Setup takes about five minutes.
Set up your Mac
- Turn on Screen Sharing: System Settings → General → Sharing → Screen Sharing.
- Install Node 20+ and Tailscale, and sign in to Tailscale on both your Mac and your phone.
- Download the Mac program and unzip it. In Terminal, go to the folder and run
./install.sh. - Open the address it prints, in the app or in Safari, and sign in.
Troubleshooting
- The page won't load. The server may not be running. On the Mac, run
launchctl list | grep macremote, or run./install.shagain. - It loads but the screen won't connect. Screen Sharing may be off, or the Mac username or password is wrong.
- The address won't open on your phone. Tailscale must be connected on both devices.
- It shows Reconnecting for a long time. Fully close the app and reopen it. If it keeps happening, check that your Mac isn't asleep.
