Questions
Questions about Reach
What exactly is App Focus?
App Focus streams only the app you choose. Your Mac captures that app's windows before encoding the video, leaving everything else out of the stream. The rest of the screen shows black. Use it to watch a coding agent, a render, or a download. "Phone shape" fits the window to your phone, and one tap on "Whole screen" returns you to the full desktop.
Does it need the internet to work?
At home your iPhone connects straight to your Mac on the same Wi-Fi. Away from home on Pro, the session moves to the relay by itself, so cellular and remote networks work with no Virtual Private Network (VPN) app and no mode to pick. One screen capture feeds both paths.
What does the Mac need?
A Mac running macOS 15 or later, with the Reach Desktop host app in the menu bar. Grant it Screen Recording so it can capture your display and Accessibility so your taps and keys can drive the pointer. Turn on "Launch at login" and "Start publishing automatically" and your Mac is reachable the moment you log in.
Which iPhone, iPad and Mac models have a layout?
Each model has its own layout. That includes every iPhone from 6.1-inch to 6.9-inch, the iPhone Air, and the iPhone Duo, folded and unfolded. iPad Pro 13-inch and iPad Air 13-inch work like a remote MacBook with a button deck under your Mac's screen; the 11-inch iPads get a slim function row; on the iPad mini, the controls run as a slim rail along the edge. Apple Vision Pro runs Reach Desktop Vision. On a Mac, each Mac you reach opens in its own window. See every device, or every capability and how to check it.
How is this different from VNC or macOS Screen Sharing?
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) and Screen Sharing send your display as compressed image tiles over the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), where motion commonly stutters and a dropped packet can freeze the picture. Reach Desktop captures your display with ScreenCaptureKit, encodes it on the graphics processor (GPU) as H.264 video, and streams it over Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC), the approach Parsec and Moonlight use for game streaming. With full 4:4:4 color, measured at 3456x2234 and 20 Mbps, colored text edges stay within 1.4% of the source, against 1.9% to 4.3% for standard 4:2:0.
Does it carry sound?
Yes. Turn on "Sound" and the Mac's audio streams alongside the video, so you hear the export chime, the video you are previewing, or the notification you were waiting on.
Can my keyboard shortcuts act on the other Mac?
Yes, and you choose how much crosses over from a chip in the session bar, mid-session: "Typing only", "System keys", "Immersive" or "Locked". The escape hatch, ⌃⌥⇧⎋, is printed on the bar and always gives your keyboard back. With "Shared clipboard" on, you copy on one Mac and paste on the other.
Which coding agents does it work with?
Agent Alerts work with Claude, Codex, Cursor, a terminal and any app on your Mac. Your Mac notices when an agent needs input or finishes a job, and your phone buzzes even with Reach closed. The Live Activity on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island shows "working", "needs you" and "done". Tap the alert, and Reach opens App Focus on that app, showing its windows on your phone and nothing else from the Mac. "Phone shape" fits the window to your screen, while Home keeps "GO STRAIGHT TO" tiles for the three apps you focus most. Answer with the full keyboard or "Dictate to your Mac", then tap "Whole screen" to return to the full desktop.
Can I help someone else with their Mac?
Send a link and watch their screen while you talk them through the problem on the phone. The person you are helping has "Nothing to install, they can stop any time." They keep their hands on the keyboard while you help them fix it. Reach Desktop Pro adds a permanent support address where family and teammates can send you their screen whenever they need help.
What happens when I leave the house mid-session?
At home, your iPhone connects straight to your Mac on the same Wi-Fi ("On Wi-Fi"). Your Mac publishes that path and the relay path from the same screen capture at the same time. Walk out the door, and Reach detects the lost media path in about three seconds, then switches to the relay ("Anywhere") automatically. In a measured session on November 3, a direct connection over an iPhone hotspot came up in 0.37 s. To adjust speed or picture quality on the road, use "Stream Quality" to switch between "Sharpest (native)", "Balanced (1920)", "Low Bandwidth (1280)" and "Faster (speed first)". The "Bitrate Ceiling" runs from 3 to 50 Mbps.
Can I reach a Mac that is locked or out of reach at the desk?
Yes. When you see "Your Mac is locked.", tap "Unlock" on your iPhone and choose "Save with Face ID" for next time. Reach Lock draws its own lock screen on the Mac so your builds and agents keep running underneath. Curtain hides the Mac's own screens while you control it from your phone. Use "Revive (remote restart)" to restart it from your phone. On the Mac, turn on "Launch at login" and "Start publishing automatically" once to make it reachable whenever you log in. The menu bar host also monitors its screen capture and recovers it automatically.
Does it work on Apple Vision Pro and on Android or Windows?
Yes. Reach Desktop Vision puts your Mac on Apple Vision Pro. On Android, Windows, an iPad, or another Mac, open the browser viewer in any browser on the same Wi-Fi as your Mac. It gives you tap to click, drag, and two-finger scroll. Every Apple screen gets its own layout: iPhone from 6.1-inch to 6.9-inch, iPhone Air, and iPhone Duo with nothing on the fold; a laptop-style button deck on iPad Pro 13-inch and iPad Air 13-inch; a slim function row on iPad 11-inch; and a side rail on iPad mini. Reach runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later and on a Mac with macOS 15 or later.
How do I sign in, and do my settings follow me?
Pick "Continue with Google", "Sign in with Apple", or "Sign in with Face ID" using a passkey. To pair a phone in seconds, choose "Open the camera and scan to connect" and point it at the QR code on your Mac. Your devices and Reach Desktop Pro then follow your account across your Macs and iPhone. Your settings back up to the account. App Focus remembers your choices for each Mac, Home keeps your "GO STRAIGHT TO" tiles, and your quick-actions ribbon keeps its layout ("Customize": six free, unlimited on Pro).
Does it work with more than one display?
Yes. Open "Your Mac's layout" for a to-scale map of every display on your Mac. Tap a monitor to view it; the highlighted monitor is the one you are viewing. Moving between screens takes a single tap, and Reach Desktop Pro shows all your monitors at once. Curtain hides the Mac's own screens while you control it, so your displays stay dark while you work from the couch. Turn on Mac sound ("Stream the Mac's audio to this device") to hear it alongside the picture.
How sharp is the picture?
Reach streams your Mac's real screen as video using ScreenCaptureKit capture, hardware H.264 encoding, and WebRTC transport, with full 4:4:4 color over High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) when your device can decode it. Measured offline at 3456x2234 and 20 Mbps, colored text edges stay within 1.4% of the source, compared with 1.9% to 4.3% for standard 4:2:0. One-pixel color detail keeps 27.6% of its contrast instead of 16.1%. Zoom in, and the Mac captures the region you are looking at, at native resolution, so small text stays sharp. "Stream Quality" offers "Sharpest (native)", "Balanced (1920)", "Low Bandwidth (1280)", and "Faster (speed first)". The "Bitrate Ceiling" runs from 3 to 50 Mbps.
What if it isn't for me?
Every paid plan, including Lifetime, carries a 100% 30-day money-back guarantee: if you are not happy for any reason, you get every dollar back. Canceling is one click from your account page, any time.
