AetherDesk
Lightweight Mac Remote Desktop
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Control your Mac from iPhone and iPad over Apple Screen Sharing (VNC). Cursor-follow view, iPad split layout, two-finger right-click and English key-in.
AetherDesk is a Mac remote desktop client for iPhone and iPad. Connect to a Mac you are authorized to access, view its desktop, move the pointer, and enter text from your mobile device.
Keep your connections organized
Save frequently used Mac connections with your own names. Choose whether to store each connection password in the local device Keychain.
Touch controls for a desktop
Move the remote pointer with one finger, tap to click, long-press to drag, pinch to zoom, and slide with three fingers to scroll. The control toolbar provides keyboard and right-click actions.
Adjust your session
Switch between view-only and control modes and select display and quality options. On iPad, use a layout designed for the larger screen.
Before you connect
You need an authorized Mac with Screen Sharing enabled and a network path to that Mac. Performance depends on your network and remote computer. AetherDesk does not provide hosted computers or configure public internet access for you.
The current text-sending feature supports ASCII text sent one line at a time; it is not full two-way system clipboard synchronization. Use trusted networks or a separately configured protected network connection. Do not expose your Mac's VNC service directly to an untrusted public network.
