📱 VirtualProg for iOS
VirtualProg for iOS is a companion app for iPhone and iPad. It connects to VirtualProg running on your Mac and lets you monitor and control your virtual machines from anywhere on your network — start and stop VMs, watch and control the live screen, use the console and SSH, manage snapshots and templates, and more.
Note: The iOS app is a remote control. Your virtual machines keep running on your Mac; nothing runs on the iPhone or iPad.
✅ Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| iPhone / iPad | iOS 17 or later |
| Mac | VirtualProg with the CLI Server and External Access enabled |
| Network | Your device and Mac on the same network (local network only — there is no cloud relay) |
| Token | The master token, or a scoped token created in Access Tokens |
Set-up steps are in Connect. Some features need a newer Mac: checkpoints, linked clones and USB passthrough require a macOS 27+ Mac, and the latest VirtualProg is recommended for thumbnails, Disk Space and Logs.
🧭 Layouts
The app adapts to your device.
| Device | Layout |
|---|---|
| iPhone | One screen at a time. The ⋯ menu opens Library, Security and Tools. |
| iPad | Choose Single Column (default) or Sidebar — a sidebar of areas, the VM list and the VM details side by side. Change it in Settings. |
| iPhone Duo | Runs the iPhone layout on the large inner display. |

The large unfolded display gives the VM list and the live screen more room.
