• Pasteboard images are only receivable from a Mac. Windows and Linux PCs can only receive text and URLs.

See Screens’ User Guide for details.

What's New In This Version:
Dropbox Support! Screens still defaults to iCloud when saving your saved screens but now allows you to use Dropbox to synchronize them.

● Added Norwegian keyboard support on Windows.
● Fixed some Belgium and Finnish keyboards bugs.
● Screens won’t use an SSH password as a VNC password if it is associated with an SSH key.
