Since Mac mini sales are surging from the OpenClaw/ AI agent wave, a new pain point has emerged: once your machine's running headless 24/7, you lose visibility. Existing tools like Anthropic's Claude Remote Control are limited to the terminal, and the rest of your desktop is a black box.

Astropad Workbench is a modern remote desktop built specifically for Mac and the new AI age. Now you can babysit your agents from anywhere, without being tethered to your desk:

- Native Mac, iPad, and iPhone apps to remotely control your Mac desktop - Perceptually lossless, low-latency streaming that feels like you're sitting at your machine - Voice input to send text commands directly to your Mac


Love this idea!

This sounds like a subscription based service to me


It's about power, and money is how you keep the score.

Two scenarios:

1. People want to be managers to have more power/control/influence... Then money is needed to keep the score up

2. They happen to become manager, and in a hierarchical structure (company) power/money is how you enforce order
