Remote desktop app for sharing screens and files sharing across most devices focusing on speed and security.
- Very nice app you don't need to be a Champion in Computers. I have connected my mac to nuc+proxpox+windows 10 arikalbukrek • Apr 2020 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees
- Easier interface, or user friendly IMO. Once you get into the many options and settings though I can see it being overwhelming. What sold it for me was the Cross-Platform Unattended access option, allowing me to operate of control any device in my network. Only drawbacks for myself would be issues with connecting to a ChromeOS device (Chromebook), as well as increased lazyness. Guest • 11 days ago

I am not sure that this should be considered "free". The target machine has to have an advanced version of Windows OS installed to use RDC.

Icon for the Mac version

The icon for the Mac version of this actually looks better than the icon in the Windows version. True story.

See? Gorgeous. Microsoft needs to get their act together... and make some better-looking icons for their Windows apps.
