VNCForge — Cocoro

VNCForge turns your iPad into a full remote control for your Mac, using Apple's own Screen Sharing (VNC) protocol with native authentication — no VNC password workarounds, no extra software to install on your Mac.

Control your Mac like you're there

Trackpad-style cursor control, tap to click, two-finger tap to right-click, two-finger scroll
Pinch to zoom and pan — great for high-resolution displays
Full keyboard support, with on-screen Shift/Ctrl/Option/Command keys when using the software keyboard
Automatic detection of multiple displays, or draw your own region to isolate a single monitor or window

Manage multiple Macs

Save as many connections as you need, each with its own host, credentials, and settings
Organize connections into collapsible, color-coded groups
Duplicate a connection when adding a Mac that only differs by IP address
Import and export your connection list as a plain JSON file (passwords are never included)

Connect from anywhere

Works over a VPN tunnel just as well as your local network
Optionally trigger a Shortcuts automation to bring up your VPN before connecting — and skip it automatically when you're already on the right Wi-Fi network
Adjustable image quality to trade detail for speed on slower connections, with a live network activity graph

Security, your way

Passwords are never required to be saved — type them fresh each time, or opt in per connection
Saved passwords are protected by Face ID or your device passcode
Nothing syncs to iCloud or any external server — everything stays on your iPad

Built for real remote-support work: checking in on a home Mac while traveling, helping family or clients over a network, or managing several machines from one iPad.
