# Workbench

> Control a Mac remotely from Apple devices and keep track of jobs running while you are away.

Workbench provides remote access to a Mac from an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac. It is designed for checking ongoing work, controlling applications, and managing headless machines such as a Mac mini running AI agents. Users can inspect logs, adjust a task, or restart a job without attaching a separate display.

A unified display adapts multiple Mac screens to the remote device, while gestures, keyboard input, Apple Pencil support, and voice dictation provide different ways to interact. A device catalog helps switch between machines. The connection uses Astropad's streaming technology and a relay network to support remote sessions without manual port-forwarding setup.
