#BEST VNC VIEWER FOR MAC QUICK FOR MAC#
Screens 2.0 for Mac is every bit as easy to setup and even easier to use, since you're driving a windows-mouse-pointer interface with a windows-mouse-pointer interface, and don't have to worry about mapping multitouch gestures to point and clicks the way you do with iOS. And yes, Screens 2.0 just screams for a Retina iPad 3. The iPhone and iPod touch can feel a little cramped at 3.5-inches but the density of the Retina display mitigates that a lot. The large 9.7-inch display just works so well. Overall, the iPad feels like it was made with a VNC app like Screens in mind. You can also use the Action button to quickly take a screenshot (of just the desktop, not the entire display the way a built-in iOS screenshot would) and quickly access Settings and Help. Four finger swipes are currently used for for system-wide multitasking gestures on iPad, but if you disable them in Settings, you can reassign them for specific Screens actions as well.Ĭlosing a screen is as simple as tapping the Action button and hitting Disconnect. Windows options include Open Start Menu, CTRL-ALT-DELETE, etc. Other Mac options include launching Spotlight, showing Dashboard, etc. If you're connecting to a Mac, three finger swipes default to changing Spaces or launching Mission Control. These can be a little trickier to accurately pull off, especially on the physically smaller iPhone display, so you'll want to make sure you're as zoomed in a possible first. A double tap is a double click, a two-finger touch-and-hold is a right mouse click (or ctrl-mouse click). Scrolling within a window is a little slower.Ī single tap is equivalent to positioning the mouse curser and clicking. Responsiveness for panning and zooming is remarkably fast and fluid. You can pinch to zoom, and touch-and-hold one finger to drag a window around or drag and drop an icon or highlighted text. Once in your screen, swiping with your finger moves the screen around (not the cursor, as it does in some other VNC apps), and two-finger swipes scrolls the content within the active window (for example, scrolls through a document or web page). It's literally that simple to get remote access to your desktop or laptop from your iPhone or iPad (or other Mac, if you're using the Mac version.) If you haven't saved or recently entered your password, you'll be asked to enter it for security. On the iPad you can switch to a grid view to easily re-oder them as well. Once you have a screen set up, you'll see it available on the Screens desktop. If you're a more advanced, or security conscious user, you can also add machines via IP address or Hostname, enable SSH tunneling, toggle color-depth, and create custom gestures. You still have to enter your own username and password, either your Mac user account, or VNC account.
