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.

Bloom converts files on your iPhone. Not on a server somewhere — on the device in your hand. Drop in a photo, a video, a song, a document. Bloom works out what it actually is by reading the file itself rather than trusting its name, shows you every format it can become, and converts it in about a second. A flower opens while it works. When the flower is open, you're done. NOTHING IS EVER UPLOADED Most converters ask you to hand your files to a stranger's server. Bloom has no server. Turn on airplane mode and it behaves exactly the same, because nothing was ever going anywhere. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. WHAT IT CONVERTS Images — HEIC, JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, BMP, GIF, RAW, PDF Video — MOV, MP4, M4V, AVI, MKV, WebM, and to GIF Audio — MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, AIFF, CAF Documents — TXT, Markdown, HTML, JSON, CSV, XML, EPUB, PDF BUILT FOR YOUR IPHONE A camera recording usually converts without re-encoding at all, so it takes a second and loses nothing. Spatial audio and orientation are handled properly. Live Text, Shortcuts and the share sheet all work. THOUGHTFUL THROUGHOUT Five themes with matching icons. Size estimates before you commit. VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion supported properly. History that cleans up after itself so it never quietly fills your phone. FREE, AND PRO Three conversions a day are free forever, with no account. Bloom Pro removes the limit and adds batch conversion, highest-quality output, image compression and every theme. $19.99/year with a 3-day free trial, or $4.99/month.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Remio at free against Bloom's freemium. Remio also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Remio sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and Bloom sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Remio against 5.0 for Bloom. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remio has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
