Why LANConsole
Made for the way you actually work
No daemons to install. No extra cloud accounts. No new chair to sit in. Just your iPhone, your Mac, and the same Wi-Fi you already have.
Nothing to install on your Mac
No helper app. No background agent. No companion daemon. LANConsole talks to the same Screen Sharing and Remote Login services Apple ships in every macOS — just flip two toggles in System Settings and you're done.
- ✓ Uses macOS built-in Screen Sharing (VNC)
- ✓ Uses macOS built-in Remote Login (SSH)
- ✓ One-time setup, ~2 minutes
- ✓ Uninstall the iOS app — your Mac is unchanged
Watch your AI agent from the couch
Kicked off a long AI coding agent task? Don't sit at your desk staring at a progress bar. See exactly what your agent is doing, scrub the terminal, accept the next step — all from the sofa, the bed, or the kitchen island.
- ✓ Live mirror of the AI's terminal output
- ✓ Tap to approve / continue / interrupt
- ✓ Get notified when a long task completes
- ✓ Open the same editor / terminal window remotely
Don't leave AI quota on the table
Paying for an AI assistant subscription and only using it 8 hours a day at your desk? Pick up where you left off from anywhere in the house. The same logged-in session, the same context window, the same project — driven from your phone.
- ✓ Use the chair you actually want to sit in
- ✓ Same logged-in session, no re-auth
- ✓ Type via on-screen or Bluetooth keyboard
- ✓ Get more from a subscription you already pay for

Remote Screen
VNC Remote Control, reimagined for touch
Every gesture, every keystroke, every modifier key — mapped perfectly to your iPhone and iPad screen.
Everything you need to work remotely
- ✓ Touch input — tap = click, 2-finger tap = right-click, long-press = drag, pinch = zoom
- ✓ Trackpad mode — relative cursor control for pixel-precise navigation
- ✓ Physical Bluetooth keyboard passthrough — type on your iPad keyboard, input goes straight to your Mac
- ✓ Keyboard toolbar — Esc, Tab, F1–F12, ⌘⌃⌥⇧ modifier toggles, and system shortcuts at your fingertips
- ✓ Bidirectional clipboard sync — copy on Mac, paste on iPhone, and vice versa, seamlessly
- ✓ Clipboard history panel — quickly access the last 5 clipboard items without re-copying
- ✓ Macro recorder — record key sequences and replay them with one tap for repetitive tasks
- ✓ Screenshot & video recording — capture what's on your Mac screen directly from the app
- ✓ Connection quality indicator — live FPS display so you always know how smooth the stream is
- ✓ Auto-reconnect with exponential back-off — drops are handled gracefully; reconnects automatically without losing context
- ✓ Persistent live sessions — navigate back to the machine list and return to your exact VNC stream, already connected. Green dot badges show which machines are live.

LANConsole's VNC client is purpose-built for iOS, not ported from a desktop app. Every interaction has been rethought for a touch screen — gestures feel natural, the keyboard toolbar puts modifier keys a thumb-stretch away, and the trackpad mode gives you the precision you need for design work or coding.
The live FPS counter and auto-reconnect engine mean you can walk away from your desk mid-session and the connection will silently recover the moment you're back in range. No tapping, no re-entering credentials.
Macro recording turns repetitive keyboard sequences into single taps — perfect for build triggers, test runners, or any workflow you repeat dozens of times a day.

Privacy & Security
Built private from the ground up
Your screen, your keystrokes, your files — none of it touches a server we control. Or anyone else's.
Zero Cloud Relay
Your screen pixels and keystrokes travel exclusively over your home or office router. No Anthropic, no third-party relay, no middleman. Traffic never leaves your LAN.
Keychain Storage
Passwords and SSH private keys are stored in the iOS Keychain, backed by the Secure Enclave. They are never written to iCloud backups or app storage in plain text.
Biometric Lock
Face ID and Touch ID gate access at launch. A configurable 60-second auto-lock re-enables biometric authentication whenever you put the app in the background.
