Download and SetupĪnyDesk’s macOS and PC software can be downloaded for free for personal use from their website. Very little fiddling was required to get it to work (in fact, just download and go), and thanks to two strong internet connections on both ends, AnyDesk almost had me feeling like I was running a full-on Windows PC on my iMac from miles away. With the onslaught of tax filing needing to be done from home last week, I needed to figure out a way to access my work PC from my iMac at home.ĪnyDesk quickly saved the day. Plus, even now, after attempting to get it work for the better part of an hour, I cannot get Screens Connect to work. I have a home Eero network that requires a little fiddling to get working through Screens Connect, and my office PC is connected to an older router. I do admit, however, that I haven’t had as much luck with Screens as I’d personally like. In fact, Screens for iOS was just updated to properly support the new cursor support on the iPad, making for what should be an excellent experience zipping around on your Mac through your iPad. Our review of the best remote access solution for macOS and iOS may be a bit dated right now, but the pick likely hasn’t changed: Screens VNC is still as rock solid and as beautiful as ever before.
