VNC® Viewer for Android
Your computer, when you need it
VNC Viewer for Android connects your Android device to a computer running VNC-compatible Server technology anywhere in the world, and lets you take control. You can view the computer's desktop, run applications, change settings, access data, and emulate the keyboard and mouse exactly as you could do were you sitting in front of that computer.
RealVNC recommends VNC for the computer you want to control. Connections from VNC Viewer for Android to VNC-enabled computers are robust and responsive and, depending how VNC is licensed, can also be highly secure and benefit from features such as international keyboard support and text transfer.
