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!

User reviews

The application was free and billed as free and have been using it for 2 years without being asked for a subscription. The publishers pulled rug out and now it asks for a subscription to connect to my devices. I will find a more suitable product for my needs that at least advertises a price rather than builds dependency and charges afterwards. I cannot reccomend this product less.

It has my favorite interface for controlling a Pc from the phone. And the cloud connection makes it super easy to punch through Nats. Edit: since they retired the home plan and i got business plus, ive had lots of issues connecting. Sometimes its not available on network even though i see it fine on the monitor, sometimes it runs super slow and bad quality even though server and client both have solid connections. Im guessing the slow down is somewhere in the relay

Simply the best. Intuitive interface, free personal use (with a reasonable limit of three devices), and excellent quality for the service. In terms of purpose-built software, this truly is above and beyond. Edit: Changed to reflect the restrictions of the Lite license, which replaced the now-discontinued Home license and now maxes out at 3 devices instead of 5.
