Multiple Display Support
View the Right Monitor, Every Time
For Macs with multiple connected displays, Screens gives you the flexibility to select a specific screen or view them all at once. Easily switch between monitors to focus on what matters most, and let Screens remember your last display selection for a smoother, more efficient workflow in future sessions.
Curtain Mode
Privacy When You Need It
Curtain Mode discreetly blacks out the display on remote Macs, ensuring your activity remains private. Whether you’re working on sensitive tasks, managing a computer in a shared space, or simply prefer not to share your screen, Curtain Mode keeps your session confidential while maintaining full control.
Pointing Devices & Keyboards
Turn Your iPad into a Powerful Workstation
Screens fully supports hardware keyboards and pointing devices, including mice, trackpads, and the Magic Keyboard, giving you the precision and control of a desktop experience on your iPad. Whether you’re navigating complex workflows or performing fine-tuned actions, Screens brings a responsive, seamless computing experience to your fingertips.
* Scrolling functionality requires a Magic Trackpad 2, Magic Mouse 2, or Magic Keyboard.
Session Selection
Join In or Work Privately—Your Choice
When connecting to a remote Mac with an active user session, Screens gives you the flexibility to request to share their screen or start a new background session of your own. Whether you’re collaborating with someone or need a private workspace, you’re always in control of how you connect.
File Transfers
