Really Remote puts your Mac's terminal, and the coding agents running in it, in your pocket and on your wrist. Connect over your own network (Wi-Fi, VPN, or SSH tunnel) and keep working from anywhere: send commands, watch output stream live, and know the moment your agent finishes or needs your input. • Live status, see at a glance whether your agent is working or ready • Apple Watch app, a glance of your session on your wrist, and a buzz when it's your turn, even while your phone is locked • Reply from anywhere, special-key rows, a full keyboard, or a quick tap to answer • Multiple sessions, jump between tmux sessions on your Mac • Private by design, connects only over your own network; no public servers Requires the free Mac Relay Server on your Mac (download from our website). https://particlewaves.org/really-remote/
