Veency is the name of the latest application that has been released today by Saurik, the author and maintainer of Cydia. Veency provides a VNC remote desktop server for your iPhone, allowing you to view the iphone springboard and everything else on it via your Mac/PC with any VNC client.
The best thing about this app is that it handles text entry. This means you can upload notes and type directly onto the iPhone.
Another nice feature, is the text alert like the screenshot in the top of the post.
No password is needed when establishing a connection there is also no on/off toggle, but both things are planned for a future release.
Below a video of the author demonstrating veency.

I’m using it right now to type this Its pretty cool but a bit slow but cool…
Why it dosent work on my ipod touch??????
I tried with the screensharing utility on my mac…. but it didnt work…. :cry:
it keeps loading and loading and loading………….
For whatever reason, Apple’s screensharing client doesn’t support the server library I am using. Other VNC clients should work. Also, if you use 8-bit color, its much better speed-wise ;P.
umm i downloaded veency on my 3g and it doesnt show on spring board and where can i find the vnc server for this particular veency, i have tightVNC but i dont know how to set up the screen on my desktop on windoes
Veency is never on the springboard! Oh, and use chicken of the VNC

Nice App
Omg, I was just wishing for this.. i searched for it and sure enough – it was released.. TODAY?! I’m going to try this with win2vnc to use the iphone as an extended desktop. :mrgreen:
:oops: how do i get started (windows user)
have installed it but nothing happening
Haha it works gr8!! you can even use it as a surveillance cam, just open the cam and put the iphone with the dock as a stand and u’ll get like 1fps not bad!! ok to use it on windows u install the package from cydia and then just download a vnc client this is a free one that works gr8

and then in the software (on the pc) just enter the iphone’s ip and enter u’ll get a screen(on the iphone) asking if u accept the remote access request and just accept and there u are
iCarl – thanks for the info, the only problem is there are so many !! not sure which one to select and which is the free license. can you confirm thannks
great app…a bit slow but I can use now a screen recorder software on my PC to make demos :wink:
just go to the site and search for the “vnc viewer free edition”
how do you push the home button from vnc? any short cut buttons?
for the home button just press the right mouse button the left one is for touch and the middle one (if available) for the lock screen, and keyboard for keyboard!!
This is so awesome. I was looking for an app like this. What all can be done with this?
Jay – this thing is fantastic! I was wondering if you intended to open source it? Alternately, a method of accepting keyclicks from a Unix domain socket or fifo (something local to the phone) would work for what I want as well. Basically, I want to use Veency plus the iPhone serial port plus a little external microcontroller gizmo to build an external keyboard for the iPhone!
