Poket PC: Remote Desktop & AI

Poket PC puts your Mac in your pocket. See its screen live on your Android phone, work it with a trackpad or by touching what you see, type on it, or give the assistant on your Mac a task and let it keep going after you put the phone down. WHAT YOU NEED • A Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later, running the free Poket PC helper from poketpc.com. The helper asks for Accessibility (to move the pointer and type) and Screen Recording (to show the screen) and shows you where to grant them. • A 64-bit Android phone with Android 9 or later. A Windows version of the helper is in development and not available yet. PAIR ONCE On the Mac, click the Poket PC icon in the menu bar and choose Pair New Device. In the app, tap Scan QR code and point the camera at the code. Check that the six-digit code matches the one on the Mac, then confirm. The code is part of the encrypted handshake, so a wrong one fails. From then on, tap your Mac in Hosts to connect: directly when both are on the same Wi-Fi, or through the Poket PC relay when you are away. If the link drops, the app reconnects by itself. No port forwarding, no account. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Remote: watch your Mac's main display live and pinch to zoom in. • Trackpad mode: drag to move the pointer, tap to click, tap with two fingers to right-click, hold then drag to drag, and drag with two fingers to scroll. • Direct touch: tap right where you want to click, hold to right-click. • Keyboard: type into whichever app is in front. A modifier bar adds Shift, Ctrl, Option and Cmd (tap once for the next key, twice to lock), plus Esc, Tab and the arrow keys. A hardware keyboard and mouse work too. • Ask: describe a task in plain words and the assistant carries it out on your Mac. Choose how far it may reach before it starts (Screen, Quiet or Tools), follow each step as it happens, and stop it whenever you like. It keeps working if the phone disconnects. • Agent: see what the assistant remembers and teach it new facts, look back at past tasks and put one back in the composer, and schedule a task to run on the Mac by itself. • Settings: choose which model on your Mac runs future tasks. The assistant runs on your Mac with the model you set up there: your Claude subscription through Claude Code, or a local model in Ollama. You pay that provider directly, or nothing for a local model; Poket PC does not resell model usage. Remote control and the keyboard work without one. Scheduled runs never look at the screen, so they need a model that works without it, such as a local model; the Claude subscription cannot run them. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your screen, keystrokes and tasks are end-to-end encrypted between your phone and your Mac (Noise IK handshake, ChaCha20-Poly1305). • Away from home, the relay that connects you forwards encrypted bytes it cannot read. • The phone's pairing key is locked by a hardware-backed Android Keystore key (in StrongBox when the phone has it) and opens only while the phone is unlocked. • Every paired device is listed on the Mac and can be revoked there, which ends its session at once. • No sign-in, and Poket PC itself sends no usage statistics. The QR scanner uses Google's ML Kit, which sends Google basic diagnostics about the scanner; the privacy policy has the details. FREE Poket PC is free. No ads and no in-app purchases.
