# Macky > Connect to Mac Terminal from iPhone. A secure, real-time mobile terminal client. Macky lets you access and control your Mac's terminal from your iPhone over an end-to-end encrypted WebRTC connection. It supports native shell (Zsh, Bash), Claude Code (Anthropic), and Codex (OpenAI) — all from your phone. Built by Velosify Private Limited. Website: https://macky.dev Support: support@macky.dev --- ## How It Works Macky consists of two components: - **Host (macOS app):** Runs on your Mac (requires macOS 15+). It launches a lightweight background process that listens for authenticated connections from your iPhone. - **Remote (iPhone app):** Runs on your iPhone (requires iOS 18+). Connects to your Mac host over a peer-to-peer WebRTC tunnel to give you a full terminal session on your phone. Once connected, your iPhone acts as a remote terminal — you can run shell commands, interact with AI coding agents, and manage your development environment from anywhere. ## Supported Environments - **Native Shell:** Full Zsh and Bash support with your existing shell configuration. - **Claude Code:** Run Anthropic's Claude Code AI coding agent directly from your iPhone terminal. - **Codex:** Run OpenAI's Codex AI coding agent directly from your iPhone terminal. ## Security Architecture Macky uses a defense-in-depth security model: 1. **E2E Encrypted Transport (WebRTC):** All terminal data is tunneled through DTLS-SRTP encrypted WebRTC connections. Data is invisible to the network and to Macky's servers. 2. **Dual Layer Identity Verification:** Signaling validates identity tokens for access, but a separate Master Password protects the terminal itself. Even if your account is compromised, the terminal remains locked. 3. **Device Allow Listing:** The Mac host must explicitly approve each unique device ID before a connection is permitted. 4. **Blind Signaling:** Macky's server coordinates the WebRTC handshake only. Terminal data (commands, output) never touches Macky's cloud infrastructure. ## Pricing ### Basic Plan — Free Forever - Max 5 min session length - 1 Mac host - 1 iPhone remote ### Pro Plan — $29 Lifetime (One-Time Payment) - Unlimited session length - Unlimited devices - 30-day connection logs - Background connect ## Download - **macOS Host:** Download the .DMG installer from https://macswift.macky.dev/Macky.dmg (requires macOS 15+) - **iPhone Remote:** Available on the App Store (requires iOS 18+) ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Macky? Macky is a secure mobile terminal client that lets you connect to and control your Mac's terminal from your iPhone using end-to-end encrypted WebRTC. ### How does Macky connect my iPhone to my Mac? Macky uses peer-to-peer WebRTC with DTLS-SRTP encryption. A signaling server coordinates the initial handshake, but all terminal data flows directly between your devices without passing through any cloud server. ### Is Macky secure? Yes. Macky uses four layers of security: E2E encrypted WebRTC transport, dual-layer identity verification (account + master password), device allow-listing, and blind signaling (terminal data never touches Macky's servers). ### Does Macky log my terminal commands? No. Macky has a zero-logs policy. Terminal commands and output are never recorded, stored, or accessible by Macky's servers. All data is end-to-end encrypted between your devices. ### What AI tools does Macky support? Macky supports Claude Code (by Anthropic) and Codex (by OpenAI) in addition to native Zsh and Bash shells. ### What are the system requirements? The Mac host app requires macOS 15 or later. The iPhone remote app requires iOS 18 or later. ### How much does Macky cost? Macky offers a free Basic plan (5-minute sessions, 1 Mac, 1 iPhone) and a Pro plan for a one-time payment of $29 (unlimited sessions, unlimited devices, connection logs, background connect). ### Who makes Macky? Macky is built by Velosify Private Limited, based in Tamil Nadu, India. --- ## Privacy Policy Effective Date: 28th May 2025 Velosify Private Limited ("Company," "We," "Us," or "Our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. ### Information We Collect We prioritize privacy by design.

Payment information processed by Apple App Store (we do not store credit card details). **Usage and Device Data:** Device model, OS version, unique device identifiers. App usage statistics via Mixpanel. Crash reports and performance logs. **Connection Data (Signaling):** Limited technical data (IP addresses, ICE candidates) exchanged through signaling servers to establish peer-to-peer connections. This data is ephemeral and not stored permanently. ### Zero Logs Policy - No Command Logging: We do not record, store, or have access to terminal commands or output. - Direct Encryption: All data between Host (Mac) and Remote (iPhone) is end-to-end encrypted using WebRTC, DTLS/SRTP. ### Data Sharing We do not sell personal data. We may share with: trusted service providers (Firebase, Mixpanel), legal requirements, or business transfers.
