Reach the computer you already own. See and control your own computer — macOS, Windows, or Linux — from your iPhone or iPad. The desktop streams in real time, and your phone or tablet drives it with a hardware keyboard and a precise pointer. WHAT YOU CAN DO • View your computer's desktop live and full-screen • Click, type, and scroll with full iPadOS pointer support, Magic Trackpad included • Hardware keyboard with arrow keys, modifier combos, and shortcuts that pass through • Two-finger tap for right-click, drag-to-select, smooth trackpad gestures • Sync text clipboard between phone and desktop • Connect over your local network when possible, or over the internet when you're out GOOD MOMENTS • Grab a file off your desktop while you're traveling • Run a desktop-only tool from your phone in line at a coffee shop • Use your iPad as a thin client for your computer at the kitchen table • Manage a home server or Linux machine without pulling out a laptop • Check on a long render, compile, or backup from the road INPUT THAT BEHAVES Pointer input tracks the desktop cursor, scroll matches direction, and modifier keys send through. iPad pointer support is wired in directly, so a Magic Trackpad on a Magic Keyboard works as a first-class input device. On iPhone, touch becomes a cursor with a two-finger right-click and pinch-and-drag for selection. NETWORK BEHAVIOR On the same Wi-Fi, the connection runs directly between your two devices. Off your home network, an encrypted route forwards the session. You don't configure any of that; the picker just connects. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The screen stream is encrypted. When traffic is direct, it stays between your phone and your desktop. When a relay is needed, it forwards encrypted bytes and never reads what's on your screen. Scry never opens your phone's camera or microphone. The viewer only shows the desktop you signed in on. SCRY PRO Scry Pro unlocks remote desktop access from this iPhone or iPad. Sign in is free; reaching one of your desktops from the mobile app requires Pro. Subscribe monthly, take the annual plan, or pick up the Lifetime option as a one-time payment. New annual subscribers start with a 7-day free trial. SIGN IN Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. The same sign-in goes on the desktop app you install on the computer you want to reach.

About

AngleDuo

Features
Read full description

Two surfaces. One angle. On iPhone Duo, AngleDuo uses the hinge to measure the angle between two surfaces. Position the two halves against the surfaces and read the result. Hold the value with a tap or enable automatic capture, which waits for two seconds of stable readings. A held value stays available when you close the phone. On other iPhones and iPads, measure two surfaces in sequence: capture the first, then move the same device edge to the second. The shared edge must be horizontal; this gravity-based method cannot measure a corner between vertical walls. On Duo, sequential measurement is available in Settings. The level measures with the device resting on its back or standing on an edge. A moving shadow and a fixed scale show the tilt. Placement can be selected in Settings, where you can also find slope and roof-pitch values. “Per cut” gives the saw setting for two equal miter cuts. An interior angle of 112° gives 34° per cut; 0° means a square cut. Find it on Duo’s supplementary inner pane or in Settings. The spirit level is free. The angle finder includes 5 free measurements; after that, the one-time AngleDuo Pro purchase unlocks it without limit. Measure angles without limit, with the hinge and on any iPhone. Also includes target angles with tolerance and relative zero. Optional Pro purchases and restoration are handled by Apple through StoreKit. The app checks the purchase entitlement on your device. We do not receive your payment details. The number of free angle measurements used is counted on your device in the Keychain; it is not transmitted and is not reset by deleting local data. Deleting local measurements does not cancel a purchase.
