Astropad Workbench: Remote desktop for the AI era, not IT support (astropad.com)
1 point by gdonelli 18 days ago | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments


Since Mac mini sales are surging from the OpenClaw/ AI agent wave, a new pain point has emerged: once your machine's running headless 24/7, you lose visibility. Existing tools like Anthropic's Claude Remote Control are limited to the terminal, and the rest of your desktop is a black box.

Astropad Workbench is a modern remote desktop built specifically for Mac and the new AI age. Now you can babysit your agents from anywhere, without being tethered to your desk:

- Native Mac, iPad, and iPhone apps to remotely control your Mac desktop - Perceptually lossless, low-latency streaming that feels like you're sitting at your machine - Voice input to send text commands directly to your Mac


Seems created for folks who have an Apple device at both ends. And not anyone else.
