macOS hosting for Parsec is here!
Today we’re excited to announce that macOS hosting is in GA! We’re grateful to our community for the support with rigorous testing and development — along with valuable customer feedback.
This is an important milestone for us because macOS has become synonymous with digital creativity. And Parsec is all about connecting creatives to their workstations from anywhere. Millions of video producers, musicians, animators, artists, architects, and engineers call Mac their platform of choice. We’re thrilled to see the impact Parsec for Teams can have, transforming the way people access their content, whether that’s for work or gaming.
The team behind Fruit Ninja at mobile gaming studio Halfbrick have been enjoying the access to their Mac workstations and the performance benefits of using Parsec to do it.
“We host our Mac build machines in the cloud so we can build and test our games from anywhere in the world. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that Parsec supports macOS hosting. We’re a global company — now our teams can access their Mac build machines from anywhere in the world with near zero latency and blistering fast quality.”
Liam Sorensen, Systems Administrator, Halfbrick
Using Parsec on Mac hosts expands accessibility to apps and experiences only available on Mac devices, such as fan favorites Final Cut Pro and iMovie — with near-zero latency. These apps require flawless playback, precise input, and accurate-as-heck images. Parsec enables creators to use high-powered editing suites from anywhere. No need to be stranded from your work when inspiration strikes and you’re away from your Mac Pro.
With Parsec for macOS, you can:
- Use your favorite hardware and application on macOS
- Maintain consistent workflows in a hybrid environment
- Collaborate with the freedom to work on your own terms — from anywhere.
“Our mission at Parsec is to help creatives access their workstations from anywhere, regardless of operating system or device — enabling macOS support is a giant step in that direction,” said Parsec co-founder Benjy Boxer. “Since we launched the early iteration of this release last year, our macOS customers have been able to work on their projects from their macOS-based machines with great success. We will continue to build on our capabilities to ensure our low-latency technology stays ahead of the latest computing demands.”
macOS customers, welcome to the smoothest remote desktop you’ve ever experienced. Try Parsec today and keep that feedback coming.
