## Description

Control your Mac, PC, or Linux desktop from your iPhone or iPad. Fast, encrypted VNC with pinch-to-zoom, a full keyboard, and trackpad-style pointer control.

PocketVNC turns your iPhone or iPad into a remote control for any computer running a VNC server — your Mac, a Windows PC, a Linux box, or a Raspberry Pi.

Connect over your home network or the internet and see your desktop live, with smooth pinch-to-zoom, precise touch, and a proper keyboard with modifier and function keys.

Secure by default. PocketVNC supports encrypted connections (VeNCrypt/TLS), including certificate-based servers with trust-on-first-use verification — so you can see exactly which machine you're connecting to. Saved server passwords are stored in the iOS Keychain, never on our servers.

Built for real use: 
  • Live remote desktop with pinch-to-zoom and pan 
  • Tap to click, long-press to right-click, two-finger scroll 
  • Full on-screen keyboard — Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Cmd, Esc, Tab, arrows, F1–F12 
  • Auto-reconnect if the network drops (Pro) 
  • ZRLE compression and quality presets for responsive control over slower links 
  • Light, dark, and system appearance • Works with standard VNC servers: macOS Screen Sharing, TigerVNC, RealVNC, TightVNC, x11vnc, and more 
  • VNC password and Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) authentication

Free includes one saved server and up to 30 minutes of connection time every 6 hours — plenty for a quick check-in. The free tier is ad-supported: a small banner appears in the app, and an occasional full-screen ad is shown while a connection is starting — never during an active session.

PocketVNC Pro (subscription) unlocks the full toolkit: 
  • Unlimited connection time and unlimited saved servers 
  • No ads 
  • Saved passwords for one-tap connect 
  • Server groups to organize your machines 
  • Reusable saved credentials — apply one login to a server or a whole group 
  • Wake-on-LAN — power on a sleeping computer before you connect 
  • Auto-reconnect after a dropped connection 
  • App Lock with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode 
  • Colour accents and per-server quality presets 
  • Trackpad mode — relative, laptop-style pointer control 
  • Clipboard sync between devices

Free to download. Subscribe any time (7-day free trial) for unlimited access and every Pro feature.
