Headroom

Remote Desktop

Your Mac, from anywhere

Your Mac in the next room. Your headless Mac mini in the closet. Right on your iPad — nothing to install on the Mac. Turn on macOS's built-in Screen Sharing and you are connected.

What it does

01

One minute of setup on the Mac

Connects straight to macOS's built-in Screen Sharing (VNC). No server app, no agents. Macs on the same Wi-Fi are discovered automatically via Bonjour, with manual IP entry too.

02

Smooth rendering

Metal rendering and ZRLE compression keep it feeling close to real time on a LAN, and resilient on thin connections.

03

Touch or mouse

On iPad and iPhone: tap to click, long-press to drag, pinch to zoom. On the Mac version, clicks, drags and right-clicks are forwarded one-to-one.

04

A full keyboard

Software and hardware keyboards both work, including ⌘⌥⌃⇧ modifiers. Handy for headless Mac minis and build servers.

Made for iPhone Duo

Half open like a laptop, the Mac is on the upper screen and the keyboard on the lower one — the Mac you left at your desk becomes a notebook that fits in your pocket.

Half open

Half open

The Mac on the upper screen, the control bar just above the fold, the keyboard on the lower screen. The keyboard comes up by itself when you fold, and stays when you open it flat again. Nothing crosses the fold.

Closed

Closed

The outer display works on its own, with the control bar down the side so your Mac gets the full height.

Fully open

Fully open

Your Mac fills the inner display with the controls along the bottom. Held like a book, the control bar moves to the side.

17 languages

The screens and the help come in seventeen languages.

iPhone, iPad and Mac

One app reaches your Mac from an iPhone, an iPad or another Mac.

No account, no server

No account and no server of ours. The screen and your input travel only between your own devices.

English (US and UK), Japanese, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Korean, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish
