RealFrameDocs

What is RealFrame?

See and control one of your computers from another one, anywhere.

Install the same app on both computers. Sign in to the same account. Now one shows up on the screen of the other, live.

No VPN. No ports to open. Nothing to change on your router.

Two words to know

  • Host: the computer you want to reach.
  • Client: the computer you are sitting at.

One download does both. Hosting stays off until you turn it on. So installing the app does not make your laptop reachable.

The RealFrame download page

One install per computer.
