Fast

Fast enough to forget it's remote.

Elsewhere connects your devices to each other directly and uses the video hardware built into your computer, so nothing slows the picture down. Typing, scrolling, and dragging windows feel like sitting in front of the machine.

iPhone and iPad

Your computer, in your pocket.

Open the app, tap your computer, and you're there. Use your finger as a trackpad or tap directly on what you see. Modifier keys stay down until you lift them, so ⌘-Shift-4 and Ctrl-Alt-Delete work the way you expect.

  • Trackpad and Touch pointer modes
  • Sticky ⌘ ⌥ ⌃ ⇧, Escape, Tab, and arrow keys above the keyboard
  • Paste your iPhone clipboard into the computer
  • Picks the right display when there is more than one

Made for

Wherever you are, your computer is right there.

At the café, on the desktop at home

Your desktop has the files, the apps, and the horsepower. Your laptop has a browser. Connect and work on the real thing, at full speed.

On the couch, from your iPhone

Check on a render, kick off a download, close the thing you left open. Your computer is one tap away, and it feels like you're sitting at it.

Helping a parent

They read you an ID and a passcode, click Accept, and you fix it while they watch. Nothing to install on your side beyond the app you already have.

Away for a week

Your computer sleeps until you call. Wake it, sign in at the login screen, lock it when you leave. It's there whenever you need it.

Unattended access

Always reachable, even when nobody's home.

Turn on unattended access and your computer answers whenever you call, from the lock screen or from sleep. Nobody has to click Accept on the other end, because the other end is also you.

  • Wake from sleep, on Mac and Windows
  • Connect from the login window and sign in remotely
  • Every session is end-to-end encrypted between your own devices
  • See who is connected right now, next to the clock

Security

Your screen is yours. Not ours, not anyone's.

Three promises. See each one acted out on the Security page.

Only your devices can see it

Encrypted on one of your devices, decrypted on the other. Nothing in between can read it, including us.

Connected directly

Our servers introduce your devices, then step aside. Your screen never passes through anything we own.

Nothing in the middle to break into

Keys are made on your devices and never leave them. No open ports, no password on a server.

How it works

The small things

Everything you'd expect, and the parts you'd miss.

Every display

Pick the one you want, or see them all. Elsewhere matches the remote resolution to the screen in your hand.

Clipboard both ways

Copy on one device, paste on the other. Text, links, and images.

Shortcuts pass through

⌘-Tab, ⌘-Space, Ctrl-Alt-Delete. They go to the remote computer, not the one you're holding.

Wake from sleep

Your computer sleeps until you connect. No need to leave it awake and spinning.

Lock when you leave

The screen locks the moment you disconnect, so nobody walks past an open session.

Know who's connected

A dot next to the clock, and the menu shows who is on and for how long. Pause sharing in one click.

Quality on its own

Adapts to your network every second. Cap the frame rate or hide the wallpaper when the link is slow.

Trackpad or touch

On iPhone, drag a finger as a trackpad or tap straight on what you see. Switch whenever.

Every device

One account. Mac, Windows, iPhone, and iPad.

Install on the computers you want to reach and the devices you'll reach them from. One subscription covers all of them.

Setup

Set up in seconds.

Install, sign in, and connect to your devices. No port forwarding, nothing to host.

  1. Install on the computer you want to reach

    Sign in and turn on sharing. That is the only setup there is.

  2. Sign in on the device you're holding

    Your computers appear in the list the moment you sign in, with live status and latency.

  3. Connect

    Tap a computer. A direct, encrypted connection opens in about a second.

Questions

Before you download.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. 7 days, with every feature. We ask for a card so the plan can continue, and you can cancel any time before the first charge.

Can I reach my computer when it's asleep?

Yes. Turn on unattended access and Elsewhere wakes it when you connect, on Mac and Windows.

Do I need to open ports or change my router?

No. Your devices find each other through your account and connect directly. There is nothing to configure.

Can anyone see my screen, including you?

No. Sessions are encrypted on one of your devices and decrypted on the other. Our servers only introduce the two, then step aside.

What does one subscription cover?

Every computer you own, every device you connect from, and the Mac, Windows, iPhone, and iPad apps, for $20 a month.

How do I cancel?

From the app or from your account page. You keep access until the end of the month you paid for.
