Tomaco · Remote Desktop for Mac

Your Mac, in your pocket

Powered by JTH Protocol

One thing,
done right.

No Windows. No Android. Focusing only on the Apple ecosystem is what makes native-grade feel and picture quality possible. On your local network that means up to 5K resolution at up to 120 fps — a high-bitrate, low-latency stream whose bitrate adapts to your network in real time.

Zero-config discovery

Your Mac shows up automatically on the same Wi-Fi. Tap to pair — no IP hunting, no router plugins.

End-to-end encryption

TLS-PSK encrypted channel plus Secure Enclave hardware device keys, with manual approval on first pairing. Your Mac stays yours.

The JTH low-latency protocol

Tomaco's own transport: a full hardware HEVC pipeline with separate control and media channels, adaptive bitrate that reacts in under a second, experimental QUIC for lossy links, and still frames that progressively refine to full clarity.

Audio passthrough, driver-free

Your Mac's sound plays right on your iPhone / iPad. Others make you install a virtual audio driver — Tomaco captures system audio natively. No drivers, no reboot; connect and the sound is just there.

Zero-lag local pointer

The cursor is rendered locally, fully decoupled from network latency. Scrolling has real inertia and rubber-banding, and the cursor changes shape with content.

Virtual Display Pro

Control a closed-lid MacBook or a headless Mac mini with a dedicated 5K / 120Hz screen — no monitor required.

File transfer & clipboard sync

Two-way clipboard sync and two-way multi-file transfer between iPhone and Mac.

Your home network, anywhere

Away from home? Pair Tomaco with the free Tailscale app (guide built in): point-to-point connections with no servers to host and no third party relaying your data — plus Wake-on-LAN to wake a sleeping Mac before you connect.

Full keyboard, smart shortcuts

Type naturally with full keyboard passthrough and ⌘ ⌥ ⌃ ⇧ modifiers. The smart shortcut bar Pro suggests the right shortcuts for whichever Mac app is in front, and system gestures like Mission Control are one tap away.

Mac setup in four steps.

The free Tomaco Helper is notarized by Apple and lives quietly in your menu bar.
