How to access my Macbook Pro with my iPhone remotely?

How integrated are Apple's product? I want to remotely access my Macbook Pro with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. It does not have to be outside my home/network. Basically if I'm rendering some videos, I want to check if it's done or not via my iPhone instead of running to my office to check the status. If possible, I like to access remotely without running other paid third-party apps.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.0

They are very well integrated, but not that way. There is no built in way to remotely access a Mac from an iPhone like that.


You will need a 3rd party App to remotely access the Mac and view its screen.
