Our story

Built by one. Used by many.

Remio started in 2024 with one developer, one Mac, and one question: why is remote desktop still so painful? The answer became a native app on every platform, end-to-end encrypted, with sub-5 ms LAN input latency and no account required.

The origin

A developer frustrated. A product reborn.

It started the way most indie projects do — with a problem nobody seemed willing to solve properly. Every remote desktop tool on the market asked for too much: create an account, install a bloated client, accept that your data would be routed through someone else’s servers, and live with lag that made actual work impossible.

What if remote desktop could feel like sitting in front of your actual computer?

That question became an obsession. Nights and weekends turned into months of engineering — rethinking everything from the protocol layer to the pixel pipeline. No shortcuts. No Electron wrappers. No compromises on privacy. Just a single developer, building the tool they wished existed.

The result is Remio — a remote desktop app that is native on every platform, requires no account, collects zero analytics, and streams a 4K desktop at 60 fps with sub-5 ms input latency on LAN. Not because a VC demanded it. Because a developer actually cared.

What we stand for

Principles, not marketing promises.

Every line of code in Remio reflects these beliefs. They are not aspirational — they are architectural.

Privacy first

No accounts. No telemetry. No analytics. No data collection of any kind. Your streams are end-to-end encrypted and never touch our servers. Privacy is not a premium feature — it is the default.

Performance obsessed

Every platform gets a truly native app — made for Mac, made for iPad, made for Windows, made for Android. No Electron. No web views. Hardware-accelerated H.265 encoding, an efficient open protocol, every millisecond fought for. It feels local.

Open by design

Remio is built on an open, documented, inspectable protocol. No proprietary black boxes. No vendor lock-in. You can verify exactly what is being transmitted. Transparency was not a feature we added; it is how the whole thing was designed from day one.

AI-native

The future of remote access is not just pixels on a screen — it is intelligent interaction. Remio is built for the AI era: an architecture that lets AI agents see, understand, and interact with your desktop remotely. Not as an afterthought. As a first-class capability.

The vision

A bridge between you and your machine.

Your work, your files, your creative tools, your entire digital life lives on your computer. But you do not always live next to your computer.

Remio is the invisible bridge between you and your machine — wherever you are, whatever device you are holding, the experience feels native.

And as AI evolves, that bridge gets more powerful. Imagine AI agents that can access your desktop on your behalf — running workflows, managing files, monitoring systems — all through a secure, encrypted tunnel that you control. That is not science fiction. That is the architecture being built right now.

Desktop everywhere

Your full desktop, any device, any network. No compromises.

AI-powered access

Let AI agents interact with your computer — securely and under your control.

Zero trust, full control

No accounts, no cloud dependency. Your machine answers only to you.

By the numbers

Small team. Bigger ambition.

The journey

The timeline so far.

Every product has a starting line and a series of forks. Here are the ones that shaped Remio.

2024 · The spark
The problem becomes personal
Tried every remote desktop app on the market. They all shared the same sins: mandatory accounts, sluggish performance, ugly UIs, and questionable privacy practices. The seed was planted.
2024 · The architecture
An open protocol designed from scratch
Instead of bolting features onto an existing codebase, the entire protocol was designed ground-up — open, schema-driven, ruthlessly efficient. The foundation for everything that followed.
2025 · Going native
A native app on every platform
The easy path was a single cross-platform codebase. The hard one was native apps for every platform. Made for Mac. Made for iPad. Made for Windows. Made for Android. A tuned relay layer behind the scenes. Every pixel earned.
2025 · The vision expands
AI-native architecture takes shape
Remote desktop is just the beginning. The architecture is being extended to support AI agents that can see, understand, and interact with a desktop — opening new possibilities for automation, accessibility, and intelligent computing.
2026 · Today and beyond
Shipping. Iterating. Aiming higher.
Remio is live on macOS, iOS, Windows, and Android. The roadmap continues: 120 fps ultra mode, multi-monitor support, gamepad streaming, file transfer, and a maturing AI-agent layer.
Open protocol

Transparency is not negotiable.

Remio is built on an open, battle-tested communication format. Every message between your devices is schema-defined, inspectable, and documented.

We believe in building in the open. You should not have to trust a black box with your screen content. With Remio, you can verify exactly what is being transmitted — and confirm that the answer is: only your pixels, encrypted end-to-end.
