Farroom vs Ajar

Your computers and PC games, on iPhone and iPad. Use touch controls on iPhone or a spacious workspace with keyboard and pointer support on iPad. On iPhone Duo with iOS 27.1, unfold for a larger desktop or partially fold for a desktop above a trackpad or keyboard. FOUR WAYS TO CONNECT • Mac Screen Sharing: Apple High Performance streaming on compatible Apple-silicon Macs, with physical or virtual desktops and host-supported computer audio. Choose all physical displays or an individual monitor. • RDP: connect to supported Windows and Linux desktops, with text and image clipboard sharing and host-supported audio. Transfer files and folders with Pro when the server supports clipboard file redirection. • VNC: connect to compatible Mac, Windows and Linux servers. Adjust image quality and compression on supporting servers and choose a monitor when the server supplies its layout. • Sunshine: stream a desktop or configured app from a separately installed Sunshine host. Use a compatible controller or the on-screen gamepad. Choose HEVC or H.264 and adjust stream size, frame rate, bitrate and stereo audio quality. Optional HDR needs a compatible host, decoder and display. CONTROLS THAT FIT Click, drag, scroll and type. Use touch gestures, an extra-key strip, standard shortcuts, and supported keyboards and pointing devices. Fit the desktop or zoom in. Desktop previews, Compact view and quick-access widgets help you find your computers. Built-in setup and gesture guides help you get connected. START FREE One saved computer, every connection type, full connection settings, supported audio and text clipboard, RDP image sharing, Sunshine HDR and game controllers, standard shortcuts, desktop previews and backup export. No ads, session timers or artificial quality limits. MORE ROOM WITH PRO Unlimited saved computers, folders, notes, reusable text, custom and pinned shortcuts, control presets, saved workspaces, desktop captures, screen-text recognition, RDP file and folder transfers, and connection-library import. Choose what to sync through iCloud, automatically or manually, with a Wi-Fi/Ethernet-only option. Open up to eight session windows on iPad or Mac. Customize the Duo control strip. Monthly, yearly and lifetime plans include the same Pro features across iPhone, iPad and Mac using the same Apple Account. Existing lifetime owners keep access. Restore Purchases is on the Pro page. YOUR CONNECTION, YOUR SETUP No Farroom account, relay or Farroom helper app. Your computer needs a supported remote-access server and a reachable address. Away from home, you can use a separately installed private-network app such as Tailscale. Farroom does not provide a VPN. KNOW YOUR CONNECTION Quality, frame rate, HDR, sound and available controls depend on the host, network and viewing device. Sunshine display selection is managed on the host; it has no clipboard or file transfer. Controller rumble depends on controller and host support. Unicode text input depends on the host; a US keyboard compatibility mode is available. VNC has no audio and supports Latin-1 text clipboard only. RDP images and files need host clipboard support; Windows Home cannot host built-in RDP. Linux support depends on its desktop and server. Microphone forwarding and session recording are unavailable. Mobile systems may suspend background sessions. Saved passwords stay in device Keychain. Optional iCloud setup sync excludes passwords, certificate approvals, desktop images, audio and clipboard contents. SUBSCRIPTIONS Monthly and yearly Pro renew automatically unless canceled. Eligible yearly subscribers receive a 14-day free trial. Local prices and eligibility appear before purchase. Manage or cancel through Apple Account subscriptions. Expiry returns to Free without deleting saved data. Lifetime does not renew. Privacy: https://farroom.danielren.tz/privacy/ Terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Your iPhone folds. Ajar tells you how far. That is the whole app. One large number, live from the hinge, moving as you open and close. Underneath it, a single line of commentary about the angle you have settled on, which is rarely a compliment. WHAT IT DOES • Reads the hinge on iPhone Duo and shows its angle in degrees, live • Draws the fold from the side, opening and closing along with the real thing • Shifts its colours as the hinge moves, from shut to completely flat • Makes a small fuss of the angles worth making a fuss of — 45°, a perfect right angle, laptop mode at 120°, reclined at 135°, the agony of 179°, and flat • Writes a fresh line of commentary on device using Apple Intelligence, so nothing you do leaves your iPhone — and where Apple Intelligence isn't offered, falls back to lines the app was built with, so there is always something unkind to read • Turns any angle into a share card, square or story shaped, for people who did not ask to see it NO HINGE? Then there is nothing to read, and the app says so: the reading is labelled "Entirely made up" and you get a slider and a row of presets to set the angle yourself. Everything else works exactly the same. It is not the real thing. It is close enough. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account. No sign-in. No network. No adverts. No tracking. No analytics. No settings screen, because there is nothing to set. It reads the hinge, prints the number, says something unkind about it, and stops. Built for iPhone Duo and runs on any other iPhone, with VoiceOver labels throughout and a bit of haptic ceremony when the number lands somewhere tidy.
