Voice, hands-free
Speak a turn, pause, and it sends. The reply plays back in the phone's synthetic voice, with no extra voice account.

Text and image messages
Send PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP up to 10 MB. Tap any image to enlarge it. Ordinary images are kept for 30 days.
Spoken conversations
Use Dictate to edit a transcript before it sends, or Voice → Speak to talk. Pause and the turn sends itself; replies play in the phone's own voice.
Mac screen on request
Ask for a fresh snapshot of the main display. Nothing streams or records in the background, and each snapshot expires after ten minutes.
Invitations and notifications
Your Mac can invite you to a 90-second voice conversation. With Web Push enabled, a notification opens Pocket Link to answer.

Encrypted in transit
Every hop between your iPhone and your Mac is encrypted
Messages, images, voice and screen snapshots travel inside TLS the whole way. They never cross the internet as plain text.
- Your iPhonePocket Link web app
- HTTPS · TLS 1.3
- CloudflareRoutes the connection
- Encrypted tunnel
- Your MacServer stays on 127.0.0.1
- HTTPS only. Plain-HTTP visits are redirected, and browsers are told to use HTTPS every time.
- Every message signed. Your phone signs each request with HMAC-SHA256, using a device key agreed by ECDH at pairing. The key never crosses the network.
- Replays refused. Each signature covers the message, a timestamp and a one-time nonce, so a copied or altered request is rejected.
- Hashed secrets. Pairing codes and session tokens are kept only as SHA-256 hashes, and your password as a scrypt hash.
- Locked-down cookie. The session cookie is Secure, HttpOnly and SameSite=Strict.
- Private on disk. Messages and media sit in owner-only files on your Mac. Turn on FileVault to encrypt them at rest.
Not end-to-end encrypted yet. Cloudflare decrypts traffic at its edge to route it to your Mac, so treat pairing QR codes as private.
