Tomaco vs Farroom

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.

Your computers and PC games, on iPhone and iPad. Use touch controls on iPhone or a spacious workspace with keyboard and pointer support on iPad. On iPhone Duo with iOS 27.1, unfold for a larger desktop or partially fold for a desktop above a trackpad or keyboard. FOUR WAYS TO CONNECT • Mac Screen Sharing: Apple High Performance streaming on compatible Apple-silicon Macs, with physical or virtual desktops and host-supported computer audio. Choose all physical displays or an individual monitor. • RDP: connect to supported Windows and Linux desktops, with text and image clipboard sharing and host-supported audio. Transfer files and folders with Pro when the server supports clipboard file redirection. • VNC: connect to compatible Mac, Windows and Linux servers. Adjust image quality and compression on supporting servers and choose a monitor when the server supplies its layout. • Sunshine: stream a desktop or configured app from a separately installed Sunshine host. Use a compatible controller or the on-screen gamepad. Choose HEVC or H.264 and adjust stream size, frame rate, bitrate and stereo audio quality. Optional HDR needs a compatible host, decoder and display. CONTROLS THAT FIT Click, drag, scroll and type.

YOUR CONNECTION, YOUR SETUP No Farroom account, relay or Farroom helper app. Your computer needs a supported remote-access server and a reachable address. Away from home, you can use a separately installed private-network app such as Tailscale. Farroom does not provide a VPN. KNOW YOUR CONNECTION Quality, frame rate, HDR, sound and available controls depend on the host, network and viewing device. Sunshine display selection is managed on the host; it has no clipboard or file transfer. Controller rumble depends on controller and host support. Unicode text input depends on the host; a US keyboard compatibility mode is available. VNC has no audio and supports Latin-1 text clipboard only. RDP images and files need host clipboard support; Windows Home cannot host built-in RDP. Linux support depends on its desktop and server. Microphone forwarding and session recording are unavailable. Mobile systems may suspend background sessions. Saved passwords stay in device Keychain. Optional iCloud setup sync excludes passwords, certificate approvals, desktop images, audio and clipboard contents. SUBSCRIPTIONS Monthly and yearly Pro renew automatically unless canceled. Eligible yearly subscribers receive a 14-day free trial. Local prices and eligibility appear before purchase. Manage or cancel through Apple Account subscriptions.
