JollysFastVNC

JollysFastVNC is a macOS client for Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) and VNC protocols that prioritizes speed, reliability, and security when controlling remote computers. It supports connections to other Macs, Windows machines running VNC servers such as UltraVNC, and Linux systems with built‑in VNC, while offering built‑in SSH tunneling, SSL, and SOCKS for encrypted sessions. Users can manage multiple connections, work in full‑screen or multi‑monitor modes, and benefit from features like SmartZoom, automatic pasteboard synchronization, and remote cursor handling.

The application includes macOS‑specific conveniences such as login integration, keyboard and pasteboard support, remote screen lock, and monitor selection, as well as Windows domain login support. Network utilities like reverse connections with NAT‑PMP/UPnP port opening, Wake‑on‑LAN, and Bonjour discovery (including auto‑connect) simplify setup across varied environments. It also handles a wide range of VNC encodings and provides URL schemes for launching sessions from other apps.

Designed for users who need responsive remote desktop access on macOS, JollysFastVNC targets professionals and power users who require fast screen updates, secure tunneling, and advanced configuration options while managing multiple hosts or heterogeneous platforms.
