How you can use ProRDP depends on whether you’re using it for yourself or for a business.

Home and personal use

ProRDP is free for home and personal use. You don’t need a license key or an account, and no features are held back. Download it, install it on your Mac, and connect from any Remote Desktop client.

System Requirements

ProRDP runs on the Mac you want to connect to, and you connect to it from a standard Remote Desktop client. Nothing needs to be installed on the client.

The Mac

Requirement	Details
macOS	macOS 15 Sequoia or later.
Processor	Apple silicon or Intel. ProRDP is a universal app, so one download runs natively on both.
Permissions	Screen Recording and Accessibility, granted in System Settings › Privacy & Security. ProRDP asks for both and links to the right pane. See General › Permissions.
Account	A user logged in to the Mac, running ProRDP.

ProRDP encodes the screen as H.264 using the Mac’s hardware video encoder. Higher resolutions, higher frame rates and more monitors need more encoding work. For example, on an M4 Mac mini, three 1080p monitors fit comfortably at 30 fps, but two 4K monitors don’t, so the session lowers its frame rate. See Experience › Enable multi-monitor support.
