Host

Your computer, always ready.

Remio Host sits quietly on your Mac, PC, or Linux machine. It starts on boot, keeps streaming at the lock screen or with the lid closed, and shows everything a new device needs — QR code, Device ID and PIN — in one glance.

Optionally sign in to see every computer you own, on every device you carry.

Private by design

Zero-knowledge architecture. Your stream, your keys, your devices — nothing to breach on our side.

End-to-end encryption

End-to-end encryption protects video, audio, input and clipboard. Keys never leave your devices.

Direct device to device

No middleman server ever touches your stream. Encrypted relay only if your network blocks the direct path.

Privacy mode

Black out the host display and mute audio during remote sessions. Your work stays yours.

Adaptive quality

Intelligent bandwidth management keeps the stream smooth on any connection.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is Remio?
Remio is a 100% native, ultra-low-latency remote desktop application for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Android, Windows, and visionOS. It streams a host computer to client devices at up to 4K 60FPS with about 8 ms of processing latency on LAN — the rest is your display's own 60 Hz refresh cadence — over a direct peer-to-peer connection secured by end-to-end encryption. Remio is free, requires no account, and your stream never touches Remio's servers — even the relay only sees ciphertext.
Is Remio free?
Yes — Remio is free forever for personal use with no time limit, no trial, and no commercial-use restrictions. It includes end-to-end encryption, ~8 ms LAN processing latency, and native apps on all platforms. There are no paid tiers — every feature is included.
Do I need an account to use Remio?
No. Remio Free pairs two devices with a six-digit code — no email, no password, no central user database. This is fundamentally different from TeamViewer, AnyDesk, or Chrome Remote Desktop, all of which push you toward an account.
What is the best free remote desktop in 2026?
For low-latency native remote desktop work and play in 2026, Remio is the strongest free option: 100% native clients on every platform, about 8 ms of processing latency on LAN, 4K 60FPS streaming, end-to-end encryption, and no account required. Chrome Remote Desktop is also free but is browser-based, slower, and requires a Google account.
Is Remio a good alternative to TeamViewer?
Yes. Remio is free where TeamViewer's paid tiers start at $24.90/month, measures about 8 ms of processing latency on LAN (the rest is your display's 60 Hz refresh) where TeamViewer is tuned for support sessions rather than real-time work, streams up to 4K 60FPS, and pairs devices with a six-digit code without an account. TeamViewer suffered an APT29 breach in June 2024.
Is Remio a good alternative to AnyDesk?
Yes. AnyDesk was breached in early 2024, exposing production-system access. Remio uses direct peer-to-peer connections by default with no centralised routing of stream data, native SwiftUI/Compose/WinRT clients instead of AnyDesk's older legacy codebase, and about 8 ms of processing latency on LAN for real-time work.
Is Remio better than Parsec for gaming?
For latency-sensitive PC gaming, Remio is in the same latency class as Parsec on LAN — about 8 ms of processing — and completely free where Parsec Warp costs $9.99/month for 4:4:4 color and virtual displays. Remio now ships hosts for macOS, Windows, and Linux; Parsec still has the edge on a Linux client and a web client.
What platforms does Remio support?
Remio Client runs on iOS 18+, iPadOS 18+, macOS 15+, Android 12+, Windows 10/11. On Apple Vision Pro, the iPad app runs today. Remio Host runs on macOS 15+, Windows 10/11, and Linux (X11 and Wayland). All apps are 100% native — SwiftUI on Apple platforms, Jetpack Compose on Android, C++/WinRT on Windows. No Electron, no web wrappers.
How secure is Remio?
Every connection is end-to-end encrypted with DTLS-SRTP — the industry-standard WebRTC security model. Encryption keys are negotiated directly between your devices and never reach Remio's servers — even if Remio were breached, your stream content would remain confidential. The six-digit code pairs only your devices; no one else can connect.
Does Remio work over the internet or only on the same WiFi?
Both. On the same LAN, Remio negotiates a direct device-to-device connection with about 8 ms of processing latency (the rest is your display's 60 Hz refresh). Over the internet, Remio uses ICE/STUN to attempt a direct peer-to-peer path; if NAT traversal fails, it falls back to an encrypted Cloudflare Calls TURN relay. The connection is always end-to-end encrypted.
How do I install Remio?
Download Remio Host on the computer you want to access (Mac, Windows, or Linux). Install Remio Client on your phone, tablet, or laptop (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Android, Windows, or visionOS). The host shows a six-digit code — enter it once on your device and they're paired. The whole setup takes about 30 seconds.
Does Remio support Apple Pencil, gamepads, and trackpads?
Yes. Apple Pencil works as a pointer on iPad — point, tap, and scroll. MFi controllers, Xbox controllers, and PlayStation DualSense map their buttons straight to your games. Trackpad gestures including two-finger scroll and pinch-to-zoom work natively on iPad and Mac clients.
Does Remio collect user data?
No. Remio does not collect screen content, keystrokes, files, clipboard contents, or personal information. Remio does not require an account, so there is no user database to leak. The only data Remio processes is the ephemeral signaling needed for two devices to find each other before establishing the direct encrypted connection.
What hardware video codecs does Remio use?
Remio uses H.265 (HEVC) as its primary codec with hardware acceleration via VideoToolbox on Apple, MediaCodec on Android, and FFmpeg hevc_amf on AMD GPUs and NVENC on NVIDIA. H.264 is the fallback codec for older hardware.
Is Remio open source?
Remio is currently a free closed-source application with a public roadmap and active engineering blog. The signaling protocol uses FlatBuffers schemas that are publicly documented. An open-source release is on the long-term roadmap.
