Your desktop,
wherever you are.
See and control your Mac from your iPhone or iPad. Fast and sharp at home, and wherever a direct connection works, with nothing to set up.
No account. No port forwarding. No monthly fees. No AI, no tracking.
Your computer, in your pocket.
Deskalong streams your Mac's screen to your phone with the Mac's own hardware, and sends your touches, typing and scrolling straight back.
Fast and sharp
Hardware video that adapts to your connection, and sharpens text the moment the screen stops moving.
From anywhere
At home and wherever a direct connection works, Deskalong connects straight to your Mac, with no VPN to install. On a network that blocks that, Pro carries the session through our encrypted relay.
Feels like a trackpad
Natural gestures, zoom, and a full keyboard with ⌘ shortcuts. With Pro on iPad, your trackpad, mouse and keyboard drive the Mac directly.
Sound and clipboard
Hear your Mac on your phone. Copy on one, paste on the other. Items your computer's password manager marks private are never shared automatically.
Files, both ways Pro
Send a photo to your Mac's Downloads, or a document from your Mac to the Files app. Each file is checked so it arrives intact.
Every display Pro
Switch between monitors, bring any window to you, and on a foldable iPhone, put a display each side of the fold.
Set up in a minute.
Once, on each Mac. After that, your Mac is a tap away.

Questions
What do I need?
A Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 14.5 or later, and an iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 17.5 or later.
Is it private and secure?
Your screen goes only between your own devices, encrypted end to end (TLS 1.3). Each phone is paired once with a code shown on your Mac, and only paired phones can connect. There's no account, no analytics and no AI. When a direct connection isn't possible, Pro's relay passes the encrypted data along without being able to read it. Privacy policy.
Do I need a VPN or router settings?
No. Deskalong finds a direct way through on its own, on Wi-Fi or cellular. On the occasional network that blocks a direct connection, Deskalong Pro connects through our relay instead.
Does it work with Intel Macs?
Not yet. Deskalong Host needs a Mac with Apple silicon.
Can I use it with more than one computer?
Yes, with Deskalong Pro. The free app works with one computer; Pro works with every computer you own. Pair each one once and they all appear on your home screen.
Does it work with Windows?
Coming soon. Deskalong Host for Windows PCs is on its way, as part of Pro.
