Udon – Remote management for macOS home servers

Udon launched a remote management tool that turns an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 26 or later into a browser-managed home server for containers, self-hosted apps, AI agents, and files. Udon is free for a 14-day trial and then costs $29 as a one-time lifetime purchase, with the license tied to the Mac's serial number and no cloud account required. The built-in AI assistant deploys apps and fixes problems using the user's own API key, AI subscription, or a local model, and users can connect their own AI client over MCP; remote access works over Tailscale, and iPhone and Android apps are coming soon.
