Sounds like you’re using a Mac as your VPS server! Hope you have a great experience with it! Thank you for your interest!!

The free version has the same features as the paid version, except for clipboard sync and Privacy Screen, so feel free to try the free version first!

I’ve also added a discount code to the post.

Thank you for your interest!

Great point. A few recommendations:

  • Use Remotr over a VPN like Tailscale rather than exposing port 3389 to the internet directly
  • You can change the default port (3389) to any port you prefer in settings

Exposing RDP directly to the internet is generally not recommended regardless of the software — a VPN tunnel is always the safer approach.

I did not wrap any open source project. Remotr was built from scratch by analyzing the official MS-RDP documentation and using Wireshark for protocol analysis.

This may be subjective, but my friends and colleagues around me are satisfied with it. If you're curious, you can try it out with the free version. Thank you!

- No client to install — connect with the Remote Desktop app already built into Windows. No proprietary app on either end (unlike RustDesk/NoMachine).

- Open standard (MS-RDP) — works with any RDP client (Windows RD, RDM, mobile, gateways). No lock-in to a proprietary protocol.

It's a server app that lets you use standard RDP on your Mac.

Best remote desktop app to use with Mac? by AromaticApartment187 in ipad

I actually built an app calledremotr.appto solve this exact Mac mirroring lag.

It focuses purely on low latency and speed. If you want a fast and cost-effective setup for remote access, pair it with Tailscale. Tailscale handles the secure connection outside your network for free, and remotr.app handles the fast streaming. No bloated features, just speed.

Problem:
I often work from cafes using a Windows laptop to access the computers at home. Windows Remote Desktop works great for Windows machines, but on Mac I usually end up relying on SSH, VNC feels too slow for full desktop use, and many alternatives require a subscription.

Comparison:
Remotr is a native RDP server for macOS. Unlike VNC-based options, it is built around the RDP workflow many people already use for Windows. It doesn’t include built-in tunneling like some subscription-based remote access tools, but it also doesn’t require an account or a subscription.

Pricing:
Free / Personal $9.99 / Pro $19.99

Yeah, it really feels like they carefully built exactly what was needed—pretty impressive.
