Our Story
Remio was born from a simple frustration: why is remote desktop still so painful? One developer set out to build something radically better — native, private, and blazingly fast.
It started the way most indie projects do — with a problem nobody seemed willing to solve properly. Every remote desktop tool out there 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's native on every platform, requires no account, collects zero data, and streams your desktop in 4K at 60FPS with sub-5ms latency. Not because a VC demanded it. Because a developer actually cared.
I built Remio because I believe you shouldn't need a corporate account and a prayer just to access your own computer from across the room — or across the world. Your machine, your rules. That's the whole philosophy.
Every line of code in Remio reflects these beliefs. They're not aspirational — they're architectural.
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 isn't a premium feature — it's the default. Because your screen is your business, and it should stay that way.
Every platform gets a truly native app — SwiftUI on Apple, Jetpack Compose on Android, optimized Go on the server. No Electron. No web views. No React Native wrappers. We use hardware-accelerated H.265 encoding, a custom FlatBuffers protocol, and every millisecond is fought for. The result? It feels local.
Remio's protocol is built on FlatBuffers — open, documented, and inspectable. No proprietary black boxes. No vendor lock-in. You can verify exactly what's being transmitted. Transparency isn't a feature we added; it's how the whole thing was designed from day one.
The future of remote access isn't just pixels on a screen — it's intelligent interaction. Remio is built for the AI era: an architecture that enables AI agents to see, understand, and interact with your desktop remotely. Not as an afterthought. As a first-class capability. The bridge between AI and your computer starts here.
We live in a world where your work, your files, your creative tools, your entire digital life lives on your computer. But you don't always live next to your computer.
Remio is the invisible bridge between you and your machine — wherever you are, whatever device you're holding, the experience should feel native.
And as AI evolves, that bridge gets even 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's not science fiction. That's the architecture we're building right now.
Your full desktop, any device, any network. No compromises.
Let AI agents interact with your computer — securely and under your control.
No accounts, no cloud dependency. Your machine answers only to you.
Every great product starts with someone saying "I can do better." Here's how Remio happened.
Remio's communication protocol is built on Google's FlatBuffers — an open, battle-tested serialization framework. Every message between your devices is schema-defined, inspectable, and documented.
We believe in building in the open. You shouldn't have to trust a black box with your screen content. With Remio, you can verify exactly what's being transmitted — and confirm that the answer is: only your pixels, encrypted end-to-end.
