Check out VNC Viewer for macOS today!

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).

What's new in this version:

New:
- You can now drag application windows between RealVNC Viewer windows when using Multi-Window mode
- The toolbar that is displayed during a remote access session can now be pinned in place using the ToolbarPin parameter, found in the Expert section of RealVNC Viewer’s Preferences
- It is now possible to send the clipboard content as keystrokes to a VNC Server. This is useful to “paste” text where standard clipboard pasting is unavailable, such as on the Windows logon screen. This feature is accessible via the F8 menu and can be configured using the ClipboardKeystrokesEnable parameter.
- You can now retrieve a list of connected VNC Viewer users in RealVNC Server with the -getconnections argument. For example, on Windows, “C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC Server\vncserver.exe” -service -getconnection

Improved:
- The Session Information dialog now clearly shows whether a cloud connection is peer-to-peer or relayed
- When connecting to a RealVNC Server configured to use Interactive System Authentication, RealVNC Viewer will now correctly focus the appropriate button
- Keyboard shortcuts for the menu items on the “F8 Menu”, accessible during a remote access session, work correctly in all supported locales

Fixed:
- Resolved an issue where On-Demand Assist sessions could end unexpectedly while signed in to RealVNC Viewer with SSO
- Address Book connections for a cloud-joined RealVNC Server no longer appear multiple times in a group
