Once downloaded, users can simply drag the app’s icon to the Applications folder and follow the prompts to complete the installation process.

Once fully installed, the app does not require any additional configuration steps.

How to Use

The procedure of managing remote desktop connections with this app revolves around the use of Desk ID’s or aliases. All cross-platform versions of this app connect to a central server, which manages secure connections and allows routing to the correct user ID.

To connect to a remote Mac or PC, users only need to enter the target ID and click on a Connect button.

Once the connection is established, users gain access to a wide offering of additional support services, including a fully featured file transfer manager, whiteboard, video quality selector, and more.

User Interface

After starting the app for the first time, users will be welcomed to a simple and easy-to-use main dashboard that promotes three primary areas – “This Desk” where their computer is assigned with a 9-figure code that any remote person needs to connect to this machine.

The “Remote Desk” tool features a blank text field, where users can enter someone else’s computer code and then connect to it. Finally, “Discovered” is the area where previously accessed computers are listed.

All in all, even complete novices can easily learn how to manage remote connections with this app.
