RoveDesk
Control your computer remotely
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Control your Mac from your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch—live screen, trackpad, keyboard, terminal, files. Now with mutual pairing verification and reliable reconnects.
RoveDesk lets you control your Mac from iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Pair with a six-digit code on the same Wi-Fi network, then see your Mac’s screen, move the pointer, type, use Terminal, and work with files from your mobile device.
EVERYDAY MAC CONTROL
• Live screen view with responsive pointer control
• Multi-touch trackpad with click, right-click, drag, scroll, and zoom
• Full keyboard and useful Mac shortcuts
• Real zsh terminal for commands and scripts
• File browser for opening, downloading, and managing files
RELIABLE LOCAL CONNECTIONS
• Discovers nearby Macs automatically on the same network
• Keeps permission status in sync after Screen Recording or Accessibility access is already granted
• Reconnects cleanly and shows clear connection state
• Uses direct local networking for low latency and privacy
FREE AND PRO

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
This update focuses on connection reliability and security.
• Pairing between your iPhone/iPad and your Mac is now verified in both directions, closing a gap that could let an untrusted device on your network impersonate your Mac.
• Fixed a bug that could freeze the app during large file transfers.
• Terminal sessions now handle heavy output (large file listings, verbose commands) smoothly instead of slowing down your connection.
• Improved reconnect behavior after your Mac sleeps, wakes, or briefly drops off the network.
• Fixed an issue where RoveDesk Pro subscribers could be incorrectly shown the free-session limit while entitlement info was still loading.
• Clearer messages when a Mac permission (like Screen Recording) needs to be re-granted.
• Numerous other stability and security fixes throughout the app.
Note: this release requires the matching update to RoveDesk Host on your Mac. If pairing fails with an "update required" message, update the Mac app first.
