Ramen Remote Desktop

Features
Read full description

Ramen turns your iPad or iPhone into a fast, native window to your Mac. It connects to the Screen Sharing built into every Mac โ€” over your own Wi-Fi or VPN โ€” and serves your Mac's screen with a native pointer, hardware-keyboard support, and smooth Metal rendering. No account. No cloud. No relay servers. Your screen travels straight from your Mac to your hand. MADE FOR REAL WORK โ€ข Tap to click, or flip to trackpad mode โ€” your finger moves the cursor like on a trackpad โ€ข Press and hold, then drag, to move windows and select text โ€ข Hardware keyboards, trackpads, and mice just work โ€” hover, right-click, and scroll included โ€ข A shelf of Mac keys: โŒ˜ โŒฅ โŒƒ modifiers, arrows, Esc, Tab, function keys, and common shortcuts โ€ข Pinch to zoom, and a magnifier loupe that makes small Mac text readable on an iPhone โ€ข Multiple displays: see them all at once or focus on one โ€ข Quality presets from rich color to light-on-data (16-bit) for slower links THE COMFORTS โ€ข Keep the Mac awake while you're connected โ€” and optionally lock it when you disconnect โ€ข Keep your device's screen on while you watch a long task or a dashboard โ€ข Type your clipboard on the Mac as real keystrokes โ€” works in login windows, password fields, and sudo prompts โ€ข Type a saved password with Face ID โ€” a lifesaver at the macOS login screen โ€ข A quick app switch won't drop your session, and Ramen reconnects when the connection hiccups PRIVATE BY DESIGN โ€ข No account, no analytics, no telemetry โ€” Ramen collects nothing at all โ€ข Passwords stay in your device's Keychain, behind Face ID โ€ข Everything runs on your own network: home Wi-Fi, or your VPN (Tailscale, WireGuardโ€ฆ) when away AN HONEST MENU Ramen is made for reaching your own Macs, and it's small on purpose: โ€ข You need a Mac with Screen Sharing turned on, reachable from your device. There are no relay servers, so away from home you'll want a VPN such as Tailscale or WireGuard. โ€ข File transfer, remote audio, and Windows/Linux hosts aren't on the menu (yet). โ€ข macOS doesn't let third-party apps read the Mac's clipboard over Screen Sharing โ€” so copying from the Mac isn't possible; typing your device's clipboard to the Mac works great. SET UP IN A MINUTE 1. On your Mac: System Settings โ†’ General โ†’ Sharing โ†’ turn on Screen Sharing 2. In Ramen: Add Mac, enter its address (like yourmac.local) and your Mac login 3. Done. Your Mac, served. Ramen is free while it grows. If something doesn't taste right โ€” or you're hungry for a feature โ€” tell me: bartek@rozkrut.pl

Verdict

The call
