## What is Nivlok?

Your agent's working. Why are you stuck at the desk?

You kicked off something long-running on your Mac — a build, a batch job, an AI coding agent you launched yourself. The machine is busy. You don't have to be.

Nivlok turns your iPhone into a remote control for your Mac. Watch the screen live, and the moment your Mac needs the next instruction, deliver it from wherever you are: tap, point, click, type, or dictate your next prompt with voice input. The next word is yours — Nivlok just carries it.

WHAT NIVLOK IS
Nivlok is a screen viewer and input remote. Any AI or automation tools run on your Mac, started and driven by you. Nivlok has no built-in AI and never acts on its own: every click, keystroke, and command comes from your fingers (or your voice) on iPhone.

SEE EVERYTHING, INSTANTLY
- Live view of your Mac screen, streamed over WebRTC for low latency
- Smooth video for fast-scrolling terminals and editors

CONTROL IT YOUR WAY
- Touch gestures mapped to pointer movement and clicks
- Full keyboard input with modifier keys
- Voice input: dictate long prompts instead of thumb-typing them
- Custom shortcuts for the key combos you use all the time
- Saved Macs: reconnect to your machines in seconds

PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE
- Direct device-to-device connection over WebRTC
- No cloud relay — your screen never passes through our servers
- No app account required
- First pairing happens on your own Wi-Fi (same local network)
- Reconnect to Saved Macs when iPhone and Mac are on the same Tailscale tailnet

GETTING STARTED
1. Install the free Nivlok Host app on your Mac
2. Scan the QR code while iPhone and Mac share the same Wi-Fi
3. Done — your Mac is in your pocket

PRICING
Everything is unlocked for 24 hours after your first connection. After that, keep going with Nivlok Pro — a simple monthly or annual subscription. Eligible new subscribers can try either plan free for one month; then the selected plan renews automatically unless canceled. No tiers, no add-ons.

REQUIREMENTS
- A Mac running the free Nivlok Host app (Windows and Linux are not supported)
- Same local network for first pairing; the same Tailscale tailnet for later reconnects

Your Mac keeps working. So can you — from the sofa, the balcony, or the coffee shop downstairs. When it's time for the next instruction, you're already there.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-28

Clicks now reach the exact Mac window you selected, even when another app or window is covering it. Nivlok re-establishes focus before sending input, preventing missed clicks and accidental input elsewhere.

Fixed
• Window selection now stays attached to the correct window instead of shifting to a neighboring row.
• The window picker is easier to navigate with VoiceOver and remains fully visible.
• Remote mouse, keyboard, and scroll input stays targeted during slower macOS app activation.
