Clamshell goes to iPhone and iPad! This is an iOS version of the Clamshell app. It provides monitoring states of all your Macs from your iPhones and iPads that are signed in to the same iCloud account. Clamshell now supports sharing the laptop lid statuses and system statuses (Awake, Sleeping, Logging out, Restarting, Shutting down, Restarted, Shut Down, User Logged Out, App Terminated). More statuses will come in the year. No data is shared with third-party providers. Clamshell is not using any external servers but only Apple's iCloud servers. You're in full control of your data!
