Remote Terminal Pro vs SimBeam

Remote Terminal turns your iPhone or iPad into a remote control for a computer you already own. Pair with a quick QR scan from the desktop agent, then run a full interactive shell, browse folders, and transfer files—without leaving your couch or office. HOW IT WORKS • Install the Remote Terminal desktop agent on your computer. • Open the app on your device and scan the QR code shown on the desktop monitor. • Choose Terminal to access your system's native shell—or open Files to browse and transfer items on the desktop. TERMINAL • Live command output with a phone-friendly keyboard and shortcuts. • Reconnect after sleep, travel, or network changes; your session can stay reserved on the host computer. • Select your preferred command-line environment before you connect. FILES • Browse allowed folders on the desktop (you can configure which folders to share). • Download files to your phone and upload from your device when the desktop agent allows it. SECURITY YOU CONTROL • Optional join password on the desktop—required for session-ID pairing when enabled. • Pairing uses your own backend or our hosted service; the desktop agent must be running and online. • Camera access is only used to scan QR codes. REQUIREMENTS • A Remote Terminal desktop agent running on the computer you want to control. • Network access between your device and the pairing server (local network or internet, depending on your setup). Remote Terminal is built for owners and power users who want real shell access from mobile—not a simplified fake terminal. Download the desktop agent from our site or GitHub releases, then connect with this app.

SimBeam turns your iPhone or iPad into a live remote for the iOS Simulators running on your Mac. Pair the app with your Mac once by scanning a QR code, then connect any time to see all the simulators on that Mac, open any one of them, and watch its screen as a real-time video stream. Your taps, swipes, and the Home button are sent straight back to the simulator, so you can actually use it from your device — not just look at it. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every simulator on a paired Mac, with its iOS version and status • Stream a simulator's screen live, with low latency • Control it remotely — tap, swipe, and press Home • Boot or shut down a simulator right from your device • Jump back into recent simulators in one tap from the main screen • Pair and keep multiple Macs, and switch between them any time BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS AND QA Test how a build feels in the hand without unplugging from your desk. Show a running simulator to a colleague across the room. Keep an eye on a long scenario from the couch. REQUIRES A MAC SimBeam is a companion to the SimBeam app on macOS. You need a Mac running the SimBeam companion with at least one iOS Simulator to pair with and stream from. Pairing is secure and takes a single scan. PRIVACY Your pairing identity stays on your device. SimBeam has no account to create, shows no ads, and does not track you.
