The free remote desktop for iPhone and iPad — sized to your screen, up to 6K at 120 FPS. Remio is a free, 100% native remote desktop. Reach your Mac, Windows PC or Linux machine and it feels like you're sitting at it — every touch lands right away and text stays crisp. ▸ FREE TO USE Remio and Remio Host are free to use, at home or at work. No time limit, no ads, no commercial-use detection, no card to enter. ▸ CONNECT IN SECONDS Scan its QR code or type its Device ID and PIN. No account, no router config, no IT department. Install the free Remio Host on your computer, open Remio, and you're in. ▸ FEELS LIKE YOUR MACHINE • The remote desktop reshapes itself to your window — live, pixel-perfect, like it's your machine. Rotate your iPhone or iPad and it follows. • One perfect screen — a dedicated virtual display sized exactly to your device, not a squeezed copy of the host's monitor • Up to 6K at 120 FPS with hardware H.265, end to end • About 8 ms of processing latency on your local network — the rest is your display's own refresh • HDR from a Mac with Apple silicon — on an iPhone or iPad with an HDR screen, your desktop shows the brightness and color it really has • Close the MacBook lid. Keep working. No dummy HDMI dongle — ever. ▸ TOUCH THAT MAKES SENSE • Trackpad mode turns your screen into a precision trackpad. Direct Touch lets you tap exactly where you see it. • Tap to click, two-finger tap to right-click, scroll, pinch to zoom, press and hold to drag • Three-finger swipes move between desktops and open Mission Control. Put any shortcut on a three- or four-finger tap. • The on-screen keyboard never covers what you're typing, and it opens the moment you tap a text field on your computer • Keyboard shortcuts carry through — with a real Windows key for Windows and Linux computers • Point, tap and scroll with Apple Pencil. Bring a keyboard or trackpad to your iPad and it just works. • Play with your controller — buttons map to your games ▸ A SECOND SCREEN FOR YOUR COMPUTER Make your iPhone or iPad an extra display for your Mac, Windows PC or Linux computer and move windows over to it. It extends your desktop instead of copying it, your computer's own screens stay on, and it works at home or away, straight between your devices — never through a relay or Remio's servers. Needs Remio Host 3.2.2 on a Mac or a Windows PC, or Remio Host 3.2 on Linux (GNOME or X11); away from your own network, the latest Remio Host. ▸ BUILT FOR IPHONE DUO Fold it halfway and it's a mini laptop — your computer on top, the keyboard below the hinge. Open it flat for the whole desktop. The session carries on as you open, close and fold. ▸ EVERYTHING WITHIN REACH Tap the Remio button and every control sits on one board — keyboard, zoom, volume, files, apps, displays and settings. Drag anything to where your thumb lives; Remio remembers the layout. • Hear your computer's audio right on your device — in sync with the screen • Copy on one device, paste on the other — text with any computer, pictures too with a Mac • Send files straight to your computer • Type your clipboard into sign-in screens and apps that block paste • Pick which of your computer's screens to view • Blank your computer's screen while you work, or lock it from here • Picture in Picture keeps your computer in view while you use other apps • Your session stays on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while you're elsewhere ▸ PRIVATE BY DESIGN Video, audio, input, clipboard and files are encrypted end to end — even the relay only sees ciphertext. Direct peer-to-peer by default; encrypted relay only when your network demands it. No ads, no data brokers — your screen content is never logged or inspected. ▸ WORKS WITH YOUR COMPUTERS Remio Host — free at remio.net — runs on macOS, Windows and Linux. Remio also runs on Mac, Windows PCs, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro. Terms of Use: https://remio.net/terms Privacy Policy: https://remio.net/privacy
