One connection is free, with every protocol. No account, no card, no relay. YOUR MAC, LIKE YOU NEVER LEFT • High Performance Screen Sharing on Macs with Apple silicon: hardware-decoded video up to 5K, the Mac’s own sound, and one or two virtual displays sized to your screen. • High dynamic range on iPhones and iPads whose screens can show it, so photos and video keep their highlights. • Standard sessions use Apple’s own codec, so text stays sharp.

FILES, ONE TAP AWAY • Browse servers and NAS drives over SFTP, and preview files with Quick Look. • Upload from Files and Photos, or drag files in.
