Astropad has launched Workbench 1.4, a major update to its Mac remote desktop app. The release introduces a built-in terminal that allows seamless switching between desktop and command-line views without reconnecting. Users can check logs, edit scripts, and restart processes directly from their iPhone or iPad.
Terminal sessions persist across devices, and voice input is supported for dictating commands. The update also adds native iPhone Duo support, enabling agents to remain visible in one pane while using the rest of the phone. For Mac-to-Mac connections, users can now drag and drop files during terminal sessions.
Workbench remains free for 20 minutes daily, with unlimited access priced at $14.99/month or $79.99/year. The app requires macOS 15, iOS 26, or iPadOS 26 or later.
