How it works

From phone to Mac, simpler than you think.

Install, pair with a PIN, connect. No account, no cloud round-trip — your devices talk directly to each other in about 30 seconds.

Pairing

From phone to Mac, directly.

Remio Host sits quietly on your Mac, PC, or Linux machine and shows everything a new device needs in one glance — a QR code, a Device ID, and a 4-digit PIN. Scan or type it once and the two devices remember each other. No sign-up, no IT department, no cloud middleman in the data path.

The connection server only brokers the first handshake — then it steps aside.

Setup

Connect in three steps.

Install, pair, connect — the whole thing takes under a minute, every time.

01

Install the two apps

Download Remio Host on the computer you want to control, and Remio Client on the phone, tablet or laptop you'll reach it from. Both are native — SwiftUI on Apple, Jetpack Compose on Android, C++/WinRT on Windows. No Electron, no browser tabs.

02

Pair with a one-time PIN

Open Remio Host and a 4-digit PIN appears on screen. Type it once into Remio Client. The two devices exchange ephemeral encryption keys and remember each other from then on. That is the entire account flow.

03

Tap connect, you are in

Remio picks the lowest-latency network path automatically — direct peer-to-peer when it can (under 5 ms on a LAN), encrypted relay as a fallback. Hardware codecs do the heavy lifting on both ends.

Network

The shortest path, chosen for you.

On the same network, Remio negotiates a direct device-to-device link for sub-5ms latency. Over the internet it uses ICE with STUN to punch through NAT; if that path is blocked, an encrypted Cloudflare relay carries the stream until the direct route opens up. Either way the payload stays end-to-end encrypted — the relay sees only opaque packets.

Hardware-accelerated H.265 or H.264, decoded on device with zero buffering.

Why Remio

Not another remote desktop tool.

Three things set it apart — and all three come from the same design choice: no cloud in the middle.

Direct device-to-device

The stream flows straight between your two devices. The connection server only performs the handshake — it never touches your pixels or keystrokes.

Zero account

A 4-digit PIN pairs your devices once — no email, no password, no profile, no recovery question. Nothing about you is stored on our servers.

100% native

Every app is built to its platform's own guidelines — SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, C++/WinRT. No web wrappers means every gesture and every frame feels like home.
