MobiVNC

Your Mac, on your iPhone and iPad.

MobiVNC uses the Screen Sharing already built into macOS. Nothing to install on the Mac, no account to create, no subscription.

Coming to the App Store.

iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo · iOS 18 or later · Free for 7 days

Three steps, and you’re on your Mac.

  1. Turn on Screen Sharing

    System Settings › General › Sharing on your Mac.

  2. Open MobiVNC

    Macs on your network show up by themselves. Or add one by name or address.

  3. Sign in with your Mac account

    The same sign-in as Apple’s own Screen Sharing.

Fits your screen. No clutter.

Match This Screen reshapes your Mac to your iPhone or iPad: no black bars, and it follows when you rotate. On iPad your Mac is drawn at 2× for sharp text. One small control fades away; the rest of the screen is your Mac.

A trackpad under your thumb.

Questions and answers

How do I control my Mac from my iPhone or iPad?

Turn on Screen Sharing on your Mac (System Settings › General › Sharing), then open MobiVNC on your iPhone or iPad: Macs on your network show up by themselves, or you can add one by name or address. Sign in with your Mac account, the same sign-in as Apple’s own Screen Sharing.

Do I need to install anything on my Mac?

No. MobiVNC uses the Screen Sharing already built into macOS, so there is nothing to install on the Mac and no account to create. Even smooth video and sound need no helper app.

Does MobiVNC work with Windows or Linux computers?

Yes. MobiVNC also connects to standard VNC servers on Windows and Linux, such as TigerVNC and x11vnc, with VNC passwords, TLS encryption, Windows account sign-in and an optional SSH tunnel.

Is MobiVNC a subscription?

No. MobiVNC is free to try for 7 days; after that, connecting needs MobiVNC Full Unlock, a one-time purchase. Adding and editing computers stays free.

Can I watch video and hear my Mac’s sound with MobiVNC?

Yes, on Macs that support High Performance Screen Sharing: MobiVNC shows smooth video up to 120 Hz and plays your Mac’s sound, with no helper app.

Which devices does MobiVNC run on?

MobiVNC runs on iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo with iOS 18 or later. On iPad you can put each computer in its own window, side by side, and use a hardware keyboard, a mouse or trackpad, or Apple Pencil.

Does MobiVNC collect my data?

No. MobiVNC has no account and no analytics, and it connects straight from your device to your computer; nothing passes through CCSW LLC’s servers.
