✦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, sub-5 ms LAN 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 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.

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.

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

Principles, not marketing promises

Every line of code reflects these beliefs. They're not aspirational — they're architectural.

Privacy first

No accounts. No telemetry. No analytics. Your streams are end-to-end encrypted and never touch our servers. Privacy is the default, not a premium tier.

Performance obsessed

A truly native app on every platform — made for Mac, iPad, Windows, Android, and Linux. No Electron, no web views. Hardware-accelerated H.265, every millisecond fought for.

Open by design

Built on an open, documented, inspectable protocol. No proprietary black boxes, no vendor lock-in. You can verify exactly what's transmitted.

AI-native

The future of remote access is intelligent interaction. Remio is built so AI agents can see, understand, and act on your desktop — a first-class capability, not an afterthought.

A bridge between you and your machine

Your work, files, and creative tools live on your computer — but you don't always live next to it. Remio is the invisible bridge, and the experience feels native wherever you are.

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.

Small team. Bigger ambition.

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. 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, Android, and now Linux (host). The roadmap continues: 120 fps ultra mode, multi-monitor support, gamepad streaming, file transfer, and a maturing AI-agent layer.

Transparency is not negotiable

You shouldn't have to trust a black box with your screen. Every message between your devices is schema-defined and inspectable.

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

We believe in building in the open. With Remio you can verify exactly what's being transmitted — and confirm the answer is: only your pixels, encrypted end-to-end.
