Rumskrot Remote Release Notes

Version 1.0.1 April 26, 2026

A proper iOS keyboard for your Mac, plus one-tap sign-in.

Arrow keys, F1–F12, Tab, Esc, Page Up/Down, Home/End, Forward Delete, plus Mission Control and App Exposé — all directly above the iOS keyboard.
Sticky modifier keys (⌘ ⌃ ⌥ ⇧) — tap to arm, sent with your next keystroke.
Reorder or remove keys on the bar to fit your workflow.
Bar auto-hides when a hardware keyboard is connected.

Opt in per host to type your macOS password right after connecting and sign in with one tap.
Reuses your saved login password by default; the unlock password is stored separately in your device's Keychain.
Re-prompts after a reconnect, and waits for the first framebuffer update before showing the prompt.

Initial release.

The first public release of Rumskrot Remote. Turn your iPhone or iPad into a full remote desktop for your Mac — with zero setup on the host side.

Zero install on your Mac — speaks the same VNC/RFB protocol macOS Screen Sharing uses natively.
Bonjour discovery — nearby Macs appear automatically, tap to connect.
Metal-accelerated framebuffer with all major VNC encodings (Tight, ZRLE, Hextile, Raw, RRE, CopyRect). Targets 30+ FPS on a local network.
Touch controls: drag to move the cursor, tap to click, two-finger tap to right-click, two-finger drag to scroll, pinch to zoom and pan.
Full software keyboard with Command, Control, Option, and Shift modifier keys.
Multi-monitor support — pick which display to view.
Text snippets to paste common commands or boilerplate with a single tap.
Authentication: macOS login credentials, VNC passwords, and Apple Remote Desktop. Credentials stored in the Keychain.
Performance options: custom VNC port, 16-bit performance mode, real-time diagnostics overlay (FPS, latency, bandwidth), configurable pointer speed, clipboard sync, auto-reconnect with exponential backoff.
No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. Direct peer-to-peer connections only.
