What changed
- The toolbar of a remote session has a Frame rate: Auto, or 15 to 120 frames a second, with any quality, applied the moment you pick it. It is a ceiling: on a slow connection the remote computer still sends fewer.
- The toolbar's Quality list includes Custom, so a session that starts with the custom quality from Settings shows it instead of an empty box.
Checking what you downloaded
Every file has a SHA-256 below. Compare it with the one your own computer works out, and you know you have the file we built rather than one somebody put in its place.
On Windows
Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\DeskPair-0.4.1-win-x64.zip
On macOS or Linux
shasum -a 256 DeskPair-0.4.1-arm64.dmg
Windows will warn you
Windows has not seen enough copies of this build to have an opinion about it, so it says the publisher is unknown. Choose More info, then Run anyway. This happens for every new release, and the checksum above is how you confirm the file rather than trusting the dialog.
On macOS, open it the first time from the menu
Hold Control, click DeskPair, and choose Open. macOS asks once and remembers. DeskPair also needs Screen Recording permission before it can share this computer's screen, and asks for that the first time it is used that way.
On a phone or tablet
The phone apps control a computer; they do not let a phone be controlled.
Coming soon.
