Open Remote PRO

Crisp remote control, anywhere

$3.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Your Mac, crisp and smooth, on iPad, iPhone and iPhone Duo. Just like sitting in front of it. OPTIMIZED FOR IPHONE DUO • Folded, your Mac fits the outer display; unfolded, it becomes a real 7.6-inch desktop with laptop-like room. • The Mac's virtual monitor resizes the moment you fold or unfold: no reconnecting, no black bars. • A control bar that rearranges itself between the outer and inner display, a rotate button, and a rotation suggestion when you turn the phone. Open Remote PRO connects to the Screen Sharing built into macOS, the same service Apple Remote Desktop uses: nothing to install on the Mac, no account to create, and no data going through third-party servers. NO-COMPROMISE PICTURE • Full-color HEVC 4:4:4 video, hardware-decoded: text as sharp as on the Mac's own display, gradients and photos without fringing. • Smooth up to 60 fps with low latency: scroll, drag windows, watch a video. • If the Mac doesn't offer video mode, the app falls back to classic VNC encodings on its own. A DISPLAY THAT FITS, ALWAYS • The Mac creates a Retina virtual monitor exactly the size of your screen: no black bars, no tiny text. • Rotate your device, use Split View or Stage Manager, unfold your iPhone Duo: the monitor resizes itself. • With the on-screen keyboard open, you choose: drag with two fingers to see what's underneath, or shrink the Mac's screen to the visible area. • On iPhone, one button rotates the screen even with rotation lock on, and the app suggests it when you turn the phone. • Multi-monitor Macs: switch with a tap or see them all at once. NATURAL CONTROL • Trackpad or direct-touch mode, two-finger right click, smooth pinch zoom. • Precise momentum scrolling like a Mac trackpad; three fingers to scroll pages. • Hardware or on-screen keyboard with the right layout, even in password fields: accents and symbols arrive correctly. • Bar with esc, tab, arrows, F1–F12 and modifiers; ready-made shortcuts (Mission Control, Spotlight, screenshots and more). • Shared clipboard between the Mac and your device; screen snapshots to save or share. • Observe mode to watch without touching anything. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO MANAGE MACS • Using Apple Remote Desktop? Import the computer list exported from Remote Desktop in seconds. • Cards with each Mac's latest picture and live status: available or unreachable. • Automatic discovery on the local network and quick connect by address. • SSH management: hardware, system and disk info, installed apps, lock screen, sleep, restart and shut down, with host identity verification. PCS AND LINUX TOO • Standard VNC servers on Windows and Linux. • Windows PCs over Remote Desktop (RDP) on iPad and iPhone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no ads, no tracking. • Passwords and keys stay in your device's Keychain. • The app only connects to the computers you add. REQUIREMENTS High-quality video needs a Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 14 or later, with Screen Sharing on (System Settings › General › Sharing). Other Macs and VNC servers work with classic encodings. Away from home or office, use a VPN.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Built-in SSH terminal with tabs. If you like, your shells keep running on the Mac even after you disconnect. • Clipboard shared with the Mac both ways: copy on iPad, paste on the Mac, and back. • Mac audio together with high-quality video. • Apple Pencil as a precise mouse: tap to click, hold the tip still to right-click, scroll with squeeze (Apple Pencil Pro) or with a finger resting on the screen. • Right-click to the Mac fixed: context menus now open. • Mac shortcuts that iPadOS keeps for itself: ⌥Space, ⌃⇧3/4/5 and ⌥⇥ reach the Mac as ⌘Space, ⇧⌘3/4/5 and ⌘⇥. New shortcuts panel from the ⌘ button. • Switch to another app for a moment and the session stays connected, resuming without reconnecting. • Lower battery use.
