• New Mac cards in your library, with each Mac’s model and status. Tap anywhere on a card to open the Mac. DualMac recognizes the model on your local network, and you can also choose it when you edit the Mac. • Redesigned session controls: they float over your Mac’s screen, hide on their own and make room when the Mac’s screen fills the display. • A Mac paired with DualMac Companion now opens with the Companion directly. If it doesn’t answer, the session switches to Screen Sharing (VNC) by itself and tells you. • Faster connection over Screen Sharing (VNC), and your session reconnects right away when you come back to DualMac. • If a Mac on your local network is off or out of reach, tapping its card now tells you in about 5 seconds instead of 30. • More precise touch gestures: double-taps are recognized reliably and scrolling stays on one axis. In Enhanced mode, scrolling now follows your fingers, as in Screen Sharing (VNC). • Changing the image quality now takes effect without reconnecting. • Clearer messages when a Mac closes the connection, and automatic reconnection after a brief network drop. • Fixes the display of MacBook Air and other Macs at their default resolution, and a crash on iPadOS 27 when closing a form with the keyboard open.
MoreThank you, that made my day. DualMac stays free, no account, no relay, it just talks to your Mac's Screen Sharing. If anything ever breaks, the support page on dualmac.app comes straight to me.
