Mac M2 Pro
10-bit Display P3
Your monitor signal, captured straight from the Mac with no tone mapping at the source.
✦Creative pros
10-bit P3, on every screen. Color-accurate remote desktop for designers and editors.
Remio carries a 10-bit Display P3 signal with pixel-perfect colour 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.
✦Your pencil, your Mac
Draw on the iPad. Land on the Mac.
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.
The full desktop apps, not the cut-down tablet versions.
Every stop on the wire preserves wide gamut
The colour signal stays pixel-perfect from your Mac's framebuffer all the way to the panel in your hands.

Remio streams whatever runs on your Mac. None of these require a plugin or a proxy workflow.
Graphic design
Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity Designer, and Figma on your Mac; Apple Pencil Pro on the iPad. Wide-gamut soft-proofs and swatch panels 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 Premiere Pro at 60 fps scrub. ProRes 422 HQ media plays back at full resolution on your Mac. No proxy generation step, no waiting on a transcode.
Music production
Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and Pro Tools with the full plugin chain on your Mac. Audio rides a separate low-latency lane rather than being bundled into the video frame, so the buffer at the desk is the buffer on the iPad.
3D and motion
Blender, Cinema 4D, After Effects, Maya, and Houdini run on your workstation's graphics power. Viewport navigation, material tweaks, and render monitoring stream back at full resolution — the tower stays under the desk.
✦Input precision
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.
- 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
✦On the roadmap
Three features creative users have asked for
Honest milestones, not shipping features yet — here's what's next for colour-critical work.
Colour profile sync
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
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 a second-position tablet next to a laptop.
Multi-display workflows
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.
✦Questions
What colour-critical work needs answered
Can I use Photoshop, Illustrator, and DaVinci Resolve remotely on iPad?
Yes. Remio streams a full Mac, Windows, or Linux desktop to iPad with Apple Pencil pressure and tilt forwarded to the host. Photoshop, Illustrator, DaVinci Resolve, Lightroom Classic, Logic Pro, Cinema 4D, and Substance Painter all work as if you were sitting at the host machine. Pencil pressure curves are preserved end-to-end.
Does Remio support 4:4:4 chroma for colour-accurate work?
Yes. Remio is one of the only remote desktop apps that supports 4:4:4 chroma subsampling end-to-end. Colour-critical work — print design, video grading, photo retouching — renders with the same fidelity on the client as the host. AnyDesk, TeamViewer, Chrome Remote Desktop, and Parsec all use 4:2:0, which softens text and shifts skin tones.
Does Apple Pencil pressure and tilt actually work over Remio?
Yes. Pencil pressure (0–1.0), tilt (X and Y axes), and azimuth are forwarded to the Mac or Windows host as native NSEvent / WM_POINTER input. Drawing apps see the same pressure curves as a Wacom or Cintiq tablet. Sidecar can only do this Mac-to-Mac; Remio works iPad-to-Mac, iPad-to-Windows, and iPad-to-iPad.
Can I edit 4K video on iPad with Remio?
Yes. Stream DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro from a Mac Studio or Windows workstation to iPad. The host does the heavy lifting (GPU encode, AI tools, RAW debayer); iPad is the controller and display. 4K 60FPS preview, 4:4:4 chroma for accurate grading, and Apple Pencil for precise timeline scrubbing.
Start creating from anywhere.
Install Remio on your studio Mac and on the iPad you carry. Pair once with a 4-digit code — your full colour pipeline, in your hands.
