What Remio is
Remio is a native remote desktop app for streaming and controlling a computer from another device. It supports macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, iPadOS, and Android, with desktop and mobile apps. Streams can reach 6K at 120 fps using hardware H.265 encoding. Devices pair by QR code or a six-digit code that renews every five minutes, and no account is required. Remio connects directly when possible and uses an encrypted relay when a network blocks that route. Sessions use DTLS-SRTP end-to-end encryption, with keys negotiated between devices. Remio says it does not log, store, or inspect screen content, keystrokes, files, or clipboard data, though its apps use crash reporting and usage analytics. The free plan includes unlimited sessions and computers, unlimited device pairs, system audio, clipboard sync, controllers, a device-shaped display, and sending files to the computer. Remio supports up to four players and offers file transfer; session recording is not supported. Pro costs $1.99 a month.
