Surface Remote for Companion Help

What does Multi-Instance add?

Quick answer

Multi-Instance is the one in-app purchase. It saves servers, lets you switch Companions from the Surface page, and shows two surfaces at once on iPad.

What you get

  • Saved servers — keep every Companion you use.
  • Switch on the Surface page — change Companion without leaving the buttons.
  • iPad: two surfaces at once — two Companions side by side.
  • One-time purchase. Not a subscription.

What stays free

  • Connecting.
  • Your last connection, remembered and used when the app opens.
  • Dashboard and Operator.

  • Or tap any lock icon — Save Server, the lock by the Companion’s name, or Second surface.
