ManyScreens runs on the computer you want to reach. You open it from wherever you are, on a laptop, a tablet or a phone, with nothing to install on that side. Direct on your own network, through a relay everywhere else, and never a port to forward.
macOS · Windows · Linux. On a phone or tablet you only need the browser you are holding.
The pieces of a remote desktop you actually use, without the parts you have to set up.
The viewer is a web page. Any current browser is enough, Safari on an iPhone included. Bookmark it and you are in.
On the same network the picture never leaves the building. Elsewhere it goes out on port 443 like any website and comes back the same way. Nothing to open on your router.
Pick the monitor you want. Or open a window per screen and put them side by side, the way they sit on the desk.
Hear the remote machine. Copy on one side, paste on the other. Drop a file on the window and it lands in Downloads over there. Send the keys the browser would keep for itself, ⌘⇥ and alt‑tab included.
Pinch to zoom, two fingers to scroll, a look‑or‑control switch so nothing gets clicked by accident, and a row of the keys a phone does not have.
A code appears on your screen. You read it out, they type it in, and you say yes at the machine. Ten minutes to use it, gone after that. No account needed on their side.
The app goes on the machine you want to reach. Everything else is a browser.
Download ManyScreens on the computer you want to reach. It lives in the menu bar or tray and can start with the computer.
Create an account, click Pair a computer, and type the code into the app. Takes a minute, happens once.
Sign in from any browser and click the computer. Mouse, keyboard, sound and clipboard are yours.
For the computer you want to reach. The side you watch from needs only a browser. Updates install themselves.
Remote access you cannot see is the kind you should not trust. Here the machine being watched says so, every time.
Free is for a few computers on your own network. Pro is for living on it.
