[GNC] Access GNUCash From Different Devices

[D.]

Left unsaid in this reply is the fact that GnuCash does not, I believe, run at all under IOS (or Android, for that matter). So a screen sharing solution is likely to be your only option.

Though this isn't ideal, you could leave GnuCash running on your iMac 
and access the iMac from the iPad via ScreenSharing.

I've done this using VNC Viewer with little setup config. The 'not 
ideal' part is that you have to leave it running (not a problem for me 
as I rarely close it anyway) and you don't get a normal iPad touch 
screen interface, but rather a way to move the mouse cursor remotely. 
(you do get a keyboard though for input) VNC Viewer has the ability to 
act like a pointing device, but that doesn't work well if at all when 
trying to remote view a desktop screen. (that is, your finger moves the 
mouse pointer rather than being the mouse pointer like a normal iPad app)

I have yet to do this remotely. I have a static IP, but I suspect you'd 
want to do some serious router lock down of forwarded ports if you want 
to access your desktop remotely.

Regards,
Adrien
