Remotly vs Desktop Mirroring

Remotly turns your iPhone or iPad into a fast, secure remote desktop for your Windows PC. Work, support, and play games remotely — in up to 4K with HDR and up to 120 fps, built on Mirillis' award-winning streaming technology known from Action!. FOR WORK AND STUDY • Connect to any of your Windows PCs in a few taps — stable connection, ultra-low latency, and crisp image quality. • Full keyboard, mouse, trackpad, and Apple Pencil support. • Switch between the remote PC's monitors, or change its resolution to fit your screen. • Voice chat during a session — work with colleagues or help family in real time. • Picture in Picture: keep an eye on the remote screen while using other apps. FOR GAMING • Play your PC games on iPhone or iPad in stunning quality — up to 4K at up to 120 fps, with ultra-low latency and low battery usage. • True HDR streaming with 10-bit color — a rarity among remote access apps. • Use any Bluetooth game controller (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Joy-Con, and more) or play with on-screen controls. • Fully customizable control layouts: build your own touch layouts with joysticks, buttons, and touchpads in the built-in editor. CONNECT FROM ANYWHERE • Direct P2P connections with bitrate up to 100 Mbps, plus the Connect Anywhere cloud when a direct link isn't possible — double NAT and firewalls are not a problem. • Connect via your device list, a one-time connection code, or an invitation with controlled, time-limited access. • Choose your preferred relay server, or run your own private relay for full data ownership. • Wake-on-LAN: wake your PC remotely and get to work. SECURITY FIRST • End-to-end encryption of the entire transmission: AES-256 for data streams, TLS 1.2/1.3, RSA-4096 key exchange. • Two-step device authorization for new devices connecting to your PC. • Sign in with your Microsoft or Google account; enterprise integration with Microsoft Entra ID (Active Directory). REQUIREMENTS Remotly requires the free Remotly host application installed on your Windows PC (Windows 7, 8.1, 10, or 11). Download it at remotly.com. The interface is available in English, Polish, Spanish, French, Turkish, Portuguese (Brazil), and Simplified Chinese.

Desktop Mirroring - your Mac's screen, right in your pocket Your Mac is across the room and you just need to use it. Is the build done? Did the download finish? What was that notification? Your Mac mini is plugged into the TV and there is no monitor on the desk. Desktop Mirroring puts a live, readable view of your Mac's screen on your iPhone or iPad - connected in one tap over your own Wi-Fi - and lets you work it from there. MADE TO BE REACHED Not everyone can sit down at a computer. If you are bedridden, recovering, or cannot sit upright for long, the Mac on your desk is out of reach and the phone in your hand is the only computer you can actually use. Desktop Mirroring closes that gap: the Mac's screen comes to your device, and your taps, swipes and typing go back to the Mac. No extra hardware, no second computer, nothing to stretch for. HOW IT WORKS Connect in one tap - Your Mac runs a small menu-bar tool. On the same Wi-Fi, your iPhone finds it automatically. No accounts, no pairing codes, no cables. Tap your Mac's name and you are looking at it. Use it from where you are - Move the pointer, tap, scroll, drag and type. The controls stay simple: a trackpad-style surface, a keyboard, and a few keys for Mission Control and Esc. Read it from across the room - High-resolution mirroring over your local network, so windows, menus and tabs stay readable. The stream adapts its bitrate to your connection instead of stalling. Look in from anywhere - Not on the same Wi-Fi? Turn on Remote in the Mac app and view your Mac's screen over iCloud, with your own Apple ID. Remote is view only: over the internet the app only looks. MORE TO LOVE Pick the display you share - Multi-display Mac? Choose which display gets mirrored from the Mac menu bar. Private by design - On your Wi-Fi the video and your input go straight between your devices. Remote view runs through your own private iCloud. No sign-ups, no third-party servers. Works with any Mac - MacBook, iMac, Mac mini: if it runs macOS, it is ready. Free to try - Full use, free, for 3 days after your first connection. After that, Premium keeps it going.
