Astropad Workbench 1.4 adds terminal, iPhone Duo, and Mac-to-Mac file transfers

9to5mac.com —

Astropad released Workbench 1.4, a major update to its remote desktop app for Mac, adding a built-in terminal, native iPhone Duo support, and a new Mac-to-Mac file transfer method. The terminal feature lets users switch between Screen and Terminal views without reconnecting, with sessions persisting across devices and supporting voice input. Mac-to-Mac connections now allow drag-and-drop file transfers during terminal sessions, while iPhone Duo support keeps an agent visible in one pane. Workbench remains free for 20 minutes of daily access, with unlimited use priced at $14.99 monthly or $79.99 yearly. The app requires macOS 15, iOS 26, or iPadOS 26 or later.
