My MacBook Pro is closed, but I'm controlling it from my iPad. Demo 👇

The iPad is my favorite way to remote into a Mac. • Magic Keyboard just works • Unified display matches the iPad screen • Apple Pencil for precise clicks and Pencil-native drawing Cramped VNC viewer this is not. Here's a short demo:

Do you need a HDMI dummy plug for your headless Mac Mini? No. Here's why and what to do instead:

I've been running my Mac mini headless as an always-on AI agent host for months. Here's my full setup video (3min) covering: • FileVault auto-login • Sleep settings • Remote access • Reaching it from anywhere (yes, even from your phone)

Running a Mac mini for AI agents? Our setup guide covers: System settings for a truly headless setup (FileVault, sleep, auto-login); Quirks to watch out for (spoiler: dummy plugs are mostly a thing of the past); and how to connect over remote desktop apps, SSH, VPNs, and more.

Workbench 1.2 just shipped - Remote desktop for your headless Mac from iPhone or iPad. New stuff: - Full Screen Unified Display on Mac - Speech-to-text for non-English languages - App stays connected in the background - Improved zooming on iPad/iPhone - Improved Intel Mac support - Login stability fixes everywhere - Option to hide the dock icon Stick around to the end of the video for a little surprise 😗

The iPad's external display support is underrated. I connected my iPad to a Studio Display and ran Workbench. Now my headless Mac mini (back in Minneapolis) is running full-screen on a 27" display in Ohio. Remote Mac on a Studio Display through an iPad. Pretty wild. 🤯

Workbench is live on @ProductHunt today! 🚀 Remote desktop for the AI era. Not IT support. Built by ex-Apple engineers for devs running agents on headless Macs. producthunt.com/products/wor…

Xcode on my iPad. Yes, really. Headless Mac mini running Xcode in the corner. The AI writes code, I check the simulator from my iPad through Workbench whenever I want. Demo 👇

Yesterday: iPad demo Today: iPhone demo Same headless Mac mini setup, but now you can manage AI agents from your pocket. Here’s a quick demo of how I remotely connect from anywhere with my iPhone to monitor what’s happening, and take over when needed

Workbench is by far the easiest, most stress free way to gain remote access to a Mac from another device. Period. I've tried a range of different Remote Desktop apps over the past few months, mainly because I love working on my iPad but need access to apps and services I can only access on my Mac. I've tried Screens 5 and Jump Desktop in combination with BetterDisplay to try and match the iPad's resolution. They all kinda worked but each had their own kinks. Workbench setup on the other hand was seamless... almost native.

Headless Mac mini iPad is a very good combo for managing AI agents. Here’s a quick demo of how I remotely connect, monitor what’s happening, and take over when needed from my iPad

So, apparently your screen protector might be WORSE for your iPhone 17... Apple’s "Ceramic Shield 2" adds a built-in anti-reflective coating, cutting reflections by about half vs iPhone 16... 🪩 But a standard screen protector BLOCKS the anti-reflective layer’s contact with air, doubling glare and reducing outdoor clarity, according to @Astropad. 🤔 Anti-reflective-coated protectors like Astropad’s "Fresh Coat" avoid this by replacing the native anti-reflective layer and can drop reflectivity to 1% for sharper outdoor visibility. 📱 I may have to give these Astropad screen protectors a try. 👀
