## What is Desk?

Desk is a remote desktop app built for iPhone Duo. It connects to the Screen Sharing already inside macOS, so there is nothing to install on your Mac, and it changes shape with the phone.

CLOSED Your Mac fills the screen. Tap to click, two fingers to right-click, pinch to zoom, two fingers to scroll. The controls sit along the side, out of the way.

OPEN The whole Mac, with a Touch Bar-style shortcut bar underneath. Add keys, chords like ⌘⇧4, system actions, text, app launchers and scripts. Drag to reorder, tap the handle to tuck it away.

FOLDED Stand it up like a laptop. The screen moves to the top half; a trackpad, mouse buttons and your shortcuts fill the bottom.

A REAL ⌘-TAB Tap Switch and keep tapping. The app switcher stays open while you tap and lets go a second after your last one, just like holding Command.

EVERY MAC MOVE, ONE TAP Mission Control, App Exposé, Spotlight, show desktop, switch desktops, close, minimize, hide, quit, Force Quit and lock. All in the Actions menu, and any of them can live in your shortcut bar.

SCRIPTS AND SNIPPETS Give a launch item a command and Desk opens a new window in that app, types it and presses Return. Snippets are saved text you tap to type, with hidden text for secrets, and a tap to paste what is on your iPhone's clipboard onto the Mac.

ALL YOUR COMPUTERS An address book of Macs. Tap one to connect. Macs on your network with Screen Sharing on show up on their own. Home Screen widgets list them too.

NOTHING IN BETWEEN No account. No server. No tracking. Desk talks straight to your Mac over VNC, and your computers, shortcuts and passwords stay on your devices and in your iCloud, where iCloud Keychain carries the passwords. Nothing is sent anywhere else.

iPHONE, iPAD AND MAC One app on all three. With a trackpad or mouse, your pointer becomes the Mac's pointer: hover, click, right-click, drag and scroll.

AWAY FROM HOME Put Tailscale on the Mac and the phone and connect from anywhere, with the same setup.

Desk works with any VNC server: macOS Screen Sharing and Apple Remote Desktop authentication, plus RealVNC, TigerVNC, UltraVNC and others on Windows and Linux.
