I'm trying to remotely connect to my Raspberry Pi 5 from an M1 Mac laptop.

The officially recommended client is Tiger VNC Viewer, which connects fine, but can't rescale the display at all. This is a problem for a device that outputs 4K resolution viewing on a laptop screen.

  • Chicken of the VNC hasn't been updated for years and doesn't work on M1 macs.
  • Remote Ripple doesn't connect to the Pi - gives an error
  • MacOS's built-in Screen Sharing app won't connect - says "unable to communicate"
  • Screens for mac (demo version) failed to connect.
  • RealVNC Viewer works, and scales, but is incredibly slow.

I'd prefer free, but willing to pay if necessary. What's my best option?

Check out Raspberry Pi Connect, it's new and works from your browser.

It’s often extremely useful to be able to access your Raspberry Pi’s desktop remotely. There are a number of technologies which can be used to do this, including VNC, and of course the X protocol itself. But they can be hard to configure, particularly when you are attempting to access a machine on a different local network; and of course with the transition to Wayland in Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, classic X remote desktop support is no longer available.

We wanted to be able to provide you with this functionality with our usual “it just works” approach. Enter Raspberry Pi Connect.
