Connect to your PC, Mac, or Linux box from your phone or tablet.

WHAT YOU CAN CONNECT TO
• Windows over RDP: Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server
• macOS over VNC: works with built-in Screen Sharing, no extra software to install
• Linux and Raspberry Pi over VNC: x11vnc, TigerVNC, and other libvncserver-based servers
• Just type a hostname and Remoter figures out which protocol to use

BUILT FOR TOUCH
• Tap to left-click, long-press to right-click
• Pinch with two fingers to zoom and pan
• Three-finger tap to show or hide the keyboard
• Full PC keyboard emulation, including Ctrl, Alt, function keys, and arrows
• Plug in a USB or Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and use the desktop the way you would sitting in front of it

YOUR CONNECTIONS, READY TO GO
• Save as many hosts as you like, each with its own settings
• The host list shows a thumbnail of each machine's screen from your last session
• Put any saved connection on your home screen as a one-tap shortcut
• Open an rdp:// link from anywhere on the device

SECURITY
• Saved passwords are encrypted with an AES-256 key held in the Android Keystore - never stored in plain text
• Server certificates are pinned the first time you accept them, so a swapped certificate is flagged instead of silently trusted
• No ads. No account to create. No analytics or tracking of any kind. Your credentials and your screen never touch our servers, because there are no servers - Remoter connects straight to your machine.

REMOTER PREMIUM
The core client is free and stays free. Premium is optional and unlocks:
• Clipboard sharing between your device and the remote desktop
• H.264 hardware-accelerated graphics for smooth video and scrolling
• Remote sound played through your device
• More than one connection open at the same time
• Picture-in-Picture, so the desktop keeps running in a floating window while you use other apps

Premium is available as a monthly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Either one unlocks everything.

BEFORE YOU START
Windows Home editions do not include a Remote Desktop server - RDP needs Windows Pro, Enterprise, or Server. On the PC you want to reach, turn on Settings > System > Remote Desktop. On a Mac, turn on System Settings > General > Sharing > Screen Sharing.

Connecting from outside your home or office network needs a VPN or a port forward to the machine — Remoter does not run a relay service.
