Welcome to Jump Desktop 8.4.3 for Mac. This release adds these new features:

Audio streaming for Fluid


Fluid now supports real-time audio streaming when connecting to Mac or Windows! Audio streaming is enabled by default on all Fluid connections.

Mac Users: You'll need to install additional software on the remote computer to stream audio. Read more here: How to stream audio on Mac.

We've also added the ability specify a proxy server for automatic connections for those who need it (Jump Desktop -> Preferences -> Network). We've also fixed a few issues:

Here's what was new in previous updates....

Jump Desktop 8.3.11

This update fixes (even more) compatibility problems when connecting to Linux machines.

Here's what was new in 8.3.8:

Support iCloud keychain syncing

If iCloud keychain is enabled, Jump will sync your computer passwords and ssh keys across your Macs and iOS devices. Requires Jump Desktop 9.0 for iOS keychain syncing, which will be available very soon.

We've also added more computer icons to choose from: Right click your computer in Jump, click Edit and click the computer icon to choose.

We've also fixed some issues with RDP where moving the mouse pointer had problems after a recent Windows update.

Jump Desktop 8.2.22

This update fixes graphical issues with VNC and RDP connections on Mojave 10.14.5.

In 8.2.21 we added full Wake-On-LAN capability for automatic connections. Click here to read more: Jump Desktop Wake On Lan Support.

Here's what was new in 8.2.14:

Dynamic Resolution Matching for Fluid

This is a powerful productivity feature that will make your remote desktop experience much better: Jump can resize the display on the remote machine to match your local display. This feature makes it much easier to remote control machines which have a larger display than your Mac (or vice versa). Seeing is believing:

Dynamic Resolution Matching for Fluid

Tip: To manage your resolution settings: Right-click your connection icon and then click Edit -> Display. You can also change settings live by clicking Remote -> Displays. Dynamic resolution switching is turned off by default for existing connections but turned on for new Fluid connections.

Known limitations: Jump will do it's best to match your local display however it's limited by the capabilities of the remote machine's graphics adapter.

Wake-On-Lan for automatic connections

Jump will now try to wake up the computer if it’s offline before connecting.

Performance

This release changes the way Jump Desktop draws the remote screen. On Mojave and later, Jump will use macOS's Metal renderer to draw the remote screen. This results in better visual quality, lower latency, higher performance and better battery life. Pure goodness.

We've also partially off-loaded Fluid protocol decoding to hardware (Up to 20% better performance).

Other notable changes:

And here's what was new in earlier releases....

Jump Desktop 8.1.6 for macOS

Here's what was new in 8.1...

Jump Desktop 8.0 for macOS

8.0 brings remote support features, collaborative screen sharing, password-less logins and tons of bug fixes!

Requirement

Screen Sharing features require the free Jump Desktop Connect app to be installed on the remote computer. Jump Desktop Connect is a free app that anyone can install by visiting https://jumpdesktop.com/go. Also, we've updated Jump Desktop Connect to 6.0. Connect 6.0 has tons of new features too. Read the announcement here: Jump Desktop Connect 6.0 Announcement.

Collaborative Screen Sharing

Collaborative Screen Sharing lets many users connect to the same desktop. Each user gets their own mouse cursor and can point and click without fighting over the same cursor. Great for editing documents with coworkers, tweaking designs with remote team members, creating presentations together, and teaching Grandma how to clean out her email.

Collaborative Screen Sharing Demo

Ask To Share Screen

We've added a new Ask To Share Screen button for unobtrusive remote support. When connecting to computers over Fluid Remote Desktop, client Ask To Share Screen when prompted for credentials or right click a Fluid connection and then click Ask to Share Screen.

Collaborative Screen Sharing Demo

Jump Desktop then will ask the person on the remote computer if they want to start sharing their desktop with you:

Collaborative Screen Sharing Request

You'll be able to see their screen when they click Accept. No need to share passwords anymore!

Anyone can share their screen by sending you a link. You don't need to be an authorized remote access user on their machine or know their password to connect. All they need to do is install Jump Desktop Connect from https://jumpdesktop.com/go, click Copy Link and message you the link. They can even read out the link over the phone (it's designed to be human readable). It's very simple, very quick and very powerful. Here's what it looks like:

Screen Sharing Link

iCloud

We've ironed out iCloud syncing problems in this release made the overall syncing process smoother. You can now access your iCloud servers by opening up: Finder → iCloud Drive → Jump Desktop → Servers.

We've also added iCloud support to the non-App Store edition of Jump! This makes the App Store and non-App Store version of Jump virtually identical.

Tons of bug fixes and stability updates
