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.

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.

Amazing! Try Server app for Mac remote access!

Best RDP app by far. I've used this to acces Windows via RDP for a while. I've struggled with decent remote access on the Mac, using VNC/TeamViewer (and others) and then found there is a server app Jump Desktop Connect - it uses the Jump Desktops own protocol 'fluid', it's far and away the best remote access experience for Mac's I've found, it's faster in my opinion than those and way less expensive. Not sure why this isn't better known. All apps are also well supported and updated. The download is hidden away on the companies website - seems a shame not to promote it better. Absolutely love it, thank you!

Tried them all... this is the one for me!

I wanted to be able to access all of my computers from all of my devices, simple. I did not wish to pay a monthly subscription. I wanted to own the ability outright, and with Jump, I do. I can support my parents with their laptop, and access my server from work should I need any files or to launch a download or render. Superb software. Thanks!

The best remote desktop app I've found so far

This is an excellent and reasonably priced solution for remote access to your macs and PCs. The developers are adding new features and refinements on a regular basis. And most importantly, unlike most other remote desktop tools, Jump supports audio and the latency is good enough that I've even managed to do editing remotely. It's great :)
