Glassy Desk vs Remote Mac Desktop Control

Reach your Mac from your iPhone, iPad, or iPhone Duo. Check on a headless Mac mini, the Mac Studio in the closet, or your build machine, and keep an eye on long builds, renders, and AI agents without getting up. Check on your Mac for free. Go Pro for unlimited sessions with a monthly or yearly plan, or pay once with Lifetime. No account to create. TWO WAYS TO CONNECT • Standard VNC uses the Screen Sharing built into macOS. Nothing to download on the Mac. • Fast Connection uses the free Glassy Desk for Mac app: up to 4K at 60 FPS, hardware H.264 video that adapts to your network, and an encrypted link straight to your Mac. MADE FOR HEADLESS MACS • Wake a sleeping Mac with Wake-on-LAN, then connect • Reconnect automatically after short network drops • Reach your Mac from outside your home or office through a VPN such as Tailscale • Pick which display to show when the Mac has more than one WATCH YOUR MAC WHILE YOU WORK • Keep a session in Picture in Picture while you use other apps • Connect in one tap with Siri, Shortcuts, and the Quick Connect and My Macs widgets • Show the Mac on an external display and use your device as the controller REAL KEYS AND A REAL POINTER • Direct touch or trackpad mode, with tap, drag, right-click, scroll, and pinch to zoom • Command, Option, Control, arrow, and function keys, plus common shortcuts, from the on-screen or a hardware keyboard • Apple Pencil as a precise pointer, with hover and double-tap or squeeze actions • Paste text from your device onto the Mac FILES BOTH WAYS Send files and photos to the Mac's Downloads folder, and bring files selected in the Mac's Finder into the Files app. (Fast Connection) MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Layouts adapt as you fold and unfold. Stand it up half-folded and the lower half becomes a trackpad, with an optional keyboard and special keys. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No cloud relay: connections go straight to the computer you choose • Curtain Mode covers the Mac's screen and blocks its local keyboard and mouse while you work remotely (Fast Connection) • Lock Glassy Desk with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode, and hide remote screens in the app switcher • Saved Macs sync through your private iCloud database, and passwords are stored encrypted COMPATIBILITY Standard VNC is designed and tested with macOS Screen Sharing and Remote Management; other standards-based VNC servers may work. Fast Connection requires Glassy Desk for Mac on macOS 14 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. Connecting from outside your network requires a VPN or other route to the Mac.
