NearCue / Local Remote iPhone · Apple Watch · Mac

For developers working with AI agents

AI keeps working.
You don't have to watch.

From the sofa, the kitchen, or simply a few minutes away from your desk: confirm, stop, choose, or dictate. NearCue keeps work moving on your Mac.

Step away.
Stay in control.

NearCue is not a remote desktop. It sends only the actions you need, exactly where you intend.

01

Confirm and stop

When your AI needs a decision, respond from iPhone or Apple Watch.

02

Choices and keys

Arrows, Tab, Delete, Undo, and command prefixes — just the controls that matter.

03

Voice input

Insert recognized text into the current Mac input. You still decide whether to submit it.

04

Command library

Turn frequently used instructions into buttons. Manage them on iPhone and sync them to Apple Watch.

NearCue's boundaries

It never reads your screen.

It never uses the cloud.

It never takes the final step for you.

Every Mac must be paired. Every controlled app requires explicit approval. Voice recognition stays on device, and diagnostics leave only when you export them.

Read the full Privacy Policy

Three steps.
You're ready.

  1. 01

    Install both apps

    Get the iPhone app from the App Store and download the free Mac receiver from this page.

  2. 02

    Enter the pairing code

    With both devices on the same nearby network, enter the six-digit code and approve the iPhone on your Mac.

  3. 03

    Approve your target app

    Grant the Mac accessibility permission, then add the frontmost app you want to control.

About Accessibility permission

NearCue uses it only to send the keys you actively press to the currently approved app. It does not read screen content or control your Mac when you are not interacting with it.

Keep NearCue
on your devices.

The Mac receiver is free. The free iPhone app includes essential controls; a one-time in-app purchase unlocks every remote feature. No subscription.

Why can't my iPhone find my Mac?

Make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi or nearby peer-to-peer network. On iPhone, allow NearCue under Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network, and keep NearCue running on the Mac.

Why isn't the Mac app in the Mac App Store?

NearCue needs Accessibility permission to send the keys you actively trigger to an approved app. The Mac app is distributed from this website, but remains Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple.

Why doesn't my Mac respond?

Check that Accessibility permission is granted, the target app is frontmost, and that app has been explicitly approved in NearCue.

Does voice input submit automatically?

No. NearCue only inserts recognized text into the current Mac input. You always choose whether to confirm or send it.

How do I restore my one-time purchase?

In NearCue settings or the purchase screen on iPhone, tap Restore Purchases and use the Apple Account that made the purchase. The Mac receiver is free and does not need to be purchased again.
