Versions:
Remio Client is a remote desktop control application developed by Remio for Windows PCs, currently available at version 2.8.11, with two versions documented in the catalog. Its purpose is to let a Windows user view and control another computer running Remio Host, whether that machine is reachable over the local network or across the internet. This makes it suitable for use cases such as remote technical support, accessing a workstation from another location, managing machines across multiple monitors, and transferring files between connected computers. Within a software catalog, Remio Client falls under the remote access and remote desktop category. The application is built from scratch using native WinUI 3, deliberately avoiding Electron or browser wrapper frameworks. It delivers low-latency, GPU-accelerated H.264 and H.265 video streaming, along with full keyboard and mouse control of the remote system. Additional capabilities include multi-monitor support, clipboard synchronization between the local and remote machines, drag-and-drop file transfer, and gamepad passthrough, the latter extending its usefulness to scenarios involving interactive or gaming workloads. Installation is performed on a per-user basis and does not require administrator privileges, which simplifies deployment in environments where users lack elevated rights. Remio Client also includes built-in automatic updates powered by WinSparkle, with updates signed end-to-end using EdDSA, allowing users to obtain the latest version with a single click while maintaining a verified update chain. Overall, Remio Client combines native Windows integration, hardware-accelerated streaming, and a broad set of control and transfer features to provide a complete solution for operating a remote computer running Remio Host from a Windows PC.
