Comments and Reviews
This is a pretty well hidden feature of OSX: It's a VNC client shipped with the OS but not accessible from Spotlight or any shortcuts (AFAIK). To open it, you can either:
vnc://192.168.0.10" in the address field (replace the IP-address)/System/Library/CoreServices/Screen Sharing.appWhen you have the app open, you can pin it to the Dock as with any app.
Thanks to DavidTheExpert for this great tip :)
@gelefisk, What you are describing is not Apple Remote Desktop. You are describing Mac Screen Sharing. You can open Screen Sharing directly from Spotlight by typing "Screen Sharing".
Apple Remote Desktop is a paid application that you have to buy for $79.99. https://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/
