RedZen's Aether: Control Mac with Voice from iPhone

RedZen has released Aether, an AI agent that lets users operate a Mac from an iPhone using voice or typed requests. This new application is available on the Apple App Store for both macOS and iOS. Here's how it works: Aether pairs a Mac application with an iPhone companion. Users can speak or type requests in ordinary language, and the AI agent then carries them out on the Mac. This includes opening applications, sending messages, or completing multi-step tasks. The agent reports each step as it proceeds. RedZen describes Aether as an "AI wingman" that performs actions, rather than just returning answers. The company says Aether interprets a request, divides it into steps for macOS, executes them, and reports in real time. If a request is unclear, the agent asks for clarification instead of guessing. What's interesting is the connection model. RedZen states that Aether does not expose the Mac to the public internet or require entrusting a third party with credentials. The Mac maintains a single outbound connection, enhancing security. This means users can control their Mac remotely without widening its attack surface.
