Private window sharing for Mac

One window. Anywhere.

Share a single Mac window with any phone, tablet or browser — live video, app sound and touch control. Your viewer just opens a link.

Features

Everything it needs.
Nothing it doesn’t.

Only the window you pick

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

You approve every viewer

Nobody joins until you say yes, with control or view only.

Session timers

Links stay open for 1 to 24 hours, or until you end sharing.

App audio

Optionally share the app’s sound. Never your microphone.

Touch, trackpad, keyboard

Tap, scroll, pinch and type, or switch to a trackpad for precise clicks.

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.

Questions

Asked & answered.

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. Choose Internet to share over cellular or another network, or Local Wi‑Fi to keep it on yours.
