Tap is a command remote for your infrastructure. Pre-configure SSH commands on your servers, then execute them instantly from your Apple Watch, iPhone, or Mac — no terminal needed. How it works: Your Apple Watch connects to a lightweight relay server (self-hosted on your own infrastructure) over TLS 1.3. The relay manages SSH connections to your servers and executes the commands you've configured. Everything stays on your hardware — no cloud services, no third-party access. Built for developers and sysadmins who: • Need to restart a service during dinner • Want server health at a glance on their watch face • Monitor Docker containers from their wrist • Run deploy scripts without opening a laptop • Get push alerts when a server goes down Features: • 5 watch face complications (server status, fleet metrics, Docker, uptime, quick commands) • Apple Sign-In — no passwords to manage • SSH key generation and management • Command execution with real-time output • Execution history with full stdout/stderr • Server health monitoring with push notifications • Self-hosted relay — your data stays on your infrastructure • AES-256-GCM encryption for SSH keys at rest
