Be an AFK Developer

Your full dev environment, from your pocket.
AFK is a remote desktop app that connects your phone to your Mac — designed for vibe coding, seriously. iOS and Android. Low latency, touch-optimized, just works.

Building AFK with AFK — fixing bugs, running simulators, all from the couch while watching Thursday Murder Club.

Works with everything

AFK connects you to your Mac. What runs on it is up to you.

See it in action

Your Mac.
Not a sandbox.

Cloud sandboxes limit what you can do. Terminal-only tools limit what you can see. AFK gives you your full environment — browser, simulator, databases, running services.

Peer-to-peer WebRTC

Your phone connects directly to your Mac. Screen data and input never touch our servers.

Open source host

See exactly what's running on your machine. View on GitHub.

End-to-end encrypted

All traffic encrypted with DTLS-SRTP. Our signaling server only helps your devices find each other.

No account needed

Pair once with a code. Session keys stay on your devices. Just install and connect.

Setup in 2 minutes

No account needed. Just install and connect.
