Control your Mac from iPhone, iPad or another Mac. Headroom is a Screen Sharing client: remote access with nothing to install on the Mac, no account, no server in between. On iPhone Duo it changes with every pose: half open, Mac on top, keyboard below.

Partial Building a VNC-style remote desktop client UI is feasible, but implementing the Apple Screen Sharing protocol with its authentication, plus fold-aware layout, is protocol-level work that is harder to vibe-code reliably.
What it would actually take: Start from an open-source RFB/VNC client library and implement Apple's Screen Sharing authentication variant, which differs from standard VNC. The iOS side needs a native SwiftUI or UIKit app that responds to the foldable display's hinge position and keyboard layout. The hard parts are protocol compatibility, latency and codec performance, and secure remote access, which call for networking and remote-display expertise.
