Changelog · in active development

Built in the open. One release at a time.

Every feature, improvement, and fix, written down. Behind-the-scenes work that does not change anything you see or feel is intentionally left out — if it does not make Remio better for you, it does not belong here.

The foundation

This is the one. After months of closed development, Remio opens its doors. The first public beta ships with the macOS Host and iOS Client — a full remote desktop experience that feels like the future.

macOS Host iOS Client
Added
  • First public beta — available for everyone to try.
  • macOS Host app — install on your Mac and stream from anywhere.
  • iOS Client app — full remote control from your iPhone or iPad.
  • PIN pairing — connect devices with a simple 4-digit PIN, no accounts needed.
  • Touch-to-input mapping — natural touch gestures translated to desktop interactions.
Improved
  • Direct device-to-device streaming — your Mac talks straight to your iPhone or iPad. Minimal latency, no middlemen.
  • Hardware-accelerated encoding — Apple Silicon does the heavy lifting for butter-smooth capture.
v0.4.0-alpha 2026-01-15

Going native

We made a hard call. We threw away the old cross-platform shell and rebuilt Remio as a real Mac app and a real iPhone app. It hurt. The result was 3x the performance and an experience we are finally proud of.

macOS Host iOS Client Mac Client
Added
  • 100 percent native apps — Made for Mac, Made for iPhone and iPad, from the ground up.
  • New streaming engine — completely redesigned for smoother, snappier video.
  • Redesigned pairing flow — smoother, faster device connection.
Improved
  • 3x faster frame delivery — no more cross-platform overhead between you and the screen.
  • 50 percent lower memory usage — lean, purpose-built for each device.
  • Instant app launch — cold start under 500 ms.
v0.3.0-alpha 2025-12-10

The protocol

The invisible backbone that makes everything possible. We built Remio's own way of moving data between devices — fast, lean, and extensible enough to carry the project for years. Plus crystal-clear audio and smarter video.

macOS Host iOS Client
Added
  • Audio streaming — low-latency, high-fidelity audio from your remote machine.
  • Multi-codec support — H.264 for compatibility, H.265 for sharper picture at half the bandwidth.
  • Adaptive bitrate — quality adjusts automatically to network conditions.
Improved
  • Frames arrive faster — no parsing overhead between the wire and the screen.
  • Lean data format cuts bandwidth use by roughly 40 percent.
v0.2.0-alpha 2025-11-04

First light

The moment we will never forget — seeing a remote screen appear on a phone for the first time. Laggy. Ugly. But it worked. This was the moment Remio became real.

macOS Host iOS Client
Added
  • Basic screen capture — first working version of desktop-to-device streaming.
  • First successful remote connection — two devices, one dream.
  • Connection server — Remio's own service for helping devices find each other.
  • Smart network routing so devices can reach each other through tricky networks.
  • Live screen capture, the way macOS intends it.
v0.1.0 2025-10-01

Day one

Every product starts with a question. Ours was: why does every remote desktop tool feel like it was built in 2005? So we opened Xcode, created a new project, and started building the answer. No funding, no team — just conviction.

macOS Host
Added
  • Project inception — first commit, first dream.
  • Architecture design — host and client apps with a direct device-to-device link.
  • Proof of concept — validated that low-latency streaming is achievable on Apple Silicon.
  • Built native on Apple from day one, with our own connection server.
