π· 1. What Is Remote Viewer?
Remote Viewer is a secure, cross-platform remote access and support system designed for IT teams, MSPs, helpdesks, enterprises, and service providers who need real-time visibility and control across all major operating systems.
Unlike traditional remote support tools that focus on one platform, Remote Viewer has been built from the ground up to operate natively across:
-
Windows
-
macOS
-
Linux
-
iOS (Broadcast Extension)
-
Android (MediaProjection + Accessibility)
-
Web Browsers (Technician Console)
All devices communicate through a centralised, lightweight Broker Middleware which manages sessions, routing, authentication, and device presence.
Remote Viewer offers a unified experience across all platforms β the same technician tools, same workflow, and same command set β regardless of the OS being controlled.
