What's Next
We're just getting started. Here's a peek at what we're working on — because you deserve to know where this is going.
"The Foundation"
This is the one. After months of closed development, Remio opens its doors. The first public beta ships with macOS Host and iOS Client — a full remote desktop experience that feels like the future. We're nervous, excited, and couldn't be more proud.
✦ Features
- 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 6-digit PIN, no accounts needed
- Touch-to-input mapping — natural touch gestures translated to desktop interactions
⚡ Performance
- WebRTC peer-to-peer streaming — direct connection for minimal latency
- Hardware-accelerated encoding — leveraging Apple Silicon for butter-smooth capture
"Going Native"
We made a hard call: we threw away the Flutter codebase and rewrote everything in native SwiftUI. It hurt. But the result? A 3x performance improvement and a codebase we can actually be proud of. Sometimes you have to take two steps back to leap forward.
✦ Features
- 100% native SwiftUI — rebuilt from scratch for iOS and macOS
- New streaming pipeline — completely redesigned video delivery architecture
- Redesigned pairing flow — smoother, faster device connection
⚡ Performance
- 3x faster frame delivery — native rendering eliminates Flutter overhead
- 50% lower memory usage — lean, purpose-built architecture
- Instant app launch — cold start under 500ms
🔧 Infrastructure
- Modular Swift package architecture for maintainability
- Separated streaming, input, and UI into independent packages
"The Protocol"
The invisible backbone that makes everything possible. We designed a custom binary protocol using FlatBuffers — zero-copy, blazing fast, and extensible enough to carry us for years. Added multi-codec video and crystal-clear audio streaming.
✦ Features
- Audio streaming via Opus codec — low-latency, high-fidelity audio from your remote machine
- Multi-codec support — H.264 for compatibility, H.265/HEVC for efficiency
- Adaptive bitrate — automatically adjusts quality to network conditions
🔧 Infrastructure
- FlatBuffers protocol — custom binary protocol for zero-copy message parsing
- Schema-first design with .fbs files as single source of truth
- Built for forward/backward compatibility across versions
⚡ Performance
- Zero-copy deserialization — no parsing overhead on incoming frames
- Efficient binary encoding reduces bandwidth by ~40% vs JSON
"First Light"
The moment we'll never forget — seeing a remote screen appear on our phone for the first time. Laggy? Sure. Ugly? Absolutely. But it worked. We screamed. This was the moment Remio became real.
✦ Features
- Basic screen capture — first working implementation of desktop-to-device streaming
- First successful remote connection — two devices, one dream
🔧 Infrastructure
- WebRTC signaling server — custom Go-based signaling for peer discovery
- ICE/STUN/TURN negotiation for NAT traversal
- Basic frame capture pipeline using ScreenCaptureKit
"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.
🔧 Infrastructure
- Project inception — first commit, first dream
- Architecture design — Host/Client model with P2P streaming
- Proof of concept — validated that low-latency streaming is achievable on Apple Silicon
- Tech stack decided: Swift/SwiftUI, WebRTC, Go signaling server
