Once your phone can talk to your Mac, there is more it can usefully show you than agent conversations. These screens are aimed at whichever machine is currently selected in the sidebar.
- Console
- A shell. Type a command, get its output, exit code and duration back.
- Processes
- What is running and how hard it is working — and quit anything that has stopped behaving.
- Dock
- Your Mac’s Dock: launch, quit or restart an app, and see what windows it has open.
- Remote Tabs
- The browser tabs open on that machine.
The terminal is a real shell
Console is not a log viewer — it runs commands on the machine and hands you back stdout, the exit code and how long it took. Every run is a fresh shell, so use cd to move around rather than expecting to stay where you were.
- Long-running commands go in the background — flip bg on and the run stops competing with the host’s foreground time budget.
- Output is capped at 200KB, so a runaway command cannot flood the phone.
- A running command can be stopped from here without going near the Mac.
Reshaping a Mac window for a phone
A Mac app’s window is the wrong shape for a phone, and a mirrored one you have to pan around is barely usable. So you can resize the window itself from here — Phone Portrait, Tall Column, Square, Laptop or Full Width, or a custom size — and the app on the Mac genuinely relays out at that shape.
