Most remote desktops "work." Remio makes you forget you're remote. Here's how — and why it matters for the way you actually use your computer.
Click something — it happens. No lag, no "catch up," no wondering if your click registered. That's what sub-5ms end-to-end latency actually feels like in practice.
Traditional remote desktops add 30–80ms of delay. You might not notice on a spreadsheet — but you feel it every time you drag a window, scrub a timeline, or try to scroll.
Most remote desktops route through cloud servers, decode in software, or add buffering "just in case." Remio connects your devices directly (peer-to-peer) and uses your device's hardware encoder/decoder — the same chips that power FaceTime and AirPlay. Zero unnecessary stops.
Choose a preset or let Remio figure it out. Auto mode monitors your network in real time and adjusts quality on the fly — you don't notice dips, just smooth streaming.
| Preset | Best For | FPS |
|---|---|---|
| Auto | Just works — adapts to your connection automatically | 60 |
| Low | Mobile data, airport Wi-Fi, weak connections | 30 |
| Balanced | Everyday work — email, browsing, coding | 60 |
| High | Design work, photo editing, color-sensitive tasks | 60 |
| Ultra | Gaming, video editing, maximum visual fidelity | 120 |
Remio's streaming engine adjusts in real time — when your Wi-Fi dips, quality drops gracefully instead of freezing. When bandwidth returns, quality scales back up within milliseconds.
Want just Photoshop on your iPad, not your whole desktop? App Window mode streams a single application — cleaner view, less bandwidth, more focused.
Got a ProMotion iPad or 120Hz display? Remio can push frames at 120 FPS. Scrolling, dragging, gaming — everything moves at the refresh rate your eyes deserve.
Lost packets get retransmitted automatically. Dropped frames degrade gracefully. Three layers of error protection work behind the scenes so you never see glitches or artifacts.
Not a virtual mouse. Not a clunky touch overlay. Remio recreates the exact scroll physics from Apple's trackpad — the same momentum, the same deceleration, the same feel. It's the thing people notice first.
No learning curve. If you know how to use your phone, you know how to control your Mac.
This is Remio's secret weapon. We rebuilt Apple's scroll engine from scratch — not an approximation, the actual deceleration model. Here's what that means in practice:
Five tuned presets for different workflows — or customize every parameter yourself.
Every key, every modifier, every shortcut. Cmd+C, Ctrl+Z, F-keys — they all just work. Connect a Bluetooth keyboard to your phone for a full desktop experience.
Remio predicts where your finger is going and starts processing input before you even arrive. The result: zero perceptible delay between your touch and the cursor.
Your iPad prefers faster cursor? Your iPhone likes lower sensitivity? Remio remembers settings for each device separately. Set once, forget forever.
Audio that's perfectly in sync with video — even on wireless headphones. From background music to production monitoring, Remio delivers crystal-clear audio with under 2ms latency.
Watching a tutorial? Voice mode saves bandwidth. Producing music? Lossless mode gives you studio quality.
Audio and video arrive together — not close enough, but perfectly together. Whether you're on Zoom, watching YouTube, or editing video, lips match words. No "bad dub" feeling.
With ultra-low buffer modes, audio latency drops below 2ms. That's fast enough for real-time music monitoring — you hear what's happening as it happens.
Seamless audio routing to AirPods, Bluetooth speakers, or any connected device. With echo cancellation and noise suppression built in when you need them.
This isn't marketing fluff. Remio connects your devices directly — peer-to-peer. We literally cannot see your screen, your files, or your keystrokes. That's the architecture, not a policy.
Simple, verifiable, non-negotiable.
Your devices talk to each other directly. Video, audio, input — none of it passes through Remio's servers.
Every bit of data is encrypted before leaving your device. Even if someone intercepted it, they'd see nothing but noise.
Each session uses unique encryption keys that are erased when you disconnect. Past sessions can never be decrypted, even by us.
Pair with a QR code or PIN. No email, no password, no personal data stored anywhere. You're a device, not a profile.
Remio always tries a direct connection first. If your network blocks P2P (rare), traffic goes through an encrypted relay — but we still can't see what's inside.
Working remotely in a shared office? Turn on Privacy Mode — your host computer's screen goes black and audio mutes. Anyone walking by sees nothing.
Pairing keys are stored in your device's secure hardware (Keychain on Apple, Keystore on Android). Never in plain text, never on our servers, never in a cloud database.
Launch apps, switch windows, adjust settings — all from your phone. Remio isn't just a screen mirror. It's full remote control that adapts to how you work.
Your computer's apps, right on your phone. Browse, launch, and switch between applications without navigating the desktop.
See all your dock apps with their real icons. Tap to launch — it opens on your host machine instantly.
Stream just one app instead of the whole desktop. Cleaner view, lower bandwidth, better focus.
Know your computer's status before you even connect.
See if your Mac is online, sleeping, busy, or in another session — right from your phone. No need to connect to check.
Change video quality, FPS, resolution — all on the fly, without disconnecting. Switched to mobile data? Lower quality in one tap.
See your Mac's actual cursor — the correct icon, correct hotspot, correct size. When the cursor changes to a pointer, resize handle, or text beam, you see it on your phone too.
Remio isn't a web app wrapped in a shell. Every platform gets its own native app — built with the same tools Apple and Google use. That means better performance, better battery life, and better integration with your device.
Native apps access hardware encoders, GPU acceleration, and platform-specific APIs that web wrappers simply can't touch. The result: faster streaming, longer battery life, and an app that feels like it belongs on your device.
Unlike some competitors that require NVIDIA hardware, Remio works on any Mac — Apple Silicon or Intel — and any Windows PC. Your hardware encoder is built into your OS.
Update your client without updating the host — or vice versa. Remio's protocol is designed for backward compatibility. Old and new versions work together seamlessly.
