## What is Reachbeam?

Reachbeam puts your computers within reach.

Most remote-desktop apps just shrink a mouse-and-keyboard screen onto glass. Reachbeam is built for touch from the ground up — a purpose-built gesture engine turns natural taps, drags, and pinches into precise remote control.

Reach any machine
• RDP — control a Windows PC's full desktop, with Network Level Authentication (NLA)
• VNC / RFB — connect to TigerVNC, x11vnc, RealVNC, UltraVNC, and more
• macOS Screen Sharing — connects to any Mac out of the box (Apple Remote Desktop auth)
• SSH terminal — a real shell with the native keyboard, password or private-key login, TOFU host-key verification, and local port-forwarding
• VNC-over-SSH — route a VNC session through an SSH host in one tap

Touch that feels right
• Three input modes: Trackpad (relative cursor), Touchscreen (tap where you touch), Stylus
• Pinch-to-zoom anchored to your fingers, two-finger pan, edge auto-pan
• Scroll anywhere with iOS-style flick momentum
• Quick-actions menu from the screen edge: Copy, Paste, Esc, Tab, Ctrl+Alt+Del, and more
• Tap = click, long-press = right-click — no fumbling

A keyboard that actually works
• Your native iOS keyboard, plus a special-keys bar: Esc, Tab, Ctrl/Alt/Cmd/AltGr, arrows, F1–F12, Home/End/PgUp/PgDn, one-tap Ctrl+Alt+Del and Alt+Tab
• Real X11 keysyms — the modifiers and function keys other clients get wrong

Apple Pencil
• Hover support for true remote mouse-hover — tooltips and menus without clicking
• Squeeze to open the edge quick-actions menu (Pro)
• Auto-switches to stylus mode the moment you touch with a Pencil

Built for real use
• Saved connections with folders, per-connection quality and input settings
• Credentials stored in the device Keychain/Keystore, optional Face ID / Touch ID unlock
• Auto-reconnect, clipboard sync, adaptive quality
• LAN device discovery — scans your network and fills the connection form in one tap

Reachbeam Pro
• Open several remote machines at once and switch between live tabs — sessions stay connected in the background
• Jump between individual monitors on the remote machine in one tap
• Custom keyboard shortcuts and macros — define your own key combos and text snippets, fired from the quick-actions menu
• Apple Pencil Pro squeeze → edge quick-actions menu (Pro only)
