因為工作關係,常常要用到遠端桌面軟體,因此花了一些時間測試 5 款免費遠端桌面軟體,包括 Teamviewer、DeskIn、Anydesk、Awesun 和 Parsec,這裡就分享實測下來幾款在遠端工作、遠端遊戲、遠端觀看影片上的表現,提供給在尋找好用的遠端軟體、或有遠端作業需求的人參考。作者大多數用手機遠端 PC,以及 MacBook 遠端 PC,所以下面的測試比較,都是這種使用環境為主。


免費遠端桌面軟體規格比較表

注: 這裡說的四大平台是 Windows、Mac、iOS 和 Android。


遠端工作:DeskIn優勝Awesun

這 5 款遠端桌面軟體,免費版只有 DeskIn 和 Awesun 可以商用,Teamviewer,Anydesk 和 Parsec 都必須升級付費版才可以,因此在遠端工作情境中,我主要比較 DeskIn 和 Awesun 這二個。

基本操作比較:DeskIn更加直覺順手

DeskIn 和 Awesun 電腦版的操作介面都比較簡潔,一些我會用到的功能都能很快找到,如:文字對話、快速切換雙螢幕畫面。但整體連缐速度和穩定性DeskIn會更高,Awesun相對卡頓感會更强。

操作上,Awesun 的滾輪滑動距離很短,不像 DeskIn 滑動很順,在瀏覽頁面和網頁時感受很明顯。

DeskIn桌面端

DeskIn 手機版可說是我用過最順手的一款,我非常喜歡它的觸控 + 滑鼠混合模式,可以隨時依不同需求快速切換,搭配一些手勢,瀏覽網頁,切換視窗都很方便:


畫面反應速度也極快,就算是用手機,也能很順暢的完成遠端工作。也提供一些不錯的功能,像是跟遠端設備發訊息、語音通話,內建可快速切換視窗的「任務視圖」,這個我覺得非常好用,手機也能很容易切換其他要用的視窗:


Awesun 手機版也有觸控 + 滑鼠混合,另外我還蠻喜歡一點是,功能選單只有單層設計,對手機很友善,可很快找到要使用的功能。但相較於 DeskIn,Awesun 提供的實用功能比較少,尤其是沒有任務視圖快捷鍵,切換視窗就變得困難很多。也沒有跟遠端裝置溝通的功能比如語音通話,必須用其他 App,對於遠端協作來説比較不方便。


檔案傳輸比較:DeskIn無速度、檔案大小限制

DeskIn 手機版的傳輸檔案功能是付費會員專屬,這點比較可惜,但電腦版免費用戶就能用。傳輸速度還蠻快的,可以拖拽傳檔,同個網路,透過 Wi-Fi 傳輸 5GB 檔案大約僅花 3 分多鐘。Awesun 電腦版、手機版都能免費使用傳輸檔案功能,不過有檔案大小限制,超過 1GB 的檔案就不行,所以使用上有侷限。


遠端輸入比較:DeskIn快捷按鍵超順手

打字部分,電腦版都差不多,所以就不比較,只分享手機遠端電腦的體驗。

DeskIn 和 Awesun 手機版鍵盤都大約只佔畫面一半,所以用手機遠端打字起來都還蠻舒服的。

DeskIn 有一個很大的優點,它可以把常用快捷鍵固定懸浮在鍵盤上方或是遠端畫面,像是複製貼上,打字時,我可以很容易複製想要的內容,然後貼在需要的位置,也可以自訂快捷按鍵:

Awesun 就不一樣,它是隱藏在快捷鍵選單裡面,當我選取要複製的內容,還要切換到快捷鍵選單,然後按複製,再切回鍵盤,貼上也一樣,操作相當麻煩

另外,按好快捷鍵後,返回鍵盤是按「默認」,不是「X」 ,但這取名很怪,剛開始我很長按錯,有時候真的會抓狂。


另外三款的操作介面,這邊也簡短分享一下:

Teamviewer:功能齊全但傳檔龜速,手機端操作不順手

  • 連缐較慢:不知道是不是免費版原因,我用下來電腦版和手機版按連線之後都會慢半拍,特別是手機,一開始我還以為是沒點到,結果最後點太多下,顯示重複連線的錯誤。

  • 功能齊全:電腦版功能蠻齊全的,該有的都有,還有提供「留下訊息功能」,遠端階段結束後,訊息會保留下來,如果是幫別人修電腦、傳檔案之類,就能用這功能留下要告訴對方的內容:

  • 傳檔較慢:Teamviewer 電腦版和手機版都能使用傳輸檔案功能。不過,免費版傳檔速度有點驚訝的慢,5GB 竟然要花費 30 幾分鐘才完成。

  • 行動端操作不順手:手機版的滑鼠功能不支援觸控和鼠標共用,需要進到選單切換,操作上不是很方便。複製和貼上的快捷鍵也沒有跟鍵盤整合,而是在另一個選單裡,打字時不太容易複製或貼上內容:

  • 誤判商用:另一個有點煩人的點是,免費版每次用完都會提醒不能用於商業用途,而且是二台設備都會跳出,沒辦法永久關掉


Anydesk:傳檔高速,中文輸入異常

Anydesk電腦版無需安裝登入即可使用,比較方便,但軟體的界面比較古早。很不錯的是檔案傳輸速度非常快,跟 DeskIn 有得拼,但連缐畫面就沒有很順暢,清晰度也不是很夠,特別是滑動頁面,可以明顯感受到慢個 1~2 秒,即便我設定「最佳化反應時間」也一樣。

手機版的功能表隱藏在右側,往左滑才會叫出,我還蠻喜歡這設計,遠端桌面的畫面更不受干擾,但 iPhone 和 Android 遠端 PC 都有一些輸入問題:

iPhone 的中文輸入法支援性不太好,我的 PC 是第三方的輸入法,遠端時沒辦法正常打字,只會出現注音符號,PC 必須切換到 Windows 內建輸入法才能正常打字;

Android 雖然可以正常輸入,但沒辦法操作刪除動作,必須關掉然後重新打開鍵盤才可以。另外切換中文、英文鍵盤時,有時候手機的鍵盤也會突然消失。


Parsec:適合遊戲,基本無辦公功能

Parsec 是唯一一款不支援中文的遠端桌面軟體,不過設置還蠻簡單,安裝好並登入帳號,就能開始遠端連線。

電腦版幾乎沒有什麼功能,連傳輸檔案都不行,只能調整畫面和傳輸設定。手機版僅支援 Android,所以 iPhone 沒辦法用,不過也沒差,因為這款的手機版非常陽春,就只能操控跟打字,畫面還無法放大、不能輸入中文,很不好用:

Parsec 比較適合用在遊戲用途,工作或一般使用完全不推薦。


遠端遊戲情境比較

遊戲部分我測試「用 MacBook 遠端玩 PC 上的暗黑破壞神四」,來試試每一款的連線品質和延遲狀況。這也是我偶爾會用到的狀況,有時候帶 MacBook Pro 出門工作,休息時會想玩遊戲,而家裡的 PC 如果開著,就能用遠端軟體輕鬆實現。

Teamviewer

首先我測試 Teamviewer,雖然玩是沒問題,但明顯就是感覺到不順,有時候移動會慢半拍、甚至畫面頓了一下,玩起來體驗沒有那麼好,不太推薦。我也有測試過品質設定在「速度優先」,狀況一樣沒有改善。

DeskIn

再來是 DeskIn,就讓我相當滿意,畫面清晰度高,遊玩 30 分鐘都很順,另外可以看到即時的幀率和延遲度,很不錯。它還有提供 4K 60fps、144fps 的選項,對遊戲應該會更加分,不過僅付費版:

Anydesk

Anydesk 的畫質可說是 5 款當中最好,玩起來也順,但我有發現一個比較麻煩的問題,玩的過程中,我遠端電腦 CPU 佔用率飆升到 70%~80%,導致電腦風扇快速運轉,聲音很大,讓人有點擔心玩久電腦會不會出狀況,不是很放心:

Awesun

Awesun 唯獨切換遊戲場景會稍微頓一下(如:回城),其他都還蠻順的。但這款的 Mac 版好像穩定性有問題,我遠端過一次後,下次再次打開就會當掉,需要重灌軟體才會修復,也沒有聲音:

Parsec

Parsec 遠端遊戲果然很不錯,玩暗黑四順暢度一流,而且有提供頻寬設定,可以根據當前狀況,調整使用的頻寬,進而讓畫面變得更順、延遲度更低。也可以創建房間進行多人遊戲,如果你只有遠端遊戲的需求,可以盲選這款。

遠端觀看影片比較

用手機遠端連回電腦看影片,可以很快速的測出每一款遠端軟體的延遲表現。

我測試多部影片,從 YouTube、Netflix、到電腦裡的影片都有,播放都很順暢的有三款:Teamviewer、DeskIn 以及 Parsec,不過 Teamviewer 和 Parsec 有一些問題。

Teamviewer 雖然速度很順暢,但遠端後聲音很小,就算我把手機聲音調到最大也一樣,而且沒辦法設定靜音,意味著如果電腦有聲音正在播放,那手機就會發出聲音。

Parsec 的速度和聲音品質都相當不錯,但因為手機版沒辦法縮放畫面,因此只能全螢幕播放。

DeskIn 就沒有以上這些問題,各方面都讓人滿意。

至於 Anydesk,畫面是很順,不過目前手機版的傳輸音效是壞的,iOS 和 Android 都是,我有確認過功能開啟,手機也調到最大聲且關閉靜音,還是沒有聲音。

Awesun 就蠻差的,聲音會斷斷續續,而且無法跟畫面同步,由此可見連線品質不是很好。

如何選擇遠端桌面軟體

在選擇遠端桌面軟體時,「功能」和「連線品質」可說是最重要,功能一定要能滿足你的使用需求,像是能不能傳輸檔案、跟遠端設備通訊、鍵盤打字順不順手。不同的軟體也會有一些不同的附加功能提高軟體可用性,像DeskIn就可以進行螢幕擴充和語音通話。

另外連線品質如果延遲太高,會大幅影響你的遠端操作效率,所以一定要延遲低的遠端軟體。

還有支援多平台,最好 iOS、Android、Windows、PC 都有,這樣未來無論換什麼平台,都能繼續進行遠端作業。

總結

我原本以為最有名的 Teamviewer,使用體驗上應該會最好,沒想到測試之後發現還蠻多缺點的,由此可見,真的要用過才知道哪一款最適合自己。

整體表現最讓我滿意的是 DeskIn,如果你正在找遠端桌面軟體,很推薦試試這款。

Even better, with the right tools, you can mirror iPhone to iPad without WiFi in situations where connectivity is limited.

In this comprehensive guide, I'll walk you through multiple methods to mirror your iPhone screen to your iPad, including both native Apple solutions and powerful third-party options like DeskIn that offer enhanced functionality and flexibility.

Native Methods: How to Mirror iPhone to iPad Using Apple's Built-in Features

Apple has designed its ecosystem to work seamlessly together, providing several built-in ways to mirror your iPhone to iPad. These methods require minimal setup and use features already available on your devices.

Using AirPlay to Screen Mirror iPhone to iPad

AirPlay is Apple's wireless streaming protocol that lets you mirror your iPhone's entire screen to compatible devices, including your iPad.

Requirements:

  • Both devices running iOS 14 or later (optimal performance on iOS 16+)

  • Both devices connected to the same WiFi network

  • Both devices signed in to the same Apple ID (for some features)

👉 Step-by-step instructions:

  1. Ensure compatibility:

    • Update both your iPhone and iPad to the latest iOS version

    • Connect both devices to the same WiFi network

  2. Enable screen mirroring:

    • On your iPhone, swipe down from the top-right corner to open Control Center

    • Tap the "Screen Mirroring" button

    • Select your iPad from the list of available devices

    • If prompted, enter the AirPlay code that appears on your iPad

  3. Adjust display settings:

    • Your iPhone screen should now appear on your iPad

    • Use the pinch gesture on your iPad to adjust the display size

    • Rotate your iPad to change the orientation if needed

  4. End the mirroring session:

    • Open Control Center on your iPhone

    • Tap "Screen Mirroring"

    • Select "Stop Mirroring"

While AirPlay works well in many situations, it does have limitations—namely, both devices must be on the same WiFi network, and some content may be restricted due to DRM protections.

Using Sidecar as an Alternative Approach

While Sidecar is primarily designed to extend your Mac display to your iPad, it can be part of a workflow that ultimately lets you view iPhone content on your iPad.

Requirements:

  • A Mac running macOS Catalina or later

  • iPad compatible with Sidecar (most models from 2016 onwards)

  • iPhone running iOS 14 or later

👉 Process overview:

  1. Connect iPad to Mac using Sidecar:

    • On your Mac, click the AirPlay icon in the menu bar

    • Select your iPad from the list

    • Your iPad now functions as an extended display

  2. Mirror iPhone to Mac:

    • Connect your iPhone to your Mac using a Lightning cable

    • Open QuickTime Player on your Mac

    • Select "File" > "New Movie Recording"

    • Click the dropdown arrow next to the record button

    • Select your iPhone as the camera source

    • Your iPhone screen now displays in QuickTime

  3. Move the QuickTime window to your iPad screen:

    • Drag the QuickTime window showing your iPhone to the iPad portion of your extended desktop

    • Maximize the window on your iPad

This method has more steps but can be useful in professional settings where you need to record or annotate what's happening on your iPhone.

Third-Party Solutions: How to Mirror iPhone to iPad With Easy Way

While Apple's native methods work well in many situations, they have limitations. Third-party apps offer additional flexibility, including the ability to mirror iPhone to iPad without cable perfect for travel, areas with poor connectivity, or situations where joining a new network isn't possible.
