Glancio · A live desk display for your Mac, on any phone

What it shows

A Screen for every part of your desk. Swipe between them.

Clock

Big, calm and beautiful enough to leave on all day. Works even with your computer asleep.

Focus

Start a timer from the phone, not your laptop. It keeps counting even if the Wi‑Fi drops.

System

CPU, memory, battery and network, live. See the build pegging your fans before you hear it.

Developer

Your project, branch, uncommitted changes and dev server, plus what your coding agent is up to.

AI Usage Pro

Tokens your coding agents used today and this week, by project. Read from their own logs, never estimated.

Deck Pro

Buttons for your computer: mute, media, apps, links, Shortcuts, and your call app’s own mute.

On air Pro

A sign on your desk the moment your camera or mic comes on, so nobody walks into your call.

For people who code with AI

Never miss “Claude needs your approval” again.

When Claude Code, Codex or Copilot finishes, fails or is waiting on you, the display lights up. Whatever Screen is showing, with a soft chime, so you can look away from the terminal without losing the thread.

Connect an agent with one click in the Mac app. Glancio only listens on your own computer.

How it works

Set up in a few taps. No cables, no sign-up.

1
Open Glancio on your computer

A small Mac app that lives in your menu bar. Download it free.
2
Open it on your phone

It finds your computer on the same Wi‑Fi by itself, no IP addresses or ports. Or scan the code your Mac shows.
3
Approve once

Both screens show the same six-digit code. Allow it on the computer, and from then on it reconnects on its own.

Glancio Pro · Deck

A deck of buttons for your computer.

Mute your mic in Zoom, Meet or Teams, the way the call itself shows it. Skip a track, lock the screen, open an app or a link, run any of your Shortcuts. Keys light up for what’s on, and the ones you shouldn’t hit by accident want a long press.

You set the buttons up on your computer. The phone can only press those, and never learns what they run.

Glancio Pro · On air

Knock knock. You’re on a call.

The moment your camera or microphone comes on, your display glows red with how long you’ve been on and a note for whoever walks up. When the call ends, it goes back to what it was showing.

It asks your computer whether a camera or mic is in use. It never sees or hears anything.

Glancio Pro · Designs of their own

The time, in words.

Words spells the time out in glowing letters. Every minute they let go, fall away and drop back in, settling into the new time. This one is showing yours.

Made for the Clock, alongside Pulse for System: the last minute of your CPU, drawn live.

Make it yours

Six styles. Your pick, Screen by Screen.

From calm and light to a departure board. Clock, Focus, System, Developer and AI Usage each keep their own style, so your clock can flip while your system glows. Others have looks of their own, like Words for the Clock and the Radio clock for your Nightstand.

Quiet is free. The other five come with Pro.

Glancio Pro

More from the phone on your desk.

Glancio is free to use. Pro adds more ways to see it, and follows your account to every computer and phone: $2.99 a month, or $24.99 a year with the first 7 days free. Cancel anytime.

The Deck

Buttons for your computer, down to your call app’s own mute. One Deck for every display, or one each.

On air

A sign on your desk while your camera or mic is on, with how long you’ve been on.

Words and Pulse

Designs of their own: the time in falling letters, and your CPU’s last minute, live.

Four more styles

Split-flap, Modular, Print and Neon, for Clock, Focus, System, Developer and AI Usage.

AI Usage

What your coding agents used today and this week, by project. Straight from their own logs.

Focus stats

Minutes focused today and this week, sessions finished, and your streak.

All your devices

Get Pro on your phone or tablet and sign in. It works on up to 3 Macs and 5 phones and tablets.

7 days free

The yearly plan starts with a week of everything in Pro. Cancel anytime in Google Play or the App Store.

Also in Pro: Now playing with album art, Meetings with a Join button, Today, a Teleprompter and Builds. On the way: a place to find Screens other people make.

Built right

Small ideas that matter on a desk all day.

Stays on your Wi‑Fi

Your computer talks straight to your phone over an encrypted local connection, with no cloud relay. No account needed. Pro asks you to sign in, only so your purchase follows you.

Data, not video

Your computer sends a few numbers a second. The phone draws them itself, so it’s crisp, smooth and light on battery. It isn’t screen mirroring.

Kind to old screens

Black backgrounds, gentle pixel shifting and controls that fade away protect OLED panels left on for hours.

Get Glancio

Start with your Mac, then add your phone.

Questions

Good to know

Which phones and tablets work?

Android 7.0 and later, and iPhones and iPads with iOS 15 or later. An old phone works well for this, and so does the one you use every day.

Does it need the internet?

No. The phone and computer only need to be on the same Wi‑Fi, and everything happens on your network. Only buying Pro or signing in needs the internet.

Does it work with Windows?

Not yet. Glancio works with Macs today, and Windows is on the way.

Is it OK to leave a phone plugged in all day?

Usually, yes. If your phone offers a charge limit or battery protection setting, turn it on. Don’t use a phone whose battery is swollen, damaged or gets hot.

How much will it cost?

Glancio is free: Clock, Focus, System, Developer, Nightstand, Countdown and coding-agent alerts, and Glancio for Mac costs nothing. Glancio Pro adds the Deck, Now playing, Meetings, On air, a Teleprompter, AI Usage, more styles, and Pro on all your devices. Pro is $2.99 a month, or $24.99 a year with the first 7 days free. Prices vary by country.

What do you collect?

Your computer’s data never leaves your Wi‑Fi. If you sign in for Pro, we keep your email, your purchases and the names of your devices. Anonymous usage stats, which you can turn off, help us improve Glancio. See the privacy policy.

Stop checking. Just look.
