DualMac: VNC Remote Desktop

Control an authorized Mac from iPhone or iPad through Screen Sharing and an optional Companion.

Our take

Useful for checking a Mac mini or remote workstation

Direct VNC, keyboard shortcuts and display switching cover common remote-control tasks.

Keep in mind: Mac access and a configured LAN, Tailscale or SSH route are needed; enhanced streaming requires Companion and Tailscale.

What you can do

  • Native macOS Screen Sharing connection
  • Saved Macs and keyboard controls
  • Optional Companion streaming and file transfer

Good for

  • Owners managing their own Macs from an iPad

Consider alternatives for

  • Windows remote desktop or a hosted computer service

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 17.6.
  • Mac access and a configured LAN, Tailscale or SSH route are needed; enhanced streaming requires Companion and Tailscale.
