## Description

Coming from the old app (v12 or earlier)? Saved connections don't carry over — add them manually, import your desktop XML, or sync via a self-hosted server.

Remote Utilities gives you full remote access to your Windows, macOS and Linux computers from your iPhone or iPad — over the Internet or LAN, with zero network configuration. View the remote desktop, control the mouse and keyboard, transfer files and manage power, all from one app.

Free for personal and business use alike — no ads.

REMOTE CONTROL
• Full Control and View modes with a convenient toolbar — quick actions and commands at hand
• Two input methods in Full Control: Trackpad (mouse pointer, with optional cursor momentum) or Touch — choose what suits your habits
• Multi-monitor support — switch to a single remote monitor or view all at once
• Next-generation screen capture codec for faster performance, with the classic codec available as an option
• Blank the remote screen and block remote input for privacy
• Lock the remote computer and close the session in one step

FILE TRANSFER
• Copy and move files both ways between your device and the remote PC
• Resume interrupted downloads and uploads

POWER CONTROL
• Shut down, restart, lock, sleep or hibernate the remote computer

CONNECTIVITY & SECURITY
• Connect directly by IP address or instantly via Internet-ID — no router or firewall setup needed
• Three authentication modes: single password, login and password, or custom server security

ADDRESS BOOK
• Full-fledged address book with folders and per-connection properties
• Set default connection properties as a template for new entries
• Multiple address books of different types — local or synced
• Full import, export and sync capabilities

SELF-HOSTED SERVER

## Review summary

Users report that Remote Utilities can handle basic remote viewing across iPad/iPhone and Windows and can be fast. However, multiple reviews highlight serious drawbacks: missing core input controls (no right-click, Ctrl+Alt+Del, limited Windows keys), unreliable login/connection (ipad password errors, failed logins), frequent stability issues (crashes, freezes, black screens), and overall feature limitations (no file transfer). Cursor/input reliability is also a concern. Improvements in core controls, reliability, and parity with desktop features would likely raise overall satisfaction.

### Pros

- Good for basic remote viewing on iPad/iPhone and Windows.
- Fast and usable for basic tasks when connections work.
- Useful for remote access on the road across devices.

### Cons

- Missing essential remote-control features: no right-click, no Ctrl+Alt+Del, and limited Windows-key support.
- Login and connection reliability issues: password problems on iPad, failed logins, and unstable connections.
- Stability problems: frequent crashes, freezes after taps, and startup or black-screen crashes after updates.
- Limited features compared to desktop Remote Utilities: lack of file transfer and other core functionality.
- Input/cursor problems: remote cursor visibility issues and unreliable mouse actions.
