MeshControl Full adds screen selection on multi-monitor computers, the actions menu (Ctrl+Alt+Del, switch window, copy and paste, Task Manager and more) and upcoming features such as file transfer. Full is available as a weekly auto-renewable subscription or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
