Getting started

Set up in under 2 minutes

No configuration, no port forwarding, no VPN. Install both apps, pair once, and you're connected.

01

Download the Mac agent

Install SeaSalt Cove on the Mac you want to access remotely. It runs in the menu bar and connects automatically.

Go to downloads
02

Get the iOS app

Download SeaSalt Cove from the App Store on your iPhone. Create an account or sign in with the same email you used on your Mac.

Open App Store
03

Pair your devices

Tap your Mac in the device list on iOS. A 6-digit code appears on both screens. Confirm they match and you're paired with end-to-end encryption.

04

Start a session

Tap Terminal, Desktop, or Files to connect. Your sessions persist even if you close the app. Pick up where you left off anytime.

Tips

Multiple sessions

Pro users can run up to 10 sessions at once. Open a terminal in one, monitor a build in another.

Works from anywhere

No VPN or port forwarding needed. Both devices connect outbound through an encrypted relay. Works on any network.

Session persistence

Close the app, switch networks, even restart your phone. Your terminal session is still running on your Mac when you come back.
