Features
Everything the machine can do, from wherever you are.
TETHERÆ is not a screen viewer with a pointer bolted on. The agent runs as a real part of the operating system, so the machine behaves as if you were sitting at it, including the parts other remote tools quietly cannot reach.
- 01
Full control, not a viewer
Keyboard, mouse, scroll, drag, modifier keys and Ctrl+Alt+Del. The machine behaves as if you were sitting at it.
Input is injected at the OS level on every platform, so applications cannot tell the difference between you and the keyboard on the desk. That includes the combinations remote tools usually swallow: Ctrl+Alt+Del, the Windows key, function keys, and modifier-held drags.
- 02
Built around latency
H.264 hardware encoding, and a relay in the region that answers you fastest.
Frames are encoded with the platform hardware encoder and carried over a relay chosen by measured round-trip time rather than by where you signed up. The status pill in the app shows the live figure; it is the number the connection actually has, not an average.
- 03
Rest mode
Switch the display and non-essential power draw off from your phone, without dropping the session.
Rest turns the remote display off and releases the capture pipeline while holding the session open and keeping the machine awake enough to answer you. It is the thing a sleeping computer cannot do: a machine that has gone to sleep is a machine you cannot reach. Implemented natively on each platform.
- 04
Your week
A record of the time you actually worked away from the desk. Measured, never estimated.
A minute counts when you typed, tapped, scrolled or clicked in it. Time connected but idle is not counted as work, there are no projections or productivity scores, and nothing leaves your device. A tracker whose numbers are not defensible is worse than no tracker, so this one only reports what it observed.
- 05
File transfer
Move files between the machine and the device you are holding, over the same encrypted session.
Transfers ride the session that is already open and already authenticated. There is no upload to a third-party bucket in the middle, and no separate share link that outlives the transfer.
- 06
Every display
Switch between monitors on a multi-display machine, one at a time or side by side.
The agent enumerates attached displays and streams the one you select, so a three-monitor desk does not arrive as one unreadable strip.
- 08
Reminders that stop
Three fading nudges after you stop using it, then silence.
Reminders are scheduled forward and cancelled every time a session starts, so they only ever arrive after a real gap: four days, eleven days, twenty-five days, then nothing. An app that notifies on a drumbeat gets its notifications switched off, which would take the weekly summary down with it.
Also in the app
- Wake on LAN
- Wake a sleeping machine on the same network, if it stored its hardware address while awake
- Clipboard
- Text moves between the device and the machine inside the session
- Ctrl+Alt+Del
- Sent as a real secure-attention sequence on Windows
- Pairing
- QR code at the machine, or a typed pairing code
- Forget devices
- Revoke a device from either end; revocation reaches both relay regions
- Usage
- 1 token = 1 MB of screen streamed to this device
