Summary
Code in Google app v17.36.12 points to a feature that would let users run tasks on a Mac from the Gemini mobile app, with prompts to download a desktop client at gemini.google/mac/.
New strings also show live status tracking for the paired computer, including “Mac last seen,” availability alerts and a control to disable the Mac from the phone interface.
A dedicated device picker appears to be in development for users managing multiple online computers under the same account, suggesting broader remote workflow support beyond a single machine.
The feature is tied to Gemini Spark, Google’s 24/7 AI agent unveiled at I/O 2026, and would extend Google’s earlier promise to bring local file handling and desktop automation to macOS later this summer.
The teardown does not confirm a release date, but the move would answer demand for mobile oversight of AI agents and mirrors OpenAI’s recent ChatGPT support for monitoring Codex on laptops and remote environments.
