The MacPeek Remote app icon
Coming soon · not released yet

Every Mac you look after.
Live, in one window.

A native console for the Macs that run MacPeek. CPU, memory, disk and network on all of them, updated every second, with 30 days of history, alerts, and every Peek one click away.

Native macOS app · end-to-end encrypted · no MDM, no admin rights, nothing to sign in to on the Macs you watch

Dashboard

Open a Mac. See everything, now.

  • CPU as a ring and per core, with load average and user / system split.
  • Memory with pressure and where it goes: app, wired, compressed, cached, swap.
  • Disk space for every volume, and read / write rates.
  • Network throughput per interface, and the busiest processes by CPU and memory.
History

What happened while you were away.

  • Live, 1H, 6H, 24H and up to 30 days, kept on each Mac and synced to your consoles.
  • Connectivity: when each Mac was online, offline, or not being watched.
  • CPU, memory, network, disk activity and disk used. Hover for exact values.
  • Export any range as CSV.
Peeks

MacPeek’s answers, on any Mac.

CPUMemoryDiskNetworkDNSPortsProcessesSleep
  • Free a stuck port or quit a process on another Mac, without walking over.
  • You confirm first, and that Mac re-checks the process before it sends anything.
  • Actions work only on Macs paired as “View and act” and with actions allowed there.
  • Check that Mac’s DNS servers answer, see what keeps it awake, and more.
And the rest

Made for the person who looks after the Macs.

The small things that make watching several Macs calm instead of busy.

Alerts that wait

CPU high for minutes, critical memory pressure, a nearly full startup disk, a Mac offline. Each alert fires once, as a macOS notification, and clears itself.

⌘K for the fleet

Jump to any Mac, screen or Peek, or filter: port:3000, cpu>80, mem>70, disk>90, offline.

Every Mac, your way

A table, a grid or a compact list, sorted by any column, with live sparklines. Rename Macs in this console only.

An activity log on both sides

Every port freed and process quit is listed in the console, and each Mac keeps its own log in MacPeek, so nothing happens off the record.

Feels like a Mac app

Native SwiftUI, light, dark or follow the system, a sidebar that collapses to icons, and keyboard shortcuts for every screen.

How it works

Turn it on. Pair. Watch.

Turn on Remote management

In MacPeek on each Mac: Settings ▸ Remote management. It is off until you do, and MacPeek shows it in the menu bar while it is on.

Pair with a code

The console lists Macs nearby. That Mac shows a code; type it in, check that both screens show the same four words, and choose what the console may do.

Watch and act

The Mac joins your Overview with live numbers. It stays connected while the console runs, and reconnects by itself after sleep or a network change.

Security

The Mac stays in charge.

The part that runs on a watched Mac is built into the free, open-source MacPeek app, so anyone can read exactly what it does. The rules it follows:

  • Off by default. Until you turn it on, nothing listens, nothing is advertised and nothing connects.
  • Paired by key. A one-time code and four matching words; afterwards the console only talks to the key it paired with.
  • End-to-end encrypted (ChaCha20-Poly1305) between the console and each Mac.
  • Separate switches for remote viewing and for actions, on the Mac itself.
  • No new privileges. No helper tool and no administrator rights; actions use MacPeek’s existing safety checks.
  • Revoke anytime from the Mac. Pairings, revocations and every action are logged there.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

When is MacPeek Remote coming out?

It is in development and not released yet. The console already runs against real Macs in testing; there is no date, no beta and no sign-up list today. This site will say when that changes.

What do I install on the Macs I look after?

Only MacPeek, the free menu-bar app. The part that answers the console is built into it, switched off. Turn on Remote management in MacPeek’s Settings on each Mac you want to see.

Does it work outside my network?

Not yet. Today the console finds and connects to Macs on the same local network. Access from anywhere, through an end-to-end encrypted relay, is planned for launch and included in the same subscription.

Is it MDM?

No. MacPeek Remote is for people who look after a handful of Macs: developers, home labs, consultants and small studios. It does not install profiles, push software or need administrator rights.

How often does it update?

Every second for CPU, memory and network on every connected Mac, with per-process use every second for the Mac on screen. History keeps 30-second points for 30 days and syncs across your devices.

Which Macs does it support?

The console and the Macs it watches need macOS 13 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel.
