Show HN: I built an iOS app to WebRTC into my Mac terminal from the toilet

I wanted to access my Mac terminal from iPhone without setting up VPN or other weird network rules. So I built macky.dev as a fun side project.

When the mac app is running it makes an outbound connection to my signaling server and registers itself under the account. iPhone also connects to this signaling server and requests a connection to that mac. Once both the host and remote are verified then it establishes a direct peer to peer connection using WebRTC.

Should fix the images on the page, but the app looks good. Using Termius on iPhone, but seriously thinking of trying something else

    Cloudflare just went down for static site assets, need to migrate away

      If its just static content you can also use GitHub Pages, its free and you get SSL/OwnDomain, use it for most of my iPhone/Mac Apps. Example https://jetpach.com/
