Setup

First time? Follow these three steps.

Install and grant permissions

Open TouchNow Host on the Mac to be shared, then follow the prompts to enable Accessibility and Screen Recording — status is detected automatically and turns green once granted.

Pair your device

iPhone: tap "Pair New Mac" and scan the QR code on the shared Mac's screen. Not near the Mac? Have the other person send you the encrypted pairing code, paste it, and enter the 6-digit PIN.

Connect

On the same Wi-Fi it appears in your list automatically — one tap to connect, with every local network feature free forever. Want to connect home from outside? Subscribe to Remote Access on iPhone/iPad (US$2.99/month or US$19.99/year) — nothing extra to pay on the Mac side.
