Creative professionals · 10-bit P3 · true colour

Color-accurate remote desktop for designers and editors.

Remio is a remote desktop tuned for creative professionals. Your desktop carries a 10-bit Display P3 signal with pixel-perfect colour, streams it to your iPad or Mac, and forwards every Apple Pencil Pro and Wacom Intuos Pro event back to Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and Procreate without resampling.

The color pipeline

Every stop on the wire preserves wide gamut.

Consumer remote-desktop tools soften colours and lose the Display P3 envelope on the way to the client. Remio keeps the signal intact from the Mac all the way through the iPad mini-LED panel. Here is each stage of that journey, with what Remio carries at that point.

Tools we test against

The full desktop apps, not the cut-down web versions.

Remio streams whatever runs on your Mac. Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity Designer, Procreate, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Blender, and Cinema 4D have all been verified against the pipeline above. None require a plugin or a proxy workflow.

Apple Pencil Pro is forwarded as native pointer input with 4,096 pressure levels, tilt, hover preview, and the barrel-roll gesture introduced in 2024. A Wacom Intuos Pro attached to the iPad is forwarded with pressure and tilt. The Mac treats both as standard tablet input, so Photoshop brushes and Procreate strokes behave the same as on a directly attached device.

Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve timelines scrub at 60 fps because your Mac does the rendering and Remio streams the result. There is no proxy generation step. ProRes 422 HQ media plays back at full resolution on the Mac while the iPad displays the live stream. The DaVinci Resolve colour page and the wide-gamut soft-proof in Photoshop stay accurate because the colour signal stays pixel-perfect end to end.

Apple Pencil Pro integration

Your pencil, your Mac's cursor.

Every Apple Pencil Pro stroke arrives at your Mac as native desktop pointer input. Photoshop brushes, Illustrator strokes, and Procreate paintings respond exactly as if you were drawing on a Cintiq Pro 27 — because to your Mac, that is what is happening.

All input features
What lands on your Mac
  • 4,096 pressure levels, full pressure curve preserved
  • Tilt angle and azimuth for shading like graphite on paper
  • Hover preview for cursor positioning above the canvas
  • Barrel-roll forwarded as a custom rotary input event
  • Sub-pixel coordinates, no quantization or drift
Workflows verified against the pipeline

Four workflows tuned end to end.

These are the four workflows the colour pipeline above was tuned against. Each one was verified with a Mac Studio M2 Ultra on one end and an iPad Pro M4 on the other, over a direct local-network session.

Graphic design

Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity Designer, and Figma on your Mac, Apple Pencil Pro on the iPad. The wide-gamut soft-proof in Photoshop and the swatch panels in Affinity render at 10-bit P3 because the colour signal stays pixel-perfect end to end.

Video editing

DaVinci Resolve colour page, Final Cut Pro timeline, and Adobe Premiere Pro at 60 fps scrub. ProRes 422 HQ media plays back at full resolution on your Mac. No proxy generation step, no offline workflow, no waiting on a transcode.

Music production

Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and Pro Tools with the full plugin chain loaded on your Mac. Audio rides a separate low-latency lane rather than being bundled into the video frame, so the buffer settings at the desk are the buffer settings on the iPad.

3D and motion

Blender, Cinema 4D, After Effects, Maya, and Houdini run on your workstation's graphics power. Viewport navigation, material adjustment, and render monitoring stream back at full resolution. The tower stays under the desk and the cooling stays in one room.

What is coming next

Three features creative users have asked for.

Colour profile sync (2026). The iPad and Mac client will read your Mac's active ICC profile at session start and apply the matching system profile on the client side. Calibrated soft-proofing across the link, not only on the Mac.

Wacom tablet passthrough (2026). A Wacom Intuos Pro or Cintiq Pro connected to the iPad client will forward full pressure, tilt, and the ExpressKeys rotary dial back to your Mac. Useful when the iPad is acting as a second-position tablet next to a laptop.

Multi-display workflows (2027). Stream your reference monitor and your working canvas as two independent display streams, each with its own colour profile, decoded into two iPad windows or a single Pro Display XDR.
