Workbench

Workbench, made by Astropad, is a remote desktop application that enables users to access and control Mac computers, AI agents, and headless Mac minis from iOS and iPad devices, designed for monitoring and managing always-on computing setups from anywhere. It offers high-fidelity streaming powered by Astropad's proprietary LIQUID technology with low latency and Retina display support, voice input control via dictation from iPhone or iPad, and native apps built specifically for Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Workbench includes a unified display combining multiple Mac displays into one screen, a mini-map for navigating large desktops, Apple Pencil support for precise cursor control, and end-to-end AES-256 encryption. It uses a global relay network spanning 11 regions requiring no port forwarding, with real-time job monitoring and progress tracking specifically built for supervising AI agents on headless Mac mini configurations. Pricing is freemium: a free tier includes 20 minutes of access per day, with unlimited access available at $14.99/month or $79.99/year.
