aSPICE: Secure SPICE Client

Discover the power of aSPICE, a secure, open-source SPICE and SSH Remote Desktop solution designed for QEMU KVM virtual machines. Whether you're on iOS or Mac OS X, you can now access aSPICE Pro through the Apple App Store at this link. By purchasing the donation version, aSPICE Pro, you're supporting my ongoing work and the GPL open-source community. If you encounter any issues, please use the "Send email" feature on Google Play to report them before leaving a review.

Stay updated with the latest developments by checking the release notes at GitHub. You can also explore older versions and report bugs directly on the releases and issues pages, respectively. For any questions, consider joining the discussion on our forum instead of posting in a review.

Don't miss out on bVNC, my versatile VNC Viewer, available on Google Play. If you're experiencing issues with mouse pointer synchronization, try switching to "Simulated Touchpad" input mode or enhance your setup by adding an "EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet" to your virtual machine. To do this, if you're using virt-manager, navigate to View->Details, then Add Hardware->Input->EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet. For command-line users, include the option "-device usb-tablet,id=input0" when running your virtual machine.
