Measured, not marketed

Real numbers from real hardware.

Sub-5 ms LAN glass-to-glass. 120 fps ultra mode. 45 MB binary. Roughly 8% CPU at 1080p 60 fps. Every claim on this page is averaged across ten runs on a Mac mini M4 Pro host and an iPad Pro M4 client over Wi-Fi 6E. The methodology is at the bottom — open it and run the same tests yourself.

Latency

Speed you can feel.

End-to-end glass-to-glass latency from the moment a pixel changes on the host to the moment it lights up on the client. Lower is better. Same gigabit LAN, same direct device-to-device link, ten-run averages.

<10 ms

Imperceptible. Feels like you are sitting at the machine. Remio lives here.

10–30 ms

Playable for most games. Slight input delay on the fastest competitive actions.

30–60 ms

Fine for productivity. Noticeable lag on cursor movement and scrolling.

60+ ms

Frustrating. Visible delay on every action. Unusable for competitive gaming.

Frame rate

Smooth at any framerate.

Pick the rate that fits your workload — from battery-saving to competitive gaming. Remio targets the rate you choose; the network and host decide how close to it the stream stays.

Resource usage

Lighter than a browser tab.

Native code means native performance. No Electron, no embedded browser, no script bridge between you and the screen — just the hardware-accelerated encoder built into your machine and a thin native shell.

Bandwidth

More pixels, fewer bits.

Adaptive encoding squeezes maximum quality from your connection. Five presets cover every scenario, and the auto-mode shifts between them as the link changes.

Results may vary. Performance depends on hardware, network conditions, and codec support. Benchmarks were conducted in February 2026 using the latest available versions of each competitor at the time. Run the same procedure on your own machine — Remio is free to download, and the methodology above lists every variable.
