Desktop or laptop, smartphone or tablet, your computers are always available anywhere there’s an Internet connection with LogMeIn.
Want to make sure you stay productive? Now you’ll never forget important documents or files again, because LogMeIn makes it easy to access your computer from anywhere in the world.
LogMeIn Free is just as intuitive for beginners as it is for advanced users, connecting remotely to Windows or Mac computers from any web browser, to keep you productive and stress-free on the go.
Make the connection
Users first download and install the free LogMeIn client software on each computer they want to connect to. It doesn’t matter if you own a desktop, a laptop or both, and it works with all versions of Windows or Mac OS X.
From there, one simple website login is all it takes to connect from any public or private computer, and access your files, applications and media as if you were sitting in front of your remote computer.
Making the connection is easy and doesn’t require the user to tinker with router preferences, port forwarding or other messy network settings -- it all “just works.”
Best of all, LogMeIn can take advantage of whatever internet connection is available -- Wi-Fi or cellular, including 3G or fast new 4G LTE data speeds.
Secure and efficient
A recent study revealed that 34 percent of business people now travel by plane, train or automobile at least two to four times each year. With all those miles getting racked up, LogMeIn becomes the perfect travel companion, keeping busy users connected to their workplace or home office anytime, anywhere.
Data security is always a concern while traveling. Users can feel safe knowing that LogMeIn takes advantage of the same powerful 256-bit SSL encryption used by major online banks, protecting you from initial log in until it’s time to log off and call it a day.
LogMeIn Free also includes the ability to cut, copy and paste text between remote and local screens, map keyboards so you’ll be right at home on every computer you use and even supports multiple monitor setups.
Laptop optional
Travelers can also choose to entirely leave their laptop behind, using LogMeIn apps to stay connected with the same great remote access from a smartphone or tablet.
LogMeIn’s mobile apps from the App Store (free) or Google Play ($29.99) transform virtually any mobile device into a powerful, portable remote control center, without missing out on the convenient features found in the web-based version.
Remote access from these mobile devices doesn’t have to mean compromise: LogMeIn’s universal app for iPhone, iPod touch or iPad also connects with Bluetooth keyboards, making it the perfect solution for typing long-form documents without sacrificing tactile performance.
And that’s not all: LogMeIn also offers a variety of premium features power users are sure to love.
Go Pro
LogMeIn Pro takes the same great experience available in the basic version, but adds an additional layer of features squarely aimed at true road warriors.
File Manager makes it easy for users to transfer large files or even entire folders between remote computers, where they can be saved locally – perfect for making sure a forgotten presentation slide or other document doesn’t spoil your next big meeting.
Pro-enabled Windows and Mac computers also enjoy HD video and audio streaming over any internet connection, and remote files can even be printed locally with ease.
Available on Windows or Mac, available as annual, six-month or three-month in-app subscription upgrades for iOS, LogMeIn Pro takes remote control of your computer to a whole new level.
Ultimate access
Free or Pro, LogMeIn offers the easiest way to remotely access your computer from any device.
Access files, transfer photos on the go, or use any application on a remote computer from wherever you happen to be -- it’s all possible thanks to LogMeIn.
