Remote Window for Mac/Preview 1.5.0/macOS 14+

They get one window. You keep the rest.

Remote Window shares a single Mac window with any phone, tablet or browser: live video, the app’s sound, and touch control if you allow it. Your viewer opens a link. That’s their whole setup.

01Use cases

Six places a window can go.

Same Mac, six different screens. Each window takes a shortcut through a hypercube on the way, mostly because we liked drawing one.

Xcode iPhone

Watch a build finish from the couch.

Share just the Xcode window to your phone. Follow the progress live and know the moment it succeeds.

  • Live video
  • Local Wi‑Fi

Keynote TV

Present one window. Keep the rest private.

Put your slides on any screen with a browser. Notifications and other windows never leave your Mac.

  • Only the window you pick

Music iPhone

Run the music from across the room.

Hear the app’s sound on your phone and tap to skip a track. The Mac follows.

  • App audio
  • Tap to control

Figma iPad

Walk a client through a design.

Send a private link. They pinch to zoom on their iPad, and the zoom happens on your Mac.

  • Pinch to zoom
  • Internet

Safari a teammate’s laptop

Get help without handing over your Mac.

Nobody joins until you click Approve. Allow control, or keep it view only.

  • You approve
  • View only or control

Notes iPhone on 5G

Your Mac, from anywhere.

Type into the shared window from your phone, over cellular. Keep the link open for an hour, or until you end it.

  • Keyboard
  • Session timers

02How it works

Three clicks on the Mac.

This is a working copy of the app, not a screenshot. Pick a window, create a session, approve the viewer.

  1. Pick a windowOnly that window is shared. Your desktop, notifications and other apps stay on your Mac.
  2. Create a sessionChoose how long it lasts, from 1 to 24 hours or until you end it. Then share the link or QR code.
  3. Approve your viewerThey tap Connect to Mac. Nothing streams until you click Approve.

03For your viewer

For them, it’s a link.

No app. No account. They tap Connect to Mac, you approve, and they’re in. The phone below is a working demo, so try the whole thing.

04The fine print

The fine print, in large print.

  1. 01

    Only the window you pick

    Remote Window never captures your whole screen. Notifications, the menu bar and every other window stay on your Mac.

  2. 02

    You approve every viewer

    Nobody joins until you say yes, every time. Give them control, or keep it view only.

  3. 03

    Links that expire

    A link stays open for 1, 2, 3, 5 or 24 hours, or until you end sharing. Your call.

  4. 04

    App audio, never your mic

    Share the sound of the app if you want to. Your microphone is never part of it.

  5. 05

    Touch, trackpad, keyboard

    Viewers tap, scroll, pinch and type from the browser, or switch to a trackpad for precise clicks.

  6. 06

    Internet or Local Wi‑Fi

    Share across the world or keep it on your network. Video and control are encrypted end to end, and the server never sees your screen.

06Questions

Fair questions.

Does my viewer need an app?

No. They open the link or scan the QR code in Safari or any modern browser.

Can they see anything else on my Mac?

No. Remote Window captures only the window you pick and never switches to full‑screen capture.

How long does a link last?

You choose 1, 2, 3, 5 or 24 hours, or until you end it. While it’s open, the same link can let a viewer back in, and you approve each time.

Does it work away from my Wi‑Fi?

Yes. Anyone can install Remote Window and choose Internet to share over cellular or another network. The app sets up the connection automatically.

Send a window somewhere.
