Could you build this?
Partial The client UI is straightforward, but real-time end-to-end encrypted remote desktop, terminal PTY multiplexing, and NAT traversal via WebRTC on macOS and iOS require specialized networking engineering.
What it would actually take: Building this requires a native macOS daemon managing pseudo-terminals (PTY) and screen capture (ScreenCaptureKit), an iOS client in Swift, and an E2EE WebRTC signaling/media pipeline with TURN/STUN relays. Ensuring ultra-low latency input streaming, frame rate negotiation, and robust peer-to-peer NAT traversal demands experienced systems and networking engineers.
