With macOS Catalina, Screen Time is now available on Macs for the first time. The tool, which launched on iPhone and iPad in 2018, records the amount of time a user spends in various apps, from social networking to games. It also contains blocking features to limit usage. There are also parental controls, such as the ability to place limits on communication, particularly from specific contacts. The feature has been designed to improve our digital wellness and get us away from our screens every once in a while.

My heart

This timelapse of macOS 10.0 through 10.15 is a nostalgic wonder

The very first version of macOS, or Mac OS X as it was known, arrived almost 20 years ago. This video takes us through every major update the Mac has seen since in one amazing timelapse.

Sounds good? Well it looks good too.

Screens features

Multiple Displays Supported

Use all the screens of your remotely connected computers. With the supporting Screens Connect screen sharing app, you gain access to all the stuff of any computer you configure for remote access. Just like sitting in front of it. Effortlessly use your machines from anywhere and enjoy all the advantages of wireless remote control.

Allow All Apps Mac

Recent connections + Curtain mode

Access your home Mac or PC remotely, from your ultimate Mac on the same local network, or being a thousand miles away. Browse all recent connections and found devices within seconds. Use the secure Curtain mode, which obscures your remote machine’s display.

Quick connect for friendly assistance

Your not tech-savvy friend asks to help with their computer, but you’re not around? Access your friend’s Mac or PC as a guest, or let your friends set up their machines to be always available for connection. To be honest, this works especially well with grandparents, if they don’t bother doing the tricky stuff.

Custom keyboard shortcuts

Some system keyboard shortcuts interfere with the ones you use in Screens? The app allows you to configure alternative keyboard shortcuts. Set up once and forget about keyboard conflicts, especially if you use your Mac to connect to a PC. Stay in control of your key bindings, no matter the connected system.

Blazing speed + Disconnection actions

Control Screen All Apps Mac Os

Needless to say, Screens initiates new connection sessions nearly instantly, while providing dependable performance, even on relatively sluggish networks. The latest VNC engine is snappier and more trustworthy than the previous versions. But even if you get disconnected, set up the actions to be triggered when it happens.

File transfer with drag and drop

Share and accept photos, links, lines of code or text + other stuff directly between yours and the connected computer. Take advantage of your clipboard to seamlessly transfer files. Easily drag and drop between computers, just like between ordinary windows on a single machine.

Control Screen All Apps Macbook Pro

Very impressed with World Clock Pro @setapp @minimuminc. Making light work of time differences 🤘yew. How MacOS still doesn't have some kind of digital clock widget is mind boggling.
I have used Endurance (http://enduranceapp.com ) which is on @setapp to try and extend my battery life, 12 hour flight from Vienna to LAX and I spent about 8 hours working on an essay - not bad going!
Wow just downloaded Setapp for my Mac - the value here is amazing. Some of the apps cost more than the monthly subscription alone and there are some amazing apps like Ulysses, RapidWeaver etc. @setapp
