Phase 01 — Virtual display
A single floating screen
Your Windows desktop as one floating screen at full resolution and full fidelity, in a spatial window you can place anywhere in the room.
✦Windows host shipping today · visionOS client in development
Windows on Apple Vision Pro — your Windows PC, floating in your space.
Your Windows PC has the games and apps; Vision Pro has the screen. Remio pairs a free Windows host — shipping today — with the Remio iPad app, which already runs on Vision Pro, and a native visionOS client that's in development. Install the host now and your PC is ready.
✦The pairing
Why Vision Pro + Windows is an odd couple worth pairing
Vision Pro doesn't run Windows software, and a Windows PC has no headset. But the PC has the raw GPU and the library — and the headset has a screen the size of a wall. Remio connects the two: the PC does the work, the headset shows a flat Windows desktop inside a spatial window.
✦The visionOS client
What the native visionOS client gives you
The client is 100% native — same Apple frameworks visionOS uses for its own apps, same engine that already ships on iPad and Mac. It's being built step by step.
Phase 02 — Display switching
Instant display switching
Switch between your computer's monitors from inside the spatial window — pick which screen to view, without leaving the headset.
Phase 03 — Gesture control
Richer gesture input
Beyond look-and-pinch — natural hand gestures to scroll, resize, and interact with the remote desktop.
Phase 04 — Spatial UI
Spatial UI elements
Toolbars beside you, notifications in your peripheral vision — the remote desktop becoming truly three-dimensional.
Honest status
The iPad app runs on Vision Pro today; native is next
There is no native visionOS app yet — it's in active development, phase 01 first. Until then the Remio iPad app installs on Apple Vision Pro and streams your Windows PC from the free Windows host, which also streams to Remio's iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, and Windows clients. Join the waitlist for the native build.
✦The Windows side
The Windows side ships today.
The free Windows host runs on Windows 10 (build 19041+) and Windows 11 — Home editions included, no Pro upgrade, no RDP. The host GPU encodes the stream in hardware — H.265, with H.264 fallback, on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel. Pairing is a QR code or a Device ID and PIN, with a new PIN anytime, and every session is end-to-end encrypted.
Install it now — your PC is ready for Vision Pro today, through the iPad app.
The same host powers remote desktop on Windows 11 Home, cloud gaming, 3D & CAD, and trading desks — see every use case. Connectivity model: how it works. Security: the details.
✦Games, honestly
Games, honestly
PC games stream to Vision Pro as flat-screen streaming — that's the design. On the shipping iPad and Mac clients the same engine runs up to 6K at 120 FPS, with ~8 ms of processing latency on LAN (the rest is your display's own refresh cadence).
Flat, not VR
Your games render flat — VR titles don't stream as VR. There is no SteamVR pass-through and no immersive-title streaming, and Remio doesn't claim otherwise. Flat-screen streaming is the whole, honest pitch.
On a big virtual screen
That desktop lands on a giant virtual screen — cinema-sized, in practice limited by where you place it.
GPU-encoded in hardware
H.265, with H.264 fallback, on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs — the encode never touches the CPU, so frame rates stay high.
Low-latency ceiling
A buttery 120 FPS. The processing pipeline — capture, hardware encode, the LAN hop, hardware decode — costs about 8 ms on LAN, measured internally on shipping clients; the rest is your display's own refresh cadence. Vision Pro runs the same engine today through the iPad app, and the native visionOS client in development is built on it.

✦vs a desk of monitors
Vision Pro vs a desk full of monitors
One big floating screen that fits in a bag. Phase 02 brings instant display switching to the spatial window — switch between your computer's monitors, one at a time, without leaving the headset. No wall of panels to rent or ship.
✦Questions
Common questions about Windows on Vision Pro
Is there a native Vision Pro app?
Not yet for the native visionOS client — it is in active development. Phase 01, virtual display, is the first milestone, and early access opens through the waitlist on the Vision Pro page. The client is 100% native — built with the same Apple frameworks visionOS uses for its own apps, on the same engine that already ships on iPad and Mac. Today the Remio iPad app already installs on Apple Vision Pro and streams your Windows PC from the free Windows host, so your PC is ready now.
Can I play PC games on Vision Pro with this?
As flat-screen streaming, yes — that is the design. The host GPU encodes the stream in hardware (H.265, with H.264 fallback, on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel), and on the shipping iPad and Mac clients the same engine runs up to 6K at 120 FPS, with ~8 ms of processing latency on LAN (the rest is your display's own refresh cadence). On Vision Pro that desktop lands on a giant virtual screen you can place anywhere in the room. What it is not: VR streaming. VR titles do not stream as VR — there is no SteamVR or stereoscopic pass-through. Your games render flat, exactly as they do on a monitor.
Do I need a Microsoft account or Windows Pro?
No to both. The Remio host is its own native app, so it runs on Windows 10 (build 19041 and later) and Windows 11 — Home editions included — with no Pro upgrade and no RDP involved. And Remio requires no account of any kind: no Microsoft account, no email, no password. Devices pair with a QR code or a Device ID and PIN shown on the host (with a new PIN anytime), and session keys are negotiated directly between your devices.
How big can the screen get?
The Vision Pro page states the target plainly: your desktop as a single floating screen at full resolution, in a spatial window you can place anywhere in the room. Cinema-sized, in practice, limited by where you put it rather than by a panel. Instant switching between your computer's monitors, from inside the spatial window, is phase 02 of the visionOS roadmap.
Is it free?
Free, with no card required — on every platform. Unattended access, display switching, audio, Wake-on-LAN, 120 FPS streaming, and end-to-end encryption all ship free, with no time limit — true for the Windows host and the Remio iPad app on Vision Pro today. Remio Pro is a separate, optional subscription for extras like two-way file transfer and extra virtual displays.
