Rumskrot Remote turns your iPhone or iPad into a full remote desktop for your Mac — with zero setup on the host side.
Simply enable Screen Sharing in your Mac's System Settings, and Rumskrot Remote connects directly using the built-in VNC service. No agents to install. No configuration beyond flipping a switch.
ZERO INSTALLATION ON YOUR MAC
Rumskrot Remote speaks the same VNC/RFB protocol that macOS Screen Sharing uses natively. Your Mac is already ready — you just need to enable it.
DISCOVER MACS AUTOMATICALLY
Open the app and nearby Macs appear instantly via Bonjour network discovery. Tap to connect. That's it.
FAST, GPU-ACCELERATED DISPLAY
The remote desktop is rendered using Metal for smooth, responsive visuals. Supports all major VNC encodings including Tight, ZRLE, and Hextile for efficient bandwidth usage. Targets 30+ FPS on a local network with 120 Hz cursor tracking on ProMotion displays.
INTUITIVE TOUCH CONTROLS
- Drag to move the cursor
- Tap to click, two-finger tap to right-click
- Two-finger drag to scroll
- Pinch to zoom and pan
- Full keyboard with modifier keys (Command, Control, Option, Shift)
ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD BAR
A dedicated bar above the iOS keyboard adds the keys macOS expects but iOS doesn't have — arrow keys, Tab, Esc, F1–F12, Page Up/Down, Home/End, Forward Delete, plus Mission Control and App Exposé. Sticky modifier keys tap to arm and send with your next keystroke. Reorder or remove keys to fit your workflow, and auto-hide the bar when a hardware keyboard is connected.
CONNECT SECURELY
Supports macOS login credentials, VNC passwords, and Apple Remote Desktop authentication. All credentials are stored in your device's Keychain — never sent to any server or cloud service. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking.
SSH TUNNEL
For Macs that are only reachable through SSH, route the VNC connection over an SSH tunnel. The first connect verifies the server's host-key fingerprint; later connections refuse to send credentials if the host's identity ever changes. A per-host Forget button clears a pinned key when you reinstall a server.
AUTO-UNLOCK
Opt in per host to type your macOS password right after connecting, so you land at your desktop instead of the lock screen. Reuses your saved login password by default; the unlock password is stored separately in your device's Keychain.
MULTI-MONITOR SUPPORT
Choose which display to view when connected to a Mac with multiple monitors.
SNIPPETS FOR PRODUCTIVITY
Save frequently-used text snippets and paste them into your remote session with a single tap — perfect for commands, passwords, or boilerplate text.
