Afar Window: Mac Remote Access
Your Mac on iPad and iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Leave your Mac on the desk and take its desktop with you. Pick an app and it comes right to you on your iPad or iPhone, sized to the screen like a native app.
Afar Window makes picking up your Mac work on iPad or iPhone easier than ever. Leave your Mac on the desk, and its apps are always right there in your hands.
A typical remote desktop shrinks the Mac's whole screen to fit an iPad or iPhone. The two screens have different shapes, so the text gets tiny, and even when the shape fits, the Dock and a pile of windows crowd the screen. Afar Window brings over just the app you choose and fits its window to your screen, so text is the same size it is on the Mac. Tap another app in the sidebar to switch, and the previous window goes back to where it was on the Mac.
With native hardware video encoding and decoding on both devices, the picture runs at up to 120 frames per second, and built-in route selection picks the best path automatically. When you want the traditional full desktop, a smooth remote desktop is just a tap away.
Designed for touch, with support for Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard. A customizable shortcut dial keeps frequent actions at your fingertips, and the clipboard is shared too.
Rather talk than type? A dictation app on your Mac can use the microphone on your iPad or iPhone*, and the Mac's sound plays there too.
End-to-end encrypted from your Mac to your iPad or iPhone, with no account needed.
Afar Window works with Afar Window Host, a free app for the Mac, available at afarwindow.com.
* Dictation requires a third-party dictation app on the Mac, such as Spokenly, or a dictation service you set up yourself, along with a matching keyboard shortcut.
