Remio comes in two parts.

The Host runs on the computer you want to reach. The Client runs on the device in your hand. Install both, scan a QR code, and you're in.

Remio Host

On the computer you want to control

The Host shares the screen and takes your input. Install it on the Mac, Windows PC, or Linux machine you'll be connecting to.

On Linux, make the AppImage executable (chmod +x) and run it — Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 36+, Arch and most others, on X11 or Wayland. Native .deb, .rpm and Arch packages are under Power users below.

Remio Client

On the device you control from

The Client shows the remote screen, wherever you are. Grab it for your phone, tablet, TV, or another computer.

On Apple TV, search the App Store for Remio — pairing works by typing the host's Device ID and six-digit code, no camera needed (how it works on Apple TV). The Linux client is on the roadmap.

Installing the Android APK? Android will show “App scan recommended”, then “Installing this app isn’t recommended”. Neither is a problem found in the file — Play Protect has simply not seen this app before, which is true of anything installed outside the Play Store. Let it scan, then tap Install anyway, and leave Play Protect switched on. Why it is not on the Play Store, and the SHA-256 to check your download, are under Power users below.

Power userswinget · Linux packages (.deb · .rpm · Arch) · SHA-256 · "Windows protected your PC" · older builds

Windows

Remio Host winget install Remio.RemioHost
Remio app winget install Remio.RemioClient

If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC": click More info → Run anyway. We are a small team and Microsoft's reputation system requires expensive certificates to skip that screen — we are on the path. Your download is signed end-to-end so auto-updates can verify it came from us. The winget command above skips the warning entirely.

Android APK

If Android says “Installing this app isn’t recommended”: tap More details → Install anyway. Google Play Protect shows this for any app it has not seen before, and it has not seen any app distributed outside the Play Store. It is not a malware finding, and there is no switch on our side that removes it — Google’s own developer guidance states that appeals do not apply to unknown apps. What is within our control, we have done: Remio Host targets the current Android SDK, and the permissions it declares do not include the SMS, notification-listener or accessibility access that Play Protect treats as high risk. Remio Host is distributed directly rather than through the Play Store because it needs the device-level access Android only grants through Wireless debugging — the same mechanism the app walks you through on first launch. Check the file you downloaded against the SHA-256 below.

Linux packages

Prefer a package manager over the AppImage? Every package below installs the same app, registers a desktop launcher and a background service, and uninstalls cleanly with the same package manager.

Debian 12+ · Ubuntu 22.04+ · Mint · Pop!_OS (.deb): Download the .deb, then sudo apt install ./Remio-Host-Linux-amd64.deb.

Fedora 36+ · RHEL/Alma/Rocky 9.1+ · openSUSE (.rpm): Download the .rpm, then sudo dnf install ./Remio-Host-Linux-x86_64.rpm — on openSUSE: sudo zypper install ./Remio-Host-Linux-x86_64.rpm.

Arch · Manjaro · EndeavourOS: Download the package, then sudo pacman -U ./Remio-Host-Linux-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.

Used the Flatpak? Remio no longer offers it: a Flatpak can't include the virtual display, the tray icon or game controllers, and it never updates itself. Download the AppImage instead — it starts as the same computer, with your paired devices and account, so nothing needs pairing again. Then remove the Flatpak with flatpak uninstall net.remio.Host.

Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi OS): requires Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm or newer — 64-bit is recommended on Pi 3, 4 and 5.

Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit (.deb, Pi 3/4/5): Download the .deb, then sudo apt install ./Remio-Host-Linux-arm64.deb.

Raspberry Pi OS 32-bit (.deb, armv7 — Pi 2 v1.2 or later; Pi 1/Zero not supported): Download the .deb, then sudo apt install ./Remio-Host-Linux-armhf.deb.

AppImage 64-bit: Download the AppImage, then chmod +x Remio-Host-Linux-aarch64.AppImage and run it.

AppImage 32-bit: Download the AppImage, then chmod +x Remio-Host-Linux-armhf.AppImage and run it.

Remio Host · Windows · v3.3.15

  2. Windows says “protected your PC”

    Click More info → Run anyway. SmartScreen shows this until an installer has enough downloads behind it.

  3. Approve the installer

    Click Yes when Windows asks for permission.
