MonkViewer
Remote desktop. Your infrastructure.

Your desktop.
Within reach.

A fast way to reach your Mac or Windows PC — from the next room or across the internet. Your screen, sound, and input. On your terms.

Official download packages and store releases are not yet available. We’re preparing them for release.

ONE HOST. YOUR DEVICES.

Made for the connection

Keep the desktop. Lose the distance.

A direct path to your screen

Hardware HEVC with H.264 fallback, low-buffer video, and forward error correction over UDP. Built to keep your screen and input moving together.

More than a picture

Stream sound, send keyboard and mouse input, and sync text and image clipboards on supported clients. Desktop apps can both host and connect.

Your choice of network

Connect on your LAN, use a VPN or a forwarded address, or run your own relay. Direct peer-to-peer connections are tried before relay fallback.

Start with your device

One connection. Different screens.

MonkViewer is in active development. Official packages and store releases are being prepared; download links will appear here when ready.

macOS

Host + client · macOS 15+
Package coming

Apple silicon is tested. A Developer ID signed and notarized desktop package is being prepared for direct download.

Windows

Host + client · Windows 10 / 11
Package coming

64-bit desktop app. Hosting needs a supported hardware video encoder; NVIDIA NVENC is tested. Download availability will be announced here.

iPhone & iPad

Client · iOS / iPadOS 18+
App Store coming

Connect to a desktop from your phone or tablet. The App Store release is being prepared and is not published yet.

Android

Native client
In development

The native Android client is undergoing validation. Package and store availability will be announced after release checks.

Packages will include applicable license and third-party notices. No desktop package or store download is offered on this page yet.

Bring your own infrastructure

Anywhere access.
Your own relay.

The local network needs no server. For internet connections behind difficult NATs, a small Linux server can help paired devices find each other and forward encrypted traffic.

  1. 1Choose a Linux server.
    Use a server with a public IP and UDP 9877 open.
  2. 2Run the official relay image.
    The public image and package setup instructions are coming. No image is advertised here yet.
  3. 3Add the relay link to both devices.
    Pair using the host's PIN or password. The link contains a secret — share it only with people you trust.
Official relay image — coming soon

Host          Your Linux server
Network       Public IP · UDP 9877
Connection    Direct first · relay fallback
Session data  Encrypted between paired devices
Access        Private relay link

Package setup instructions will follow release.
The relay forwards ciphertext. It can still see IP addresses, public keys, packet sizes, and timing.
Designed for paired connections

Secure connections.
Clear limitations.

Pair devices once using a PIN or password. Later sessions authenticate the paired keys and encrypt the stream end to end.

Privacy & data flow ↗

MonkViewer's cryptographic design and implementation are not independently audited. Consider these limits before relying on it for sensitive access.

LAN discovery exposes local host metadata. Relays cannot read session contents, but network metadata remains visible. Paired devices can control the host.
