Text from anywhere
Your Mac already has your iMessages and texts. On a work computer, open them in the browser and answer from there. They stay on your Mac.
Your Mac, wherever you are.
Teleroam puts the Mac you left at home on your iPhone, or in a browser on any computer. Grab a file, check your own accounts, use your home network, and answer a text from a work computer, all from your actual Mac.
What it's for
It isn't a stripped-down copy in the cloud. It's your own Mac, signed in and set up the way you left it. More is on the use cases page.
Get to your files
The document in your home folder, the photo you didn't sync, the project you were halfway through. Open it right where it is, or copy it in Finder and download it to your phone. Send files the other way and they land in Downloads.
Copy here, paste there
Copy on the Mac and it's on your iPhone's clipboard. Paste from your phone or a work computer and it goes straight into the Mac.
Your personal accounts
Email, notes, banking, your password manager. They're already signed in on your Mac, so you never have to log in on someone else's computer.
Stay on your home network
Your Mac is on your home Wi-Fi, so you can reach the printer, the file server, the router page, or the cameras that only work at home.
From a computer that isn't yours
A work PC, a library computer, a hotel lobby. Open a browser page. Nothing gets installed, and nothing stays behind when you close it.
Keep work and personal apart
Personal things stay on your Mac instead of spreading across a work laptop. Close the tab and it's gone from that machine.
What it looks like
The app you're using is shown big, with the keys a phone keyboard doesn't have one tap away.
On another computer, the whole desktop in a browser tab, with your keyboard and mouse
How it works
The Mac stays where it is. You go to it.
1
Install the Mac app
A small menu-bar app. It asks for two permissions and then shows a QR code and a link. The setup guide covers the settings that keep the Mac reachable.
2
Scan the code with your iPhone
Add it to your Home Screen and it opens like an app. It works from home, cellular, a hotel, anywhere, without a VPN.
3
Let other devices in with a 6-digit code
On a work PC, open your Teleroam link and type the code shown on your phone. Your phone asks you to allow it. Nothing gets in without that.
While someone is connected
The Mac should never be in use without you knowing. More on the security page.
Who's on it, right now
The Mac's menu bar shows how many devices are connected, and the Teleroam window lists each one: which device, from home or away, for how long.
Your phone is asked first
A new device can't get in until you tap Allow on your phone. Every device checks in again every 24 hours: yours with Face ID, anyone else's by asking you.
One tap to cut it off
Disconnect a device from the Mac or your phone, or remove it for good. Removed devices have to be let in all over again.
