VNC Viewer turns your Mac into remote desktop software, 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.
Then sign in to VNCViewer 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 VNC 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.
VNC 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).
Saving you time, money and much more:
Reduce cost
Decrease support call repeat rates, call handling time and on-site travel costs.
Save time
Reduce the need for specialized training and documentation for remote support.
Improve quality
Provide engaging, real-time service that improves employee and customer satisfaction.
Mitigate risk
Anticipate and prevent system failures and the risk associated with on-site service.
Increase uptime
Avoid downtime with faster problem identification and resolution.
Meet goals
Support business and compliance objectives with audit and security functionality.
