RemoteX puts another computer's desktop on your iPhone or iPad. Connect to a Windows PC, a Linux machine, or a Mac running RemoteX, and work on it as if you were there. CONNECT TO ANYTHING THAT SPEAKS RDP • Windows PCs and servers with Remote Desktop turned on • Linux machines running xrdp • Macs running RemoteX for Mac, which turns a Mac into a machine you can reach • Saved connections, and your recent machines one tap away • Open a saved .remotex connection file from Files or another app MADE FOR TOUCH • Tap to click, drag to drag • Two-finger tap or long press for a right click • Two-finger swipe to scroll • The on-screen keyboard types straight into the remote machine, with autocorrect off so nothing gets changed on the way • A session gets the whole screen; the session toolbar has screenshots, Ctrl+Alt+Del and scaling GREAT WITH A KEYBOARD AND TRACKPAD • A hardware keyboard sends real keys, shortcuts and function keys included • A trackpad or mouse on iPad moves and clicks like a desktop pointer ENCRYPTED, AND NOBODY IN THE MIDDLE • Every session is wrapped in TLS 1.3, with AES-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 • Sessions go straight to the machine you connect to — there is no relay server in the middle • Can reach a machine at a .onion address through a Tor proxy you run yourself NO ACCOUNT, NO TELEMETRY There is no sign-in, no licence check and no analytics. RemoteX talks to the machines you point it at, and to nothing else. It is free, with no subscription and no paid tier.
