About VNC Viewer - Remote Desktop
VNC Viewer remote desktop
VNC® Viewer turns your phone into a remote desktop, 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.
Just visit realvnc.com and download VNC Connect remote access software to each computer you want to control. Then sign in to VNC Viewer 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).
RealVNC® are the original inventors of VNC remote access technology, and we're confident you'll love what VNC Viewer has to offer. If you're still not convinced, check out our reviews!

User reviews
Runs very stable. I use it to connect to Linux and it's just like a normal app which allows me to switch to and from very easily.
Easiest to use
Very guy
Wonderful app I use it daily to control a computer hooked up to my television via smartphone
It saved me, while My laptop's screen monitor was busted and I installed ubuntu 16.04 in laptop using hdmi to TV and used on my mobile through wireless vnc. When I will start earning I will donate to developers of this app.
