Macky is a secure mobile client that lets you connect to your Mac's screen and terminal from your iPhone using end-to-end encrypted WebRTC. It supports native shell (Zsh, Bash), Claude Code by Anthropic, Codex by OpenAI, and full remote desktop.

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 screen and terminal data flows directly between your devices without passing through any cloud server.

Yes. Macky uses four layers of security: E2E encrypted WebRTC transport, dual-layer identity verification (account tokens plus a master password), device allow-listing, and blind signaling where screen and terminal data never touches Macky's servers.

Does Macky log my terminal commands?

No. Macky has a zero-logs policy. Terminal commands, output, and screen data 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 and full remote desktop, all accessible from your iPhone.

What are the system requirements for Macky?

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 with 5-minute sessions, 1 Mac host, and 1 iPhone remote. The Pro plan costs $29 as a one-time lifetime payment and includes unlimited sessions, unlimited devices, 30-day connection logs, and background connect.

Is there an official MobaXterm for Mac?

No. MobaXterm is developed strictly for Windows and has no native macOS version. Native macOS alternatives like Macky, Royal TSX, and Core Shell provide modern terminal and remote access without Windows emulation.

Can I run MobaXterm on Mac using Wine or CrossOver?

Technically yes, but it is unstable on Apple Silicon Macs. MobaXterm relies on Windows X11 servers and Cygwin internals that cause graphical artifacts, lag, and keyboard shortcut conflicts under translation.

What is the best all-in-one terminal and remote desktop tool on macOS?

For combined interactive shell access and graphical desktop control, Macky provides a native interactive terminal alongside 60fps WebRTC remote desktop without requiring open ports or recurring subscriptions.
