Enjoy the freedom to work from anywhere. Jump Desktop is a remote desktop application that lets you securely connect to any computer in the world. Compatible with both RDP and VNC, Jump Desktop is secure, reliable and very easy to set up.

* Secure:
Jump encrypts the connection between computers to ensure privacy and security. Automatic connections are always encrypted by default. Supports NLA, TLS/SSL encryption for RDP. SSH Tunnelling and SSL/TLS encryption for VNC. Fluid Remote Desktop uses DTLS for secure connections.

Great for editing documents with coworkers, tweaking designs with remote team members, creating presentations together, and teaching Grandma how to clean out her email.

THE remote desktop app
Larry F 13
I’ve used this app for at least five years and it has has honestly performed flawlessly. It connects to our remote server very quickly, no lag time on the keystrokes… it does exactly what you need it to do. I run it on my Mac, my ipad and my iphone. There has been many a road trip where I had to access my desktop on my phone for an emergency file and it does the trick. Oh, and here’s a protip: Your boss is on vacation. You cut out early for the day. If you respond to an email from your boss, he or she can totally tell when your email is coming from your iPhone; it is formatted differently than a regular email originated from Outlook. If you get that email from your boss, you log onto to the Jump app, go onto your Outlook and it’s as if you sent it from your very own desk. You think this would be common knowledge, but I can’t tell you how many people i’ve seen send email from their phones in the middle of the day. Rookie mistake! But, i digress… GREAT APP!!!
Pretty Awesome—ish but becoming hard to work with.

I really like this especially Fluid Remote Desktop. It’s been some time since there has been any significant updates and it is starting to show it’s age.It would be great if they came out with a Linux version so that you can remote INTO Mac using Fluid, that is the big game changer that makes this app worth it, it’s also the thing that makes me step back to other apps. It’s nice when I can use it, but it becomes impossible in many workflows. To that same end, the key mapping or re-mapping was tolerable in the beginning, but it also becomes a huge problem, especially when working on the iPad. It seems that the competitor "screens "has solved the modifier key, remapping problem, while this app has struggled when you use an application that has a lot of key bindings. The key mapping makes it nearly impossible to use in those circumstances. Sometime you end up with remapping colliding with application keybinding so it becomes completely unusable when using Jump for Remote Desktop. I think it’s time you license Fluid to Screens, or get back in the game.
Works Perfectly

Just writing a review as I searched for a while to find a good RDP for my Mac. I tried all the free (and almost free) apps with limited success. I finally decided you get what you pay for and it worked. It connects every time, no matter where I am. No lags in keystrokes or freezing or hanging up unless the public network connection I’m on is very slow. When that happens I just connect via Personal Hotspot and its full speed ahead again. I also like that the app automatically sizes itself to the screen it’s on so it’s full screen when I’m on the road or in my home office with a larger monitor. I work at home and on the road and our company moved to a new business suite that runs in an RDP environment and is used for almost everything I do. I need an RDP progam that will stay up and on all day, not just something I jump in and out of occaisionally and this one works perfectly.

J. D. is a VNC client that works reliaby and simply in my work with development and image processing with linux machines. I recommend J.D. for work with remote IDEs/terminals and for modest performance requirements involving image/video processing. It has tolerable performance for IDE-work even over older generation home Wifi routers + Cisco VPN; for prolonged work with display>1600x1200, home ethernet (1 Gbit) + VPN is more comfortable. Video streaming over J.D. appears to have ~1-10 Hz updates at ~1600x1200 on a 100 MBs capacity network at work. My servers are running CentOS + tiger VNC. J.D. has all the features I’ve needed for daily use with multiple linux servers for ~4 years and intermittent use previously. I’ve never had complaints. I haven’t made careful comparisons with Jolly’s VNC but for me they appear functionally equivalent.Just today realized that J.D. works for Windows as well.
