In 50 words

Nightdesk puts your Mac or Linux computer in your hand, live, on an iPhone, iPad, iPhone Duo or Android phone. It is built for the age of AI agents: glance at a question, read the diff, steer the next step, from anywhere. End-to-end encrypted, no account, free on the computer.

In 150 words

Nightdesk is a remote desktop for the age of AI agents. Coding agents now run for hours on our computers, so the human job has moved from typing to deciding: answer the agent’s question, approve its plan, read the diff. At any hour, rarely at a desk.

Nightdesk puts your own Mac or Linux computer on your phone or tablet, live at up to 120 frames a second, with a trackpad, the keys a terminal needs and its sound. On iPhone Duo it takes every shape: folded you glance, open you read, and half open, as a tiny laptop, you steer.

Pairing is one scan of a code: no account, no open ports. Every link is end-to-end encrypted, at home or through a relay that can’t read it. Nightdesk is free on the computer; the apps are free for 14 days, then $4.99 a month or $57 once.

02The story

Our job moved from typing to deciding.

AI agents now run for hours on our computers. They write the code and run the tests, and then they wait for a person. So our job moved from typing to deciding: answer the agent, approve its plan, read the diff, say ship it. That happens at any hour, and rarely at a desk.

I built Nightdesk for exactly those moments. My Mac would be in my office, still working on what I’d left it doing, and I’d remember something from another room. Now I pick up my phone and it’s right there.

iPhone Duo is the first phone shaped for that rhythm, so I built Nightdesk for each of its shapes. Folded, you glance: the agent’s question on the outer screen, one tap to answer. Open, you read: the whole desktop, big enough to really read the diff. Half open, it’s a tiny laptop, your computer’s screen on top and a trackpad and keys below, and you steer.

04Who makes it

Sheroze Ajmal, Coded Realities LLC.

I’m Sheroze Ajmal, and I build apps at Coded Realities LLC, my own small company. Nightdesk is the one I use every day. I make all of it: the apps for iPhone, iPad and Android, the apps for Mac and Linux, and the encrypted relay between them. Write to the address below and it comes to me.

I also built Keyey, an Android keyboard with accurate voice typing that runs on the phone itself. I pair it with Nightdesk to talk to my computer.

A short video

Glance, read, steer on iPhone Duo. 25 seconds, no sound: an AI agent’s question answered folded, its work read open, and the next step typed half open, as a tiny laptop.
