See your screen, click, type, scroll and move files, as if you were sitting at your desk.

Fast Remote Desktop is a VNC client built for speed and privacy. On a Mac there is nothing to install: it connects to macOS's built-in Screen Sharing, and you sign in with your usual Mac user name and password.

WHY FAST REMOTE DESKTOP
• Fast by design: the picture is decoded in the background, so zooming and scrolling stay smooth, and every tap and key goes out instantly, never stuck behind a busy screen.
• Sharp, lossless colour: crisp text and code, no blurry JPEG compression.
• Nothing to install on your Mac: works with Screen Sharing out of the box.
• Private: no account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics, no cloud relay. Your screen goes straight from your computer to your device.
• Encrypted when you want it: one switch sends the whole session through SSH (Remote Login on a Mac), using the same sign-in.

TRANSFER FILES
Classic VNC can't move files, so Fast Remote Desktop adds a Files page over SFTP. Browse your computer, send several files at once, download to your phone, share to any app, rename, delete and create folders, with a progress bar you can cancel.

TOUCH CONTROLS THAT FEEL NATURAL
• Direct touch: tap to click, swipe to scroll, pinch to zoom
• Trackpad mode for precise pointing
• Long-press to right-click, two-finger scroll, tap-and-drag
• Key bar with Ctrl, Alt, Option, Command, Esc, Tab, arrows and F-keys
• Bluetooth and USB keyboards and mice
• Copy and paste between your phone and computer, both ways

MULTIPLE MONITORS AND SPACES
View every display at once or zoom to one. Switch Spaces and open Mission Control from the toolbar.

FINDS YOUR COMPUTERS
Computers on your Wi-Fi appear automatically. Or enter any IP address or host name: at home, in the office, or from anywhere through your own VPN such as Tailscale.

STAYS CONNECTED
Reconnects automatically when Wi-Fi drops or you switch apps. Passwords and SSH keys stay in Android's secure Keystore. SSH host keys are checked on every connection.

QUESTIONS
