About this app

RealVNC Viewer remote desktop


RealVNC® Viewer turns your phone into a remote desktop, giving you instant access to your Mac, Windows and Linux computers from anywhere in the world. You can view your computer's desktop remotely, and control its mouse and keyboard as though you were sitting down in front of it.

Just visit realvnc.com and download RealVNC Connect remote access software to each computer you want to control. Then sign in to RealVNC Viewer on your device using your RealVNC account credentials. Your remote computers automatically appear; simply tap one to screen share.

Alternatively, you can connect directly to RealVNC Connect with an Enterprise subscription or VNC-compatible software from third parties by entering the remote computer's IP address. Note that you may need to configure firewalls and port forward routers.

RealVNC Connect password-protects each remote computer out-of-the-box (you may need to enter the same user name and password you use to log in to your computer). All sessions are then encrypted end-to-end.

During a session, your device's touch screen serves as a trackpad to give you precise control of the remote desktop. Drag your finger to move the remote mouse cursor and tap anywhere to left-click (other gestures such as right-click and scroll are explained in-app).

RealVNC are the original inventors of VNC remote access technology, and we're confident you'll love what RealVNC Viewer has to offer. If you're still not convinced, check out our reviews!

The updates are getting worse and worse. When the toolbar was originally undocked it was a bit annoying but workable. Now with the movable toolbar i thought it would fix that, however now it becomes completely unusable when the "mouse" or keyboard controls are on screen because it disappears completely. In the mouse mode there's an X to close that (which is garbage i just want the bar up there) but in keyboard mode there's is absolutely nothing at all.

This one star will remain until the change that put the action menu into a bubble in the top left of the screen is reversed. Whoever came up with that should have their job terminated. You have effectively reduced or removed the screen real estate for most programs top left corner where, on windows, most of the menus are located. Additionally, the functionality of that bar is buggy as hell and cumbersome. What used to take one tap now takes two, increasing effort by literally 100%. Dumb.

A little rocky lately, but overall great. I have used this on many mobiles for many years. It let's me connect to my home computers while away from home, no fuss. Works perfectly on home/local network too. Recently the Devs meddled with the toolbar, upsetting many of us. Thankfully they either listened or intended the circular pin/unpin all along. A great addition. Either way, a couple of updates later, it works as good a ever. Even scaling the desktop so we can see the toolbars.
