Crystal-clear screen mirroring
Servey streams a custom hardware-HEVC feed of your Mac on the same network, aiming for sharp text and low latency. The interface supports pinch-to-zoom so you can inspect small details.
Servey
Servey lets you mirror and control a Mac from an iPhone or iPad, with a real terminal and automatic local-or-remote connectivity. It is aimed at people who want full Mac access on mobile without VPN or port forwarding.
Remote Mac access from iPhone and iPad
Servey is a remote access app for Mac that lets you view and control your computer from an iPhone or iPad. Its core job is to make a Mac usable from a pocket-sized device without relying on a browser-based remote desktop.
On the same network, Servey uses a direct hardware-HEVC stream for crisp screen mirroring and low latency. When the devices are on different networks, it falls back to a private peer-to-peer WebRTC connection, while keeping the terminal and input controls available in both modes.
The product is positioned for people who want to work on a Mac away from the desk: browsing the full desktop, entering keyboard shortcuts, moving a pointer with a virtual trackpad, and opening a real shell from the mobile device.
Setup is presented as simple account pairing: install the app on the Mac and the iPhone or iPad, sign in with Google on both devices, and tap the Mac when it appears. The source says no VPN or port forwarding is required.
Core features
Full mouse and trackpad control
The app includes a purpose-built virtual trackpad with relative movement, left and right click, drag, and scrolling. It is designed to reach every edge of the screen from an iPhone or iPad.
Keyboard and shortcut input
A built-in keyboard provides common system shortcuts such as Copy, Paste, Escape, Tab, Return, and Backspace, so you can work without switching back to the Mac.
Native terminal access
Servey exposes a real shell on the Mac rather than a web console. The terminal works over both the local and remote connection paths.
Automatic connection routing
When devices are on the same Wi-Fi network, Servey uses a direct hardware-HEVC path. When they are on different networks, it automatically falls back to private peer-to-peer WebRTC.
Path-aware adaptive quality
The app tunes resolution and bitrate to the live network path and keeps the screen uncropped, so the image adapts without cutting off part of the desktop.
Common use cases
Access your Mac away from the desk
Open the Mac desktop on an iPhone or iPad and keep working when you are away from the machine. The mirrored view preserves the full screen and supports pinch-to-zoom for detail work.
Handle shell work from mobile
Use the built-in terminal to run commands, inspect logs, or address a build problem without needing a laptop in front of you. The source says the terminal works on both LAN and remote connections.
Control desktop apps from touch
Move the pointer, click, drag, scroll, and enter keyboard shortcuts from a touch device when a mouse and keyboard are not available. The virtual trackpad is designed to reach every edge of the screen.
Switch between local and remote access
Let the app choose the best connection path automatically when you move between home Wi-Fi, office networks, and remote locations. The source describes a direct local path and a private P2P fallback.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Supports both screen mirroring and terminal access in one app.
- Uses direct hardware-HEVC on the local network and private P2P WebRTC remotely.
- Includes built-in mouse, keyboard, trackpad, and common shortcut controls.
- Claims automatic path selection, so users do not need to manage VPN or port forwarding.
- Keeps the remote video peer-to-peer and says the cloud only brokers the handshake.
Cons
- The pricing page was not available in the collected sources, so current plan details and availability beyond the waitlist are unresolved.
- The source does not provide deeper documentation on setup requirements, limitations, or supported versions of macOS, iPhone, or iPad.
- The page does not show integration details beyond Google sign-in and device pairing.
FAQ
Do I need to be on the same network?
Servey is designed to switch automatically between a direct LAN path and a private peer-to-peer remote path. The source says the app uses hardware HEVC on the same network and falls back to private P2P WebRTC when the devices are on different networks.
Is it secure and private?
The source describes Servey as private by design. On remote connections, the screen video is peer-to-peer and end-to-end encrypted, and the cloud is used only to broker the initial handshake.
Does it work over cellular?
Yes. The source states that the remote path works over private peer-to-peer WebRTC, and that the app can use STUN/TURN traversal even on CGNAT.
Which devices are supported?
The product is described for Mac on one side and iPhone or iPad on the other. Sign-in is done with Google on both devices, and the Mac is then available on the mobile device.
Do I need a VPN or port forwarding?
No. The source explicitly says there is no VPN or port forwarding required; Servey handles the connection path automatically.
