Application Description

For those seeking a secure, open-source remote desktop solution for QEMU KVM virtual machines, aSPICE offers an exceptional SPICE and SSH-enabled experience. Whether you're using iOS or macOS, you can now access aSPICE Pro, available for download at Apple's App Store. Support the ongoing development of this GPL open-source software by purchasing the donation version, aSPICE Pro. If you encounter any issues, kindly use the "Send email" feature on Google Play to report them directly, rather than leaving a review.

Stay up-to-date with the latest enhancements by checking the release notes. For those interested in older versions or looking to report bugs, visit the releases page and the bug reporting section on GitHub. If you have questions, the forum is an excellent resource for community support.

Don't miss out on bVNC, another powerful tool from the same developer, available on Google Play. If you experience issues with mouse pointer synchronization, consider switching to "Simulated Touchpad" mode or enhancing your setup with an "EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet." To add the tablet, follow these steps:

  • If using virt-manager, navigate to View->Details, and select Add Hardware->Input->EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet.
  • For command-line users, include an option like "-device usb-tablet,id=input0" when starting your virtual machine.

aSPICE stands out as a secure, SSH-capable, open-source SPICE client leveraging the LGPL-licensed native libspice library. Its key features include:

  • Compatibility with any SPICE-enabled QEMU virtual machine, regardless of the guest OS.
  • Master password support, multi-factor authentication (MFA/2FA) for SSH, and USB redirection, all available in aSPICE Pro.
  • Audio and sound support, configurable in the Advanced Settings.
  • Intuitive multi-touch controls for remote mouse operations, including one-finger tap for left-click, two-finger tap for right-click, and three-finger tap for middle-click.
  • Enhanced user interaction with right and middle-dragging, scrolling via two-finger drag, and pinch-zooming.
  • Dynamic resolution adjustments for seamless desktop reconfiguration and control from BIOS to OS.
  • Full rotation support, multi-language capabilities, and comprehensive mouse support on Android 4.0+.
  • SSH tunneling for enhanced security and access to machines behind firewalls.
  • Optimized UI for various screen sizes, Samsung multi-window support, and SSH public/private key support.
  • Automatic session saving, multiple scaling modes, and diverse input modes including Direct, Simulated Touchpad, and Single-handed.
  • On-screen control keys, D-pad functionality, and support for FlexT9 and hardware keyboards.
  • Helpful on-device guides for setting up connections and understanding input modes.
  • Integration with Hackerskeyboard for an enhanced typing experience.
  • Import/export settings functionality, and specialized features like Samsung DEX, Alt-Tab, Start Button, and Ctrl+Space capture.

Looking ahead, aSPICE plans to introduce clipboard integration for seamless copy/pasting between your device and the virtual machine.
