Remote Desktop for Mac
Reach your Mac from anywhere, and reach every other computer from your Mac.
Jump Desktop Connect
Install Connect on your Mac and it shows up on every device you sign in to.
Retina Virtual Display
A display sized to the screen you connect from, so text stays crisp instead of scaled.
Hardware Encoding
Every Mac encodes in hardware, so sessions stay smooth and light on the processor.
Privacy Mode
Blank the Mac's screen and block its keyboard and mouse while you work. It locks when you leave.
Unattended Access
Connect when no one is at the Mac, even from the login window.
Permissions Assistant
Connect walks you through the permissions it needs, so the Mac stays reachable.
Ask to Share Screen
Ask to see the screen of someone using the Mac. Nothing is shared until they accept.
Jump Desktop for Mac
Built for a full day of work, not just a quick fix. Connect to your Windows, Mac, Linux, RDP, and VNC computers.
- Open multiple computers at once, in tabs or separate windows.
- Use every screen at your desk, with one display per screen. More than one needs Teams Enterprise.
- Grade and retouch from your own calibrated display with Color Passthrough.
- Share your game controller with the host. Teams Enterprise adds drawing tablets, control panels, and security keys.
Keyboard and Mouse
Your Mac shortcuts, trackpad, and pen work the way you expect on every computer you reach.
Familiar Shortcuts
Copy, paste, and undo with the Mac shortcuts you know, even on a Windows PC.
System Shortcuts
App switching, Spotlight, and Mission Control go to the Mac you're controlling.
Trackpad Zoom
Pinch on your trackpad to zoom in on the remote desktop. Your mouse's back and forward buttons work too.
Pen Tablets
Pressure, tilt, and rotation from your pen tablet reach apps on the host. Needs Teams Enterprise.
Input Trail
See your strokes right away while the host's screen catches up.
Cursor Lock
Keep the pointer inside the session for games and 3D apps.
Displays
Give the host a desktop that fits every screen at your desk, with sharp Retina text.
- Virtual displays resize with the window and run at your screen's full refresh rate.
- Switch between the host's own displays, or see them all at once.
- Save a layout as a preset and apply it to any computer.
- Keep virtual displays on the host between visits, so your windows stay where you left them.
Session Tools
Everything you need for a full day of work on another computer.
Sharp Text
4:4:4 color keeps small text and fine lines crisp, on every plan.

Copy on one computer and paste on the other, in both directions.
Remote Audio
Hear the host's sound on your Mac.
Microphone
Speak into apps on a Mac host with your own microphone.
Observe Mode
Watch a session without sending input, so nothing gets clicked by accident.
