RV Server
RV Server is a free utility from BeLight Software that lets you browse and view files stored on your Mac remotely from an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch using Quick Look technology. It presents your desktop, files, folders and media through a companion iOS app, allowing you to access documents, pictures, videos and music from your Mac while away from your desk. The app is designed for users who want to keep their Mac's contents accessible on mobile devices without complex setup.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionRV Server has not been updated since the early-to-mid 2010s — the latest version available is 1.0.1 and there is no evidence of ongoing development from BeLight Software. There is no native Apple Silicon build, so the app relies on Rosetta 2 emulation to run on M-series Macs today. When Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), this app will stop launching entirely. If you rely on remote file access from iOS devices, consider modern alternatives like Apple's Files app (which supports iCloud Drive and third-party cloud providers), Nextcloud (free and open-source, with both Mac server and iOS client), Synology or QNAP NAS apps paired with mobile access, or commercial options like Dropbox or OneDrive — all of which run natively on Apple Silicon and are actively maintained.
