MacTap — Remote Control Your Mac from Apple Watch

The only Mac remote control app that works beyond your local WiFi. Sleep, lock, control music, launch apps, and manage your Mac from your wrist — whether you're in the next room or on the other side of the planet.

Why MacTap?

Every Mac remote control app on the App Store requires local WiFi. MacTap is different. Using Tailscale's secure mesh network, MacTap gives you instant control of your Mac from anywhere with an internet connection.

40+ Commands

Power, audio, media, apps, and system commands — all preset and ready to use.

Watch-First

Every command is a single tap on your Apple Watch. No menus, no typing.

Works Anywhere

Control your Mac from any network via Tailscale SSH. Not limited to WiFi.

Secure

SSH over WireGuard encryption. No cloud, no third-party servers, no tracking.

Built-in Radio

23 free internet radio stations across 9 genres. Pick and play from your wrist.

No Subscriptions

One-time purchase. No API costs, no recurring fees, no hidden charges. Ever.
