Remote Pane vs Tomaco

RemotePane is a fast, private remote desktop (RDP) client. Connect to your Windows PC, server, or workstation from your iPhone or iPad and control it as if you were sitting right in front of it. Built for speed and privacy: your connections and passwords are stored encrypted on your device, and RemotePane connects directly to your machine — there's no middleman relay, no account to create, and no tracking. FEATURES • Direct RDP connections to any machine with Remote Desktop enabled • Live desktop streaming that adapts to your screen resolution • Touch to move the pointer and tap to click, with an on-screen keyboard for typing • Save connections with host, username, and password encrypted in your device's keychain • One-tap reconnect to saved machines from a simple dropdown • Secure by default: NLA and TLS with certificate verification, so you're warned if a host's identity ever changes • No account, no sign-up, no telemetry, no ads PRIVACY FIRST RemotePane doesn't collect analytics or usage data. Saved hosts and passwords never leave your device — they're encrypted locally and used only to reach the machines you choose. Your session goes straight from your phone to your computer. HOW TO CONNECT 1. On your PC, enable Remote Desktop (Windows Pro or higher, or any compatible RDP server). 2. Make sure your device can reach the PC — on the same network, over a VPN, or through a tool like Tailscale. 3. In RemotePane, enter the host (and optional port), your username, and password, then tap Connect. 4. Optionally save the connection for instant access next time. GREAT FOR • Checking on a home or office PC while you're away • Quick admin tasks on servers and workstations • Reaching a desktop app from your phone • Anyone who wants a clean, no-nonsense RDP client RemotePane is a neutral tool for accessing computers you are authorized to use. You are responsible for ensuring you have permission to connect to any system you use it with. Questions or feedback? Reach us at contact@remotepane.com.

Tomaco does one thing: turn your iPhone or iPad into the best remote control for your Mac. Built exclusively for the Apple ecosystem — and because of that focus, every millisecond of latency and every frame of quality gets the attention it deserves. WHY TOMACO ■ Best-in-class picture A straight HEVC hardware encode/decode pipeline with up to 5K resolution and 120Hz ProMotion. Code and documents stay razor sharp. When the screen goes still, Tomaco automatically refines the frame to full clarity. ■ It feels right The pointer is rendered locally — it follows your finger instantly, fully decoupled from network latency. Two-finger scrolling has real inertia and rubber-banding. The cursor changes shape with content (I-beam over text, hand over links), just like a real trackpad. ■ Sound, zero setup Your Mac's system audio plays right on your iPhone/iPad. No virtual audio driver, no kernel extension, no reboot — connect and it just works. ■ Private by design Peer-to-peer on your local network: your screen and input never touch a third-party server. Secure Enclave hardware device keys, manual approval on first pairing, end-to-end encryption. ■ Remote made simple Away from home? Pair Tomaco with the free Tailscale app to reach your Mac securely from anywhere — a full guide is built in. Wake-on-LAN wakes a sleeping Mac remotely. FEATURES • Virtual Display: use a headless Mac with a dedicated 5K/120Hz screen (Pro) • Two-way clipboard sync and multi-file transfer • Smart shortcut bar that adapts to the frontmost Mac app (Pro) • Modifier keys bar: ⌘⌥⌃⇧ combos, Esc/Tab/arrows • Multi-display switching, auto-reconnect, adaptive quality on weak networks • Siri & Shortcuts: "Connect my Mac" • Trackpad mode (relative) and Touch mode (tap where you look) FREE & ONE-TIME PURCHASE The free tier is fully usable: no time limits, no ads. Tomaco Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks 5K, 120Hz, the smart shortcut bar, Virtual Display and multiple Macs. No subscription. Ever.
