Screens

What is Screens?

Control any computer on your iPhone or iPad from anywhere in the world.

Strong Security

Use a secure, encrypted connection (SSH encapsulation) to connect to your computer.

Access multiple computers

Screens can connect to Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and Windows computers.

Powerful Gestures

The screens support various familiar gestures that you've been using for years, and you can choose between Touch or Trackpad modes.

Work on the spreadsheet you left at home, make software updates on your server on another continent, or help your parent set up his computer miles away in his hometown.

Support for multiple monitors

For Macs with multiple connected monitors, Screens lets you select an individual, or you can show them all at once. In addition, it may recall your last selection for future sessions.

Groups

Organize your saved screens as groups to keep everything in order.

Curtain Mode

Curtain mode obscures the display on remote Macs that you connect to. Useful if you don't want anyone to see what you're doing.

Trackpad Mobile

Screens can connect to another iPhone or iPad by running the Screens and turn it into a fully functional multi-touch trackpad.

Selection of Sessions

If someone is logged into a remote Mac, screens can ask you to share your screen or start a new session – your choice!

System Requirements

A VNC server, such as UltraVNC or TightVNC, is required to connect to a Windows PC.

Windows, Linux PCs and Raspberry Pi can only send or receive text and URLs.

The screens will not receive any sound from your computer. This is a limitation of the RFB protocol that the application is using.

Connecting screens requires OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard or later. You'll need to create a free screen ID.
