Your desktop at homeYour Mac with you

A familiar place to land

Different place.
Same desktop.

SkipperDesk puts one computer’s screen on your Mac. Your keyboard and trackpad control the other computer, so you can pick up where you left off.

No moving your files. No setting everything up again.

  1. Leave a computer ready

    Install SkipperDesk on a Mac, or on a Windows PC in the private beta. Sign in on the computer you want to share, then turn on sharing.

  2. Make yourself at home

    On the Mac with you, enter the other computer’s Device ID and access code. Its desktop opens in your window.

  3. You decide who gets in

    The other computer asks before letting anyone in. Going out? Turn on Unattended access there before you leave.

Room to try it

5 hours, on us.

Time on your desktop.
No monthly bill.

Your first five hours last 14 days. Time is only used while a session is running. Leaving a computer ready to connect uses none.

We’re in beta, so paid top-ups aren’t open yet. When they are, $5 will get you 50 hours.

About your hours and the beta

Away from your desk.
Right at home.
