Product information reviewed .
How can I control my Mac from an iPhone or iPad?
AirDesk pairs its iPhone or iPad app with the free Mac companion so you can discover the Mac, select a display, and control it with direct touch.
Does AirDesk work on the same local network?
Yes. Fast local-network access is AirDesk's primary workflow, with secure pairing and automatic Mac discovery.
Is AirDesk an enterprise remote-support platform?
No. AirDesk is focused on direct personal Mac access. Teams that need fleet management, help-desk queues, or broad operating-system support should use a dedicated enterprise platform.
