About Astropad Workbench
Workbench is a remote desktop app for watching and controlling a Mac from an iPhone, iPad or another Mac, built for people running AI agents on a headless Mac mini. It streams over Astropad’s low-latency codec, merges several displays into one view, and takes touch, keyboard, dictation and Apple Pencil input.
