About this app

Remio is a free remote desktop app for Android phones and tablets: control your Mac, Windows PC or Linux computer from your phone, at home or over the internet, up to 6K at 120 FPS.

Every touch lands right away and text stays crisp — it feels like you're sitting at your computer. Free to use at home or at work: no time limit, no ads, no card to enter.

▸ CONNECT IN SECONDS

Install the free Remio Host on your computer, then scan its QR code or type the Device ID and PIN. No account, no router setup, no IT department — on the same Wi‑Fi or from anywhere.

▸ REMOTE SUPPORT WITH AN INVITATION

Help a friend or family member with their computer, or get help on yours. Invite someone to a computer on your account for 1, 8 or 24 hours, choose what they can do — control, clipboard, files, sound — and revoke it any time. Nobody gets in until you say yes on the computer. Got a code? Join with it and use the computer with just what its owner allowed.

▸ FEELS LIKE YOUR MACHINE

• The remote desktop reshapes itself to your screen — live, pixel-perfect — and follows when you rotate
• A dedicated virtual display sized to your device, not a squeezed copy of your monitor
• Up to 6K at 120 FPS with hardware H.265, and about 8 ms of processing latency on your local network
• HDR from a Mac with Apple silicon or a Windows PC, on a phone or tablet with an HDR screen
• Close the MacBook lid and keep working — no dummy HDMI dongle

▸ TOUCH THAT MAKES SENSE

• Touchpad mode turns your screen into a precise trackpad — a remote mouse and keyboard for your PC. Direct Touch taps exactly where you see it.
• Tap to click, two-finger tap to right-click, scroll, pinch to zoom, press and hold to drag, three-finger swipes between desktops
• The keyboard never covers what you type, and shortcuts carry through — with a real Windows key
• Use a stylus or S Pen, a keyboard and mouse, or your controller to play PC games
• Every tap has a light feel. Works with TalkBack.

▸ A SECOND MONITOR FOR YOUR COMPUTER

Use your phone or tablet as an extra display for a Mac, Windows PC or Linux computer on your local network and move windows over to it. It extends your desktop instead of copying it.

▸ EVERYTHING WITHIN REACH

One board holds the keyboard, zoom, volume, files, apps, displays and settings, arranged your way. Hear your computer's sound, copy on one device and paste on the other, send files to your computer, read the text on screen, pick which screen to view, blank or lock the computer's screen, and keep it in view with Picture in Picture.

▸ PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Video, audio, input, clipboard and files are encrypted end to end. A direct peer-to-peer connection by default; an encrypted relay only when your network needs it. No ads, no data brokers — your screen is never logged or inspected.

▸ QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK

Can I control my PC from my phone? Yes — a Windows 11 or Windows 10 PC (Home included), a Mac or a Linux computer, from any Android phone or tablet.

Does it work on a different network? Yes — at home, at work or on mobile data, without opening ports on your router.

Is Remio really free? Yes — free to use, with no time limit and no ads.

Do I need an account? No — pair with a QR code, or the Device ID and PIN.

Can I use my tablet as a second monitor for my PC? Yes, on your local network.

Can I play PC games? Yes — with your controller, at up to 120 FPS.

Is it safe? Yes — everything is encrypted end to end, and only devices you've paired, or a guest you let in, can connect.

▸ WORKS WITH YOUR COMPUTERS

Remio Host — free at remio.net — runs on macOS, Windows and Linux. Remio also runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows PCs, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro. Remio for Android needs Android 12 or later.

Ratings and reviews

This App is like if Remote PC and Duet had a baby and it's incredible! Works great with the iPhone Duo as well!

This is the best remote desktop software I've used. It's clean, it's fast, and it just works. And it's free? No complaints, five stars

Very good app to connect PC and control them

What’s new

New in 3.7: a computer with sharing turned off now says "Sharing is off" right away. Zoomed in, the pointer and scrolling move at your finger's pace. Returning to Remio no longer shows a computer that is on as unreachable, and returning to a paused session asks before taking the computer from another device. A game controller gets its player back after the on-screen gamepad, and Remio opens faster.
