It ignores the keyboard if you move the mouse outside of the remote control window.More annoying than a real problem but I miss iRapp's consistent clarity. Text becomes almost too blurry to read when scrolling slowly, but sharpens quickly when you stop scrolling.Mouse scroll wheel moves XCode scrollbar very slowly compared to iRapp (actually I found a "Scroll Sensitivity" in preferences and at max setting it's not too bad but still feels slightly slow).VNC supports multiple screen compression protocols and I suspect Remotix is implementing the Apple-native protocol. I recommend 'Adaptive' screen quality because 'Full' is noticeably slow and 'Medium' shows many colors as the wrong tint. In fact, it's almost as fast as iRapp was, and it doesn't have any problems with system keys.

I finally tried a trial of Remotix which costs $39 and uses the VNC protocol, yet for some reason it's enormously faster when connecting to OS X's built-in VNC server (known as 'Screen Sharing' in system settings) than any of the other clients. UltraVNC was the fastest of the lot if set to "Ultra" speed on a LAN but drawing menus would still stall for up to 5 seconds and it has zero support for sending Cmd key. I've tried all the free VNC clients: RealVNC, TightVNC, TigerVNC, UltraVNC, and TurboVNC and they are all laggy in various places, even on a LAN, and each has various problems with transmitting system keys, especially Cmd-Tab.

So far, I have resisted paying Aqua $249 knowing that their software may become useless with a future macOS update and they might not fix it for 1+ years again. iRapp had OS X El Capitan support a few months after it was released, but when I asked for a trial license from Aqua they said Aqua is still a week or more out from having a beta with support for El Capitan (and this was over a year after EC was released!). Aqua is supposedly faster (they've improved on the RDP protocol and call it AAP) but unfortunately they are slow in development. In fact, Aqua was first with RDP and they sued iRapp for reverse engineering their product, but lost the case.

Even a trial license I had a copy of wouldn't install without their license server being up.Īfter some research, I found that Aqua Connect is the only iRapp competitor around that offers an OS X RDP server. As of around my license for iRapp server said it was blocked because it couldn't contact the license server and I could find no way to get it working again. The VNC server built into your Mac is free, easy to switch on, and supported by Apple.IRapp was my favorite fast screen sharing server for OS X, but they went bankrupt around June 2016 and their license server was taken down at some point.

These are no longer needed with Mac OS X 10.4 and later. There are a number of VNC servers available for the Mac. The other computer does not need to be a Mac it can be a Windows PC.
With recent editions of Mac OS X, Apple has moved to a more sophisticated method of screen sharing. A VNC server lets you control your Mac from another computer using the VNC protocol. More recent versions are available on our VNC on Mac OS X page.
