LAN Screen Control vs MeshControl Remote Desktop

LAN Screen Control is a local-network VNC client built for iPhone and iPad. It connects directly to Screen Sharing or Remote Management built into macOS, without a companion app on the Mac or a developer-operated cloud relay. FEATURES - Discover Macs on the same network, or enter a host name, IP address, and port manually - Sign in with a Mac user account or VNC password - View all displays or choose one screen, with manual dual-display calibration when needed - Precision trackpad with click, double-click, right-click, drag, two-finger scroll, and a vertical scroll strip - Remote keyboard with Esc, Tab, Delete, arrow keys, Command, and other common controls - Compose text locally or use system keyboard dictation, review it, then send it to the Mac - Ultra Smooth, Balanced, and High Quality performance profiles - Optional per-Mac clipboard sync, off by default - Bonjour discovery and automatic reconnection Saved computer details and preferences remain on this device. Usernames and passwords are stored in the system Keychain and are not synced through iCloud. The app contains no advertising or analytics SDKs and does not collect or upload connection details. Before connecting, turn on Screen Sharing or Remote Management in System Settings > General > Sharing on your Mac, and keep both devices on the same trusted local network. A VNC session should not be treated as end-to-end encrypted. Do not expose the VNC port directly to the internet. LAN Screen Control does not provide a public relay, audio, or file transfer.
