Remote Display 1.0.0
First public release of Remote Display: a self-hosted remote desktop for macOS hosts, built on the RustDesk engine, that gives you monitors that fit your window.
Highlights
- Virtual monitors on the Mac, created from the client. Add a virtual monitor sized to your window, resize it live by resizing the window, and remove it when you are done. Physical monitors can be switched off (mirrored) while you work remotely.
- Dynamic main display. "Fit to screen" on the physical display turns it into a virtual main display that follows your window; the physical monitor mirrors it.
- Per-monitor scale: 100 / 125 / 150 / 200 %, with real Retina (HiDPI) backing when the display allows it.
- One window per monitor. Open any monitor in its own window; the client remembers your monitor layout per host.
- Serverless and LAN-only by design. No accounts, no cloud, no relay: the client finds hosts on the local network (and over Tailscale) and connects directly.
- Clients for Windows, macOS, iPad/iOS and Android; host for macOS (menu-bar app with a setup checklist for Screen Recording and Accessibility).
Fixes in this release
- A physical display mirroring a virtual one no longer loses its mode when the virtual display is resized (this froze the physical panel and put a second cursor into the video).
- The capture recovers automatically when macOS reconfigures displays or stops the capture stream.
- Deep links use the
remotedisplay://scheme on every platform (also registered by the Windows installer).
