TracePort vs XConnect

TracePort streams your computer to your iPhone or iPad — and, unlike most remote desktop clients, it lets you actually type once you get there. The stock iOS keyboard has no modifiers, no arrows and no function keys, and it covers the field you are typing into. TracePort rebuilds that part. A KEYBOARD LINE WITH THE KEYS A KEYBOARD HAS Modifiers, esc, tab, return, delete, arrows, home, end, page up, page down, insert and F1-F12, in one scrolling row above the system keyboard. No paging, no hunting. BUILD YOUR OWN KEYS Long-press any key to move it closer or take it off. Add new ones from a menu that walks you through the modifier combination and the key it fires. Group them, tick the ones you want on screen, and they stay put per host. A MACRO PAD IN THE BLACK MARGINS The letterbox either side of a 16:9 stream on a phone is dead space. TracePort puts a short column of your own macros there, out of the picture. LAUNCH APPLICATIONS A macro can open Spotlight, type an application's name and press return — faster than aiming at a dock icon over a video stream. THE PICTURE MOVES SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU ARE TYPING The keyboard covers half the screen, and the field you are typing into is usually in the covered half. TracePort asks the host where its caret is and lifts the picture just far enough to clear it. When the focused application will not report one, it uses the pointer instead. When the host has nothing to offer, the picture stays where it is rather than guessing. CHINESE, JAPANESE AND KOREAN INPUT THAT WORKS An input method offers numbered candidates and the on-screen keyboard cannot reach them, so CJK input never worked properly from a phone. Digits 1-9 sit in front of the arrows. Now it works. MULTIPLE DISPLAYS Switch the host between displays from a key, and pinch to zoom so you can read a corner of a 4K desktop on a phone. EVERYTHING MOONLIGHT DOES, IT STILL DOES This is a fork of Moonlight, not a rewrite. The protocol, the decoder and the streaming path are Moonlight's: H.264, HEVC and AV1, up to 4K120, HDR, low latency, game controllers, and hosts running Sunshine or NVIDIA GameStream. WHAT YOU NEED A computer on your network — or reachable over your own VPN or Tailscale — running Sunshine (free and open source) or NVIDIA GameStream. TracePort talks to that machine directly. Nothing passes through any server of ours, because there isn't one. PRIVACY No analytics, no crash reporting, no account, no telemetry. Nothing leaves your device. FREE SOFTWARE TracePort is GPL v3. The complete source is at github.com/harrison001/traceport — you can read every line and build it yourself.

XConnect brings SSH, Telnet, SFTP and Windows Remote Desktop together in one app built for iPhone. Manage Linux servers, reach Windows machines and move files, all from your pocket. REMOTE DESKTOP THAT WORKS ON A PHONE XConnect includes a full RDP client, not screen mirroring. Switch between trackpad and direct touch, scroll with two fingers, pinch to zoom, right-click, and use a hardware keyboard with sticky modifier keys. A TERMINAL MADE FOR TOUCH • A dedicated key row puts arrows, Ctrl and other essentials above the keyboard • Full-screen mode for long sessions • SSH with password or key authentication, plus Telnet for legacy devices • Jump hosts work like OpenSSH ProxyJump, so you can reach servers on private networks AN AI ASSISTANT THAT GETS THINGS DONE Describe the task, such as "check how much disk space is left", and the assistant plans it, runs the commands on your server, reads the real output and reports back. Before anything destructive, it stops and asks for your confirmation. Connect the AI provider of your choice. SCRIPTS, READY TO RUN Start with ready-made scripts for backups, disk usage, Docker, listening ports, failed services and more. View and edit them on your phone, or write your own, then run them on any connected server. SFTP FILE MANAGEMENT Browse remote directories, filter by files or folders, and upload or download with a tap. LOCAL FIRST, PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your connections, groups, scripts and keys are stored encrypted on your device. No account is needed to use SSH, Telnet and SFTP. When you want your setup on more devices, turn on sync: it is end-to-end encrypted, so the server never sees your data in plain text. XCONNECT PRO Free: SSH, Telnet, SFTP, the script library and one jump host. Pro unlocks: • Remote Desktop (RDP) • The AI assistant • Running scripts from the terminal • Unlimited jump hosts • End-to-end encrypted cloud sync across your devices XConnect Pro is available as an auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Pro is tied to your XConnect account, so sign in first to subscribe.
