Put your dev environment in your pocket with PocketCorder. Control your Mac from your iPhone or iPad with low latency and high efficiency. Perfect for developers who need to check processes or run commands anywhere—from bed to a cafe. Features include secure Cloudflare Tunnel access, one-tap command shortcuts, and a focused App Mode. Setup is instant via QR code; no complex VPNs needed. Download the free Mac companion app to get started.
This solves a real pain point for remote dev work. I've been there—needing to tweak code while away from desk, and SSH/VNC feels like overkill for quick changes.
The smartphone control interface looks clean. Curious about latency—when you're running distributed systems or agent architectures that need real-time monitoring, even 200ms delay can break flow state. What's the typical response time over WiFi vs cellular?
Also, how are you handling secure authentication? For developers running production systems, any remote access tool needs bulletproof security. Excited to see more Mac automation tools built for the mobile-first workflow!

@epochcore Latency:
On same-network WiFi: typically 50-150ms. Over Cloudflare tunnel + cellular: 200-400ms depending on signal. We support up to 60fps with adjustable quality settings.
For distributed systems monitoring, the current latency is good for log tailing, dashboard watching, and status checks. For rapid keyboard input during live debugging, you might notice slight lag over cellular—but it's usable.
Security:
Authentication uses 256-bit cryptographically random tokens. Pairing requires physical QR code scan (proximity-based). All traffic over Cloudflare tunnel is WSS/HTTPS encrypted.
That said, this is designed as a dev productivity tool, not enterprise-grade remote access. For production systems, I'd recommend using it alongside your existing security practices (VPN, etc.) rather than as a replacement.
Happy to discuss specific security requirements if you have a use case in mind! 🔐
Super cool app. Not sure it's worth $100
