Desktap

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 iPhone—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.
