Hi I have been using remote desktop for years with no problems, but since updating to Sonoma this now needs some updates as it is not working as it should. Please update this software as soon as possible to get rid of the bugs. Many thanks Shane
Time for an update?

MacOS Mojave support with dark mode would be awesome
Should at least support all macOS in current support cycle.

It's ridiculous to expect admins using this app to always keep their production administration machines to upgrade to the leading edge of macOS versions!! Please make this app updateable on at least macOS Mojave and Catalina.
This is not a 'remote' desktop tool

Be very careful, I wasted my money downloading this app. It can only administer computers on the SAME NETWORK. Remote computers might as well be on the moon.
