Remote development, Reimagined
Your AI Agent, Always Within Reach.
Run your AI agent from your phone. Terminal, git, and previews — all native, all powered by your Mac.
Remote desktop on a phone is unusable. SSH gives you a terminal and nothing else. Cloud IDEs disconnect you from your machine.
Reach takes a different approach.
Your Mac in your pocket.
Mobile-native. Your stack. Not a compromise.
Agent
Use Cursor or Claude on the go.
Restructuring auth into middleware pattern with automatic token refresh...
Terminal
Real PTY sessions. Mobile keyboard. Persistent state.
→ $ npm run dev
▸ Next.js 16.1.6
▸ Ready on localhost:3000
▸ Compiled in 240ms
▊Git
Stage, diff, commit — designed for touch.
Preview
Your Mac's localhost, tunneled to your phone.

FAQ
Common questions, straight answers.
Safety, privacy, pricing, and what you actually get.
Is it safe to install Reach Server on my Mac?
Yes. Reach Server is a lightweight macOS menu bar app that connects only your paired iPhone to your Mac. It is not a cloud IDE, a screen-sharing daemon, or a public server. Your phone pairs once with a 6-digit code, and future sessions use mutual TLS with pinned certificates so only your trusted devices can connect.
Does my source code leave my Mac?
No. Your repositories, terminal sessions, git history, file contents, and local development servers stay on your Mac. Reach gives your iPhone a native control surface for the machine you already use. The Mac remains the source of truth.
Can Reach’s relay read my terminal, code, or browser traffic?
No. When you use Reach away from home, the relay forwards encrypted bytes between your iPhone and Mac. It cannot decrypt, inspect, or store your session contents. The relay exists so your devices can reach each other across cellular, public Wi-Fi, NAT, and changing networks.
Do I need to open ports or change my router?
No. Reach is designed to work without port forwarding, firewall rules, or exposing your Mac directly to the internet. On the same network, it uses local discovery. Away from home, it uses the encrypted relay.
What permissions does Reach need?
Reach needs the permissions required to do the work you ask it to do: terminal sessions, git operations, browser previews, and agent workflows on your Mac. It runs with your Mac user context, not with special cloud-side access to your machine. You stay in control because the work happens on your own Mac.
What data does Reach collect?
Reach does not collect your source code, terminal output, command history, file contents, git history, or localhost browsing activity. The product uses anonymous analytics to understand feature usage, crash reporting to keep the apps stable, and optional bug reports only when you choose to submit them. Analytics can be disabled in settings.
Why not just use SSH, Tailscale, or remote desktop?
Those tools solve the connection problem. Reach solves the mobile development workflow. You get a native iPhone interface for terminal, git, localhost previews, and AI agent control without pinching around a desktop UI or stitching together multiple tools. It is built for the moments when you have your phone, a few minutes, and something worth shipping.
What can I actually do from my phone?
You can resume terminal sessions, inspect and commit changes, open local previews with HMR, and steer Cursor or Claude running on your Mac. Reach is not meant to replace your desk setup. It is meant to keep momentum when you are away from it.
How much does it cost?
Reach is free on your local network. You can try terminal, git, browser, and agent workflows on the same Wi-Fi without paying. Remote access from any network is Reach Remote: $5.99/month or $49.99/year, with a 7-day free trial. Same product, any network.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep the free LAN experience. Remote relay access ends when the subscription lapses, but your code, repos, terminal history, and development environment were never stored by Reach, so there is nothing to export or migrate.
Is this useful if I already use Cursor or Claude Code?
Yes. Reach is designed to bring those tools with you. Cursor or Claude still run on your Mac, with your repo, environment, credentials, and local context. Reach gives you the mobile command center to supervise and act from anywhere.
Who is Reach for?
Reach is for developers who build on the move. Who do precision work from their own machine and hate losing momentum when they leave the desk. If your stack already lives on your Mac, Reach makes that stack available from your pocket.
