- 📦GlanceVNC updated to version 1.7• A redesigned home screen opens to Saved Connections. On iPhone, a native tab bar switches between Saved, Nearby and Settings in portrait or landscape; on iPad, use the sidebar. Add a connection from the Saved Connections toolbar.
• Connection cards show a desktop thumbnail when available, or a translucent placeholder with the connection name or address. Turn off Show Connection Thumbnails in Settings to always use placeholders.
• Connect to a nearby VNC desktop directly after entering its details, without saving it first. You can still save it for later.
• Saved Connections, Nearby Connections and Settings share the same backdrop and translucent panel style. Connection progress and failure panels now match. The default blue background stays consistent throughout the day, and a chosen photo stays at its original brightness, including behind the sidebar.
• Settings has simpler background controls without a preview panel, plus clear rows for connection thumbnails and app information. Display and input choices remain with each connection.
• Add and Edit Connection have shorter forms and improved certificate security handling, with extra Security descriptions removed. The Operating System choice defaults to Mac and sets remote Command shortcuts; Windows and Linux use Control. The VNC sharing option and separate keyboard shortcut pickers are removed from the form and session popup.
• Apple Pencil provides direct click and drag input on iPad, plus cursor hover on supported hardware. Finger gestures resume when the Pencil lifts.
• Clipboard confirmations, empty-paste notices, and transfer errors now clear after five seconds.
• Encrypted VNC sessions are now available with compatible VeNCrypt servers. Require certificate security and verify the server using system trust, an imported certificate or a SHA-256 fingerprint. RDP continues to use TLS and also supports strict certificate verification.… more - 🆕GlanceVNC first spotted by AppInsider#43 in Top Paid · All Apps · India
- 📦GlanceVNC version 1.5• Hardware keyboards work immediately on connection, and the on-screen keyboard button hides while one is attached.
• The zoomed desktop follows the trackpad pointer to keep it in view.
• Connections request a landscape desktop size matching the session area where supported by the remote server.
• Fill screen fills the session area without stretching, cropping the edges when necessary. Choose “Fit whole desktop” in Display settings to see the entire desktop.
• Mac Screen Sharing retains the Mac’s display resolution. Fill screen crops the view; matching the iPad’s shape without cropping requires a matching resolution or suitable virtual display on the Mac.… more - 🆕GlanceVNC released on the App Store

About GlanceVNC
Connect to your computers from your iPhone or iPad with GlanceVNC, a remote desktop app for RDP, VNC and compatible Mac Screen Sharing servers.
CONTROL YOUR WAY
Tap directly in Touch mode or move the pointer in Trackpad mode. Pinch to zoom in either mode. Trackpad mode follows the pointer across the enlarged desktop; Touch mode lets you tap the area you zoomed into. Switch modes without losing your zoom, use two fingers to scroll, and hold to drag. Simple built-in help explains each gesture.
YOUR COMPUTERS AT A GLANCE
Save your connections for quick access, discover compatible VNC computers on your local network, and recognise recent sessions with desktop previews saved on your device. Personalise your home screen with a custom background. Review RDP server certificates in the app when approval is needed; a changed certificate requires a new review.
MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD
A compact iPhone layout and spacious iPad cards keep your connections easy to reach. Use the on-screen keyboard or a hardware keyboard and compatible pointing device. On iPad, Apple Pencil supports precise clicks and drags, plus hover on supported models. Choose 16-bit or 24-bit colour for your next VNC connection. Enjoy clear panels on iOS 18 and Liquid Glass on iOS 26 and later, with layouts that adapt to landscape and larger text.
EXCHANGE CLIPBOARD TEXT
Copy plain text from a compatible VNC, Mac Screen Sharing or RDP desktop to your device, or send device text to the remote clipboard. Open the expanded session toolbar to use Copy from remote or Paste to remote, then use the remote app’s Paste command to insert text.
ENCRYPTED CONNECTIONS
RDP connections use TLS. With a compatible VeNCrypt VNC server, enable certificate-verified TLS in a connection’s Security settings. Choose system trust, an imported certificate or a SHA-256 fingerprint. Standard Mac Screen Sharing does not support this strict VNC option.
KEEP YOUR CONNECTIONS WITH YOU
Saved connection details sync through iCloud. Saved passwords use Apple Keychain and can sync through iCloud Keychain when available. Desktop previews and custom backgrounds stay on your device.
GlanceVNC requires a computer with a compatible RDP or VNC server, or Mac Screen Sharing enabled and a network connection that can reach it. Remote access outside your local network requires your own network setup. Requires iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 or later, including iOS and iPadOS 26.
