About:
Remote Viewer is a macOS client for the SPICE protocol, enabling high-performance connections to virtual machines. It provides seamless access to remote desktops with support for audio, USB redirection, and dynamic display resizing. This tool is essential for managing VMs hosted on KVM or other hypervisors that utilize SPICE.
Key Features:
  • SPICE protocol support for low-latency remote access
  • Dynamic display resizing and multi-monitor support
  • Integrated audio and USB device redirection
  • Secure connection tunneling
Use Cases:
  • Managing Linux-based virtual machines from a macOS host
  • Remote system administration of headless hypervisors
  • Accessing graphical desktop environments on virtual servers
Alternatives:
  • Microsoft Remote Desktop – Best for RDP, but lacks native SPICE optimization
  • VNC Clients – Universal but generally slower and less feature-rich for VMs
