In development
Your computers,within reach.
See the screen, type, run a terminal and move files on your own computers — from another computer or your iPhone. End-to-end encrypted, between devices you paired yourself.

- End-to-end encrypted
- Per-device permissions
- Works on your local network
How it works
Three steps, no account.
Remote connects your devices directly. There is nothing to sign up for and no cloud dashboard to trust.
- 01
Install on your computers
Every desktop installation is both a host and a controller: it can be controlled, and it can control your other computers.
- 02
Pair with a QR code or a link
The code is single-use and expires in five minutes. Both devices show the same six-digit code, and you approve the pairing on the computer itself.
- 03
Connect and work
Open the live screen with keyboard and mouse, a terminal or the files — from a computer or from your iPhone.
Features
Everything you need from the other computer.
Your iPhone as the controller
Use it as a trackpad or touch the screen directly. Dictate text with Apple speech recognition or an on-device Whisper model.
A real terminal
A full shell on the remote computer — not a list of canned commands.
Files, safely
Browse, upload, preview PDFs and images, and edit text files with conflict detection. Deleted items go to the Trash.
Several sessions
Keep connections to different computers open at once.
Keyboard that feels right
Swap ⌘ and Ctrl between Mac and PC.
Device notes
Notes about each computer, stored only on your device.
10 languages
The whole interface, including every security text.
Platforms
Mac, PC, Linux and iPhone.
We publish exactly what works today. Windows and Linux are implemented and are being tested on real machines.

Security & privacy
Built so that even our servers can’t look in.
Remote uses standard, well-reviewed cryptography from audited libraries — it doesn’t invent its own ciphers.
A relay can see
- Device IDs
- IP addresses
- Online timing
- Message sizes
It never sees
- Your screen
- Keyboard & mouse
- Terminal
- Files
- Pairing codes
Device identities
Each installation creates its own Ed25519 and X25519 keys, stored in Keychain, Credential Manager or Secret Service.
Pairing you can verify
A random 256-bit single-use token that expires in five minutes, a six-digit code to compare, and approval on the host.
Encrypted end to end
Signaling is sealed with X25519, HKDF and XChaCha20-Poly1305. Relays forward messages they cannot read.
Bound to your devices
Screen and data travel over WebRTC DTLS-SRTP, cryptographically tied to the identities you paired.
Six separate permissions
Screen, input, apps, terminal, reading files and writing files — checked on every request, revocable at any moment.
Access on your terms
Permanent, ask every time, or temporary access, with a limit on how long a session may last.
Security log
See who connected and when. Connection history keeps metadata only.
Face ID before connecting
On iPhone, Remote can ask for Face ID or Touch ID before every connection.
Remote has extensive automated security tests but has not had an independent third-party audit yet. We will say so here until it has.
Use cases
For the moments you’re not at that desk.
From the sofa
Check on a long export or close an app on your Mac — right from your iPhone.
On the build machine
Open a terminal on the computer in the other room and run the command there.
That one file
Grab the document you left on the other computer without emailing it to yourself.
Helping at home
Give a family computer “ask every time” access, so nothing happens without a yes.
Download
Coming soon. For every computer you own.
Remote is in development. Public, signed builds will be published here — until then there is nothing to download.

FAQ
Good questions to ask.
Do I need an account?
No. Devices pair directly with a QR code or a link. There is no account, sign-in or cloud dashboard.
Does Remote work over the internet?
Remote works on your local network out of the box — each desktop app includes its own relay and finds nearby computers automatically. Connecting over the internet needs a public signaling server and a TURN server; this can be configured in Settings → Network, but it is still being tested.
Can Erti Cloud see my screen or files?
No. Relays only forward end-to-end encrypted messages. A relay can see technical metadata such as device IDs, IP addresses and traffic timing, but not your screen, input, terminal, files or pairing codes.
Which platforms are supported?
macOS has been verified on real hardware as both host and controller. Windows and Linux are implemented and are being tested. The iPhone app works as a controller. There is no Android app.
Can I limit what a paired device can do?
Yes. Every paired device has six separate permissions — screen, input, apps, terminal, reading files and writing files — and an access mode: permanent, ask every time, or temporary. Changes apply to open sessions immediately.
Has Remote been independently audited?
Not yet. Remote is covered by automated security tests, including forged identities, tampering, permission checks and path traversal, but no independent third-party audit has been performed.
Does Remote use AI?
No. There are no language models or agents in Remote. Dictation on iPhone only turns your speech into typed text.
