One of the standout features of Mermaid is its Live Screen capability, which allows you to watch your Mac's screen from your phone. This feature is complemented by the Take Over function, enabling you to use your Mac's trackpad and keyboard remotely. These functionalities ensure that you have full control over your Mac, even when you're not physically present.
Mermaid requires a one-time pairing on the same Wi-Fi network, after which it can operate over Wi-Fi or mobile data. This flexibility means that as long as your Mac is on, awake, and online, you can access it from virtually anywhere. The app is currently in beta and is available for free, with an AI usage allowance. This makes it an attractive option for users looking to explore remote Mac management without incurring costs.
The app is compatible with Macs running macOS 14 or later and iPhones with iOS 17 or later. While an Android version is in development, currently only iPhone users can take advantage of Mermaid's capabilities. The app emphasizes user control and security, requiring approval for any consequential actions such as sending messages or deleting files. This ensures that users maintain oversight and can prevent any unintended actions.
