Remote Ripple
Remote Ripple is a VNC (Virtual Network Computing) remote desktop client developed by GlavSoft LLC, the creators of TightVNC. It allows users to view and control remote computers, servers, and virtual machines across Mac, Windows, Linux and Unix systems over Wi-Fi or mobile networks. The app offers a streamlined interface optimised for slow connections, desktop scaling, low bandwidth modes, and responsive mouse emulation. Common uses include accessing resource-intensive software on remote machines, providing technical support, server administration, and monitoring remote desktops in read-only mode.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionRemote Ripple for macOS appears to have not received active maintenance or updates in recent years. The search results show no evidence of a native Apple Silicon build, and the latest publicly documented version (3.5.1, released August 2025) does not clarify macOS architecture support or indicate continued development for the Mac platform. The bundle ID and minimal recent activity suggest this is a legacy product. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027), an Intel-only build will stop launching entirely on that release. If you rely on Remote Ripple today, contact GlavSoft directly to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon version is planned. As a precaution, consider tested alternatives with confirmed native Apple Silicon support: TightVNC (which ships native builds for macOS), UltraVNC, or RealVNC all offer comparable remote desktop functionality and are actively maintained on the Mac platform. You should also evaluate whether macOS's built-in Screen Sharing (VNC support via System Preferences > Sharing > Remote Management) meets your needs, as it requires no third-party software and is natively supported on all modern Macs.
