GET STARTED

Install and configure a VNC server on the computer you want to access.

Make sure the computer is reachable from your Android device. For connections over the internet, configure a secure route such as an SSH tunnel and the required network access.

Open VNC Viewer and add a connection using the computer's IP address or hostname and VNC port.

Enter the VNC password, connect and start controlling your desktop.

MADE FOR VNC

This app is a VNC client, not a remote-hosting service. A compatible VNC server must be installed and running on the computer you want to access. Available features and security options depend on the VNC server, its configuration and your network.

Whether you are accessing a Windows workstation, managing a Linux desktop, checking a server or connecting to another VNC-compatible computer, VNC Viewer puts remote screen access and control in the palm of your hand.

Note: Network access, server configuration and firewall rules may be required. Always use trusted connections and protect your VNC credentials.
