Your computer. In your hands. Literally. Remio turns your phone or tablet into a pixel-perfect, buttery-smooth window to your Mac or Windows PC. Ultra-low latency. High-resolution streaming with hardware acceleration. Every tap, scroll, and gesture feels like you're sitting right at your desk. ▸ CONNECT IN SECONDS No accounts. No VPNs. No complicated setup. Open the app, scan the QR code on your computer — or type in a short device code — and you're connected. It's that simple. ▸ BUILT FOR REAL WORK • Ultra-high resolution streaming with hardware decoding — crystal-clear text and visuals, even on high-resolution displays • Ultra-low latency — responsive enough for precision work and fast-paced tasks • Full keyboard with native shortcut support — copy, paste, switch apps, all work seamlessly. The keyboard even appears automatically the moment you tap a text field on your computer. • Dynamic Resolution — the remote screen reshapes to fit your device the instant you rotate or change orientation, with no flicker and no restart. Or dial in any custom resolution you like. • Live audio — hear your computer's sound right on your device, perfectly in sync with the picture • Clipboard sync — copy on your computer, paste on your phone, and vice versa • Gamepad support — connect an Xbox, PlayStation, or MFi controller and play remotely • Picture-in-Picture — keep your computer visible while you use other apps • Region zoom — pinch to zoom into any area of your screen for detail work • See your computers before you connect — each one shows a live preview of its screen, right on the home screen ▸ TOUCH & GESTURES THAT MAKE SENSE Remio's input system was built from scratch for touch, with two ways to control your computer — switch between them anytime: • Touchpad mode — your screen becomes a precision trackpad, with a real cursor you can hover before you click. • Direct Touch mode — your finger acts like a real touchscreen. Tap exactly where you see it, no cursor to chase. Either way, the gestures feel completely natural: • Tap to click, two-finger tap to right-click • Two-finger scroll, pinch to zoom, press-and-hold to drag • Three-finger swipe to move between desktops and Spaces, open Mission Control, or reveal all your windows — exactly like a Magic Trackpad • Assign any keyboard shortcut to a three- or four-finger tap for one-touch access to your favorite command • A built-in gesture guide is always a tap away, so every control is easy to discover ▸ A BEAUTIFUL, LIVING HOME Remio has been redesigned from the ground up with a calm, celestial dark look and soft, translucent glass. Your computers float in a gentle constellation, with a large card spotlighting the one you're about to open — and every screen glides and morphs into the next, so the whole app feels like one continuous, effortless experience. ▸ YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS All streaming data between your devices is end-to-end encrypted. Your sessions are never stored, recorded, or accessible by anyone — including us. Device pairing is secured through industry-standard authentication, and everything else stays between your own devices. No tracking. No ads. No behavioral profiling. Your privacy is the default, not an option you have to enable. ▸ 100% NATIVE Remio is built natively from the ground up for this platform — from the streaming engine to the settings screen. That means better performance, lower battery drain, and a smooth experience you can feel. ▸ HOW IT WORKS 1. Install Remio Host on your computer (free at remio.net) 2. Open Remio on your phone or tablet and scan the QR code — or enter the code shown on your computer 3. You're connected. No account needed. No subscription. ▸ EVERYTHING INCLUDED Every feature above is available to everyone today, right out of the box. Just a great remote desktop experience — download it and connect.
