Keychain and data protection
Passwords and private keys live in the device keychain; app data is protected by the iOS Data Protection classes.
Security & Privacy
Secure by default.
remoteNX connects you to servers that matter. So everything that could let data out is off – until you turn it on deliberately.
On the device
App lock with Face ID
If you want, remoteNX asks for Face ID when it opens – immediately or after a time you choose.
Privacy cover in the app switcher
In the app switcher remoteNX shows a cover instead of your session or server list.
Sessions end in the background
If the app stays in the background for more than 20 seconds, running sessions are ended cleanly.
When connecting
Pinned SSH host keys
On the first connection remoteNX remembers the host key and warns you clearly if it changes.
TLS 1.2+ for RDP
RDP connections use TLS 1.2 or newer; legacy RDP security is off.
Read-only drives
Drive redirection is off by default. When you turn it on you can make it read-only per connection; the session then cannot change or store anything there.
Safe .rdp imports
An import never turns on risky options: no drives, no microphone, no turning NLA off, no passwords and no bypassing certificate errors.
With your data
No tracking
No account, no advertising IDs, no tracking across apps. Optional statistics only with your consent.
Scrubbed crash reports
Only with consent. Host names, user names, IP addresses, paths and terminal content are removed on the device; our server in the EU also drops the sender's IP address.
Open-source components
remoteNX uses proven open-source building blocks. All licences are in the app under Settings → Acknowledgements.
Export compliance
remoteNX uses only standard encryption (such as TLS and SSH) and is declared accordingly with Apple.
