Remoter
Remoter is a macOS remote access app for connecting to computers and servers with VNC, RDP, SSH, and Telnet from one desktop client.
What is Remoter?
Remoter is a native macOS remote access application that helps users connect to remote computers and servers from a Mac. It brings several connection methods together in one desktop client, including VNC for screen sharing, RDP for Windows Remote Desktop, and SSH or Telnet for terminal access. Common uses include reaching a work PC from home, managing servers, connecting to another Mac over VNC, and keeping saved connection profiles for regular systems. The app also supports features such as multiple simultaneous connections, Wake-on-LAN, network discovery, clipboard transfer for supported sessions, and SSH tunneling for some remote workflows. Remoter is published by Remoter Labs and is aimed at users who want one Mac app for both graphical remote desktop access and command-line administration.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Remoter is legitimate remote access software, so it may handle sensitive connection details such as hostnames, usernames, passwords, keys, and remote screen or terminal data. Network access and access to saved connection information are normal for this kind of app. Use it carefully on shared Macs, protect any saved credentials with your account security settings, and only connect to systems you trust.
Recommendation: Keep Remoter if you use it to reach other computers or servers from your Mac. If you no longer use remote desktop or terminal connections, you can remove it like other apps, but you may lose saved connection profiles and convenience features tied to your remote workflows.
