Tailtop macOS host · alpha

Private remote computing

Your Mac,
within reach.

Install the command-line host once. Tailtop starts when you log in and stays available privately through your Tailscale network.

After install 03 steps

No app to babysit.

  1. 01

    Follow setup

    The CLI asks about launch-at-login and walks you through Screen Recording and Accessibility.

  2. 02

    Stay private

    Connect Tailscale on the Mac and Android device. Tailtop opens no public port.

  3. 03

    Open Tailtop

    Enter the Mac’s MagicDNS name in the Android app and connect.

Plain CLI, useful manners

Quietly runs at login.

Local by design.

Tailtop handles remote windows and input. Tailscale handles reachability, encryption, NAT traversal, and your network policy.
