The remote desktop doesn't require a VPN, or suck. It starts and stops itself via hardware-backed ephemeral sessions. We’ve rebuilt remote desktop geometry from the ground up to bring the full power of your Mac to your iPad and iPhoneβ€”without the lag, the bloat, or the security risks of a traditional VPN. -- Bougie Remote Desktop -- No VPN Required: Hardware-backed keys handle the handshake. It’s cleaner, faster, and actually secure. Ephemeral Sessions: The connection exists only when you’re in it. It wakes your Mac when you arrive and locks it down the second you leave. Native Geometry: We aren't just streaming pixels. We rebuilt the stack so your Mac finally feels like it belongs on a touchscreen.
