Description

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. Jump Desktop also supports our own, high performance, next generation remote desktop protocol called Fluid Remote Desktop.

* Easy setup and reliable:
Jump Desktop is very easy to configure; anyone can do it! Just visit: https://www.jumpdesktop.com on your PC or Mac, click the ‘Automatic Setup’ link and follow step-by-step instructions. You’ll be up and running in no time.

* 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.

* Supercharged Productivity:
Use Mac keyboard shortcuts in Windows. Seamlessly switch between computers without changing the way you use the keyboard. Vastly improves productivity. Fully customizable: Configure your own shortcuts or use the built-in defaults. No other app comes close.

* Powerful Collaboration Features:
Collaborative screen sharing lets many users connect to the same desktop. Each user gets their own mouse cursor and can click and point without fighting over the same cursor. Great for editing documents with coworkers, tweaking designs with remote team members, creating presentations together, and teaching Grandma how to clean out her email.

* Remote Support
Connect and help anyone by asking them to install the free Jump Desktop Connect app and share a simple URL with you. It's simple, quick and very powerful.

* Integrated into macOS
Quickly search and launch computers directly from Spotlight. Full support for tabbed windows. Tightly integrated into macOS's power saving technology to give you the best battery life on the go.

Our next generation high performance Fluid Remote Desktop is optimized for low latency secure screen sharing. We also have our own in-house implementations of VNC and RDP protocols.

Consistently great.

I must have been using Jump Desktop for nearly a decade now. One word describes it - bulletproof! I tried way too many options for accessing my various machines from one another. All sorts of platforms - Mac primarily, but also Windows 10/11 and Debian (through secure VNC). Nothing organises all these platforms, accesses them as reliably or as efficiently (when using the proprietary Fluid protocol) as well as Jump. And it doesn't matter if I'm accessing host machines from my chuck-around 10yo Macbook Pro, my M1 iPad Pro or my 2023 M2 Pro Macbook Pro 14". Even from an ancient windows lappy I keep around. Nothing beats Jump. Stop looking. Get this.

Brilliant Product, and i never write reviews

I'm taking the time to write this review because Jump Desktop is such a fantastic product that i litterally use all the time. For my one time fee for my Mac and iOS licenses i have access via jump desktop connect to all the computers i manage. It doesn't include features like file transfer and chat and what have you but I don't need them, I just need solid, reliable remote control. Jump delivers that brilliantly. Perhaps the only improvement i could suggest is better 3D, eg remoteFX for RDP and something like what splashtop does for proprietary.

Works Every Time

I used gotomyc for at least 5 years. It would loose connection and the only way to reconnect was to have someone physically go into the office and restart the machine. This is a real hassle if you're in New York and your office is in Coffs Harbour NSW Australia

Jump Desktop never loses connection. It works everytime without fail.
