It allows you to access, view and control your PC, Mac and Unix systems remotely. As compared to competing VNC viewers, Remote Ripple offers: - Clean and simple user interface - Fast operation even on slow connections - Smooth desktop scaling - Low memory footprint It works via Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G/LTE networks and connects straightly to your remote machines. It does not use intermediate servers and does not route your data to third-party services. While direct connections via Internet may require some configuration, they guarantee best performance and independence from online services. HOW IT CAN HELP YOU From time to time, many of us need to access our “big computers” and use some “big software” installed on it. Remote Ripple allows you to do your work remotely. Also, you can: - Monitor what's happening on your computers while you're away (use View-only mode to prevent from interfering with the desktop). - Provide remote support to your friends and family. Assist in installing software, fix problems and demonstrate how to set up things. - Administer servers, workstations and virtual machines remotely. - Control your home computers while laying in a lounge chair. For example, you can use Remote Ripple as a remote control for your music or video player running on a PC. - Copy a file forgotten on a remote host (while Remote Ripple does not support direct file transfers, it can help in transferring files with other services like Dropbox or Google Drive). Install Remote Ripple, and find your own use cases! GETTING STARTED To connect with Remote Ripple, make sure your target computer runs a sort of VNC server. - If the target PC runs Windows, install a VNC server on it. We strongly recommend TightVNC as it provides best performance and compatibility with Remote Ripple. You can download your free copy of TightVNC on its Web site — http://www.tightvnc.com/ - Mac OS X systems already have a VNC server included. It's a part of Apple Remote Desktop service. To enable it, go to System Preferences, choose Sharing, enable Remote Management, press Computer Settings, check “VNC viewers may control screen with password” and enter the password you will use when connecting. - Most Linux distributions include a number of VNC servers as well. Just install a VNC server from your package collection, and type something like vncserver or tightvncserver (or whatever command starts that particular VNC server). Typically, it will offer you to enter new VNC password and will start sharing your desktop (or create new virtual desktop for you). - Virtualization systems (such as VMware and QEMU) often include built-in VNC servers, although they may not be enabled by default.

Thank you! ## Rankings - #345,556 — Overall ## Review summary Remote Ripple generally connects to TightVNC/local VNC servers and offers basic remote-control features with decent LAN performance. However, it is plagued by stability and usability problems: frequent black screens and crashes, no password authentication, no display scaling, and limited network reach (often LAN-only). It may be suitable for light, on‑LAN tasks but is unreliable for broader, secure remote access. ### Pros - Connects quickly to TightVNC/local VNC servers and generally works for basic remote control. - Provides basic input controls (touch/tap, mouse, right-click, and some keyboard input) for practical remote use. - Performs reasonably well over a local network with low latency for simple tasks. ### Cons - Frequent black screens or failure to render the remote desktop, making the app unusable in many cases. - Crashes or stability issues (crashes after connecting or during use) across multiple reports. - No option to enter a password / authentication not possible, hindering login and access. - No screen scaling control, leading to a magnified, hard-to-use remote display and difficulty fitting the desktop view on small screens. - Limited connectivity: often requires the same WiFi (no cellular support), restricting remote access when not on the same network. ## Similar extensions and apps - [QuickRemote - Desktop Manager](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6761764462) — 1.00 / 5 - [Remote Desktop: RDP & VNC](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6782374576) — 4.50 / 5 - [Remotix VNC, RDP & NEAR](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id407498378) — 4.60 / 5 - [PocketVNC](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6783423610) - [RemoteView.](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id389754503) — 5.00 / 5 - [RemoteViewer PRO](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6784493518) - [Rumskrot Remote](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6761122209) - [Server Remote Client](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6758187036) — 3.50 / 5 - [Scrcpy Remote](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1629352527) — 4.10 / 5 - [Vamp : Remote Desktop](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6762654508) - [RealVNC Viewer: Remote Desktop](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id352019548) — 4.80 / 5 - [RemotePC Remote Desktop](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id405038711) — 4.60 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1071186450)
