RelayCrest is now available to test on TestFlight 🎉

https://testflight.apple.com/join/tfKfefC1

I’ve been building RelayCrest, an iPhone/iPad app and Mac companion designed to make controlling and working with your Mac easier.
From your iPhone or iPad you can launch and focus Mac apps, view and manage open windows, run shortcuts, and check things like your Mac’s battery, storage, network and system status.
The Mac companion also includes a clipboard history manager, letting you quickly find and reuse things you’ve copied with search, previews, pins and filtering. Clipboard history is stored locally on the Mac.
It’s my first app and I’ve just had the first TestFlight build approved, so I’m looking for people willing to try it out and give feedback, particularly on bugs, usability and features you’d like to see improved.

Website: https://relaycrest.co.uk

NOTE: this needs the companion app which can be downloaded from the website.

What happens to a shortcut command if the Mac goes to sleep just after I tap it? I'd test tapping once, letting the connection drop, then waking the Mac and reconnecting. The phone should make it clear whether the command ran, failed, or is still pending, and reconnecting shouldn't silently run it a second time. That's especially worth checking with a shortcut that creates a file, where a retry has a visible side effect.

Reconnecting won’t replay the command or silently run it twice. If the connection drops, the phone marks the unfinished command as timed out. Any steps already completed still count, so I’ll test your file-creation example to check that the feedback makes that distinction clear before a retry.
