,
  hear system sound, all from your couch, your bed, or the café down the street. No accounts. No cloud servers.
   Direct peer-to-peer over TLS.
  
  WHAT'S INSIDE
  • 60fps low-latency screen mirroring (hardware H.264)
  • Trackpad gestures — 1-finger move + tap (left click), 2-finger tap (right click), 2-finger scroll, pinch to
   zoom
  • Double-tap & hold = drag (with haptic feedback)
  • Full Korean / English / Emoji input via direct IME sync
  • Mac shortcuts — ⌘ ⌥ ⌃ ⇧ all sticky-modifier capable
  • System audio streamed — Mac speakers auto-muted during session, auto-restored on disconnect
  • Customizable shortcut palette (10 of your favorite Cmd+key combos, one tap away)
  • Screen zoom — pinch in for precise pixel clicks
  • Adaptive video quality — drops fps/bitrate automatically on weak Wi-Fi, restores when stable
  
  SECURITY
  • First pairing via 6-digit PIN over TLS 1.2+
  • Certificate pinning (TOFU) — auto-blocks man-in-the-middle attempts
  • 32-byte pre-shared key + HMAC-SHA256 message integrity
  • Mac server stores PSK in macOS Keychain, all binaries codesigned with hardened runtime
  
  REQUIREMENTS
  • iPhone iOS 17+ / iPad iPadOS 17+ (portrait & landscape)
  • Mac server (free, separate download): macOS 14 Sonoma or later
  • Same Wi-Fi, or both devices on the same VPN (Tailscale, WireGuard, ZeroTier)
  
  PRICING
  • First 8 hours after install — completely ad-free
  • Watch one ad = +4 hours ad-free (caps at 24 hours)
  • Monthly subscription: ₩1,900/month — no ads while subscribed
