MobiVNC

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 9, 2026

The short version: MobiVNC connects straight from your iPhone or iPad to the computers you choose, and nothing passes through our servers. What you save in the app stays on your device, with passwords in your Keychain. We do not collect anything.

1. What We Collect

Nothing. MobiVNC has no account, no analytics, no ads, no tracking and no servers of ours. It contains no third-party analytics or advertising software. On the App Store, its privacy label is Data Not Collected.

2. What Stays on Your Device

  • Your computers. The name, address and options of each computer you add, including an SSH tunnel’s server and user name, and the fingerprints the app checks a server against, are kept in the app’s own storage on the device.
  • Your keyboards and settings. Custom keys, shortcuts and typed text you add to a keyboard, and the app’s settings, are kept the same way.
  • Paused sessions. When the app goes to the background with sessions open, it keeps a small picture of each session’s last frame so it can show them again. These pictures stay on the device, are left out of backups, and are deleted after a week or when you delete the computer.
  • Like any app’s data, the computers, keyboards and settings are included in your device’s backups if you make them. We never see them.

3. Passwords

  • Kept in the Keychain. A password you choose to save is stored in the iOS Keychain, never in the app’s files. So is the SSH key MobiVNC can make for SSH tunnels; it is made on the device, and only its public half is ever shown or copied.
  • Face ID, if you want it. With Face ID to Connect on, the app asks for Face ID before it uses a saved password. Face ID is handled by iOS; the app only learns whether it succeeded.
  • iCloud Keychain, if you turn it on. Saved passwords and the SSH key stay on this device unless you turn on Sync with iCloud Keychain in Settings › Saved Passwords. Then Apple’s iCloud Keychain syncs them to your other devices, end-to-end encrypted, under Apple’s Privacy Policy.
  • The Credentials key types a password you pick from your password manager into your computer. MobiVNC does not keep it.

4. What Leaves Your Device

  • Only to the computers you connect to. When you connect, MobiVNC talks directly to that computer — or, with an SSH tunnel, to the SSH server you set up, which passes the connection on. It sends your sign-in, your touches, clicks and keystrokes, and, if you allow it for that computer, text you paste; it receives the screen, sound and copied text. None of this goes to us or to anyone else.
  • Your clipboard. MobiVNC reads this device’s clipboard only when you paste into a session. Text copied on the computer is put on this device’s clipboard. You can limit this, or turn it off, per computer.
  • Finding computers nearby. To list the computers on your network, the app looks for Screen Sharing and VNC servers with Bonjour, on your local network only. iOS asks for your permission to use the local network the first time; MobiVNC needs it to reach computers on your network at all.

5. The Diagnostics Log

MobiVNC writes a diagnostics log to a file on your device, to help us fix connection problems you report. It records what the app did — connection steps, errors, timings — including the names and addresses of the computers you connect to. It never records passwords, user names, what you type, or what you copy and paste.

The log never leaves your device by itself. It can only be sent with the share sheet on a hidden screen in Settings, which you would open only if we asked you to; you then choose where it goes.

6. Purchases

  • The free trial and MobiVNC Full Unlock are Apple in-app purchases. Apple handles the payment; we never see your card details, billing address or Apple Account. The app asks Apple’s StoreKit which of them you own, to decide whether connecting is unlocked.
  • Apple gives us aggregated download and sales figures, which do not identify you. See Apple’s Privacy Policy.

7. Children

MobiVNC is a remote-desktop utility and is not directed at children.

Changes to This Policy

If MobiVNC starts handling information differently, this page changes first and the effective date above moves with it. The app has no way to tell you, because we do not have your email address, so check back here from time to time.
