Headroom 1.4.1 • With several displays on the Mac, a button on the control bar shows them one at a time, filling the screen. Each press moves to the next display, and each keeps its own zoom and position. • Folded like a laptop, iPhone Duo can turn its lower screen into a trackpad (switch with the keyboard; with an external keyboard it is the trackpad). • iPad gets a trackpad too, from the button next to the keyboard on the control bar. Tap, then touch again and slide to drag — swipes and drag and drop reach the Mac as they are. Two fingers scroll, a pinch zooms, and a two-finger tap right-clicks. • The remote-screenshot menu now takes 3, 4 and 5 from an external keyboard, and says how to select an area. • Fixes the keyboard button sometimes missing from the control bar on iPhone. • Fixes a crash that could happen when screen updates arrived back to back.

Headroom 1.4.0 • Open apps on your Mac in a tap. Use the new button on the control bar: type the first letters and pick a suggestion, or choose from your history. • When a connection fails, Headroom now tells you what to check for the actual cause — including Screen Sharing's "Allow access for" list, and networks that block the way to your Mac. • If your Mac stops responding during a session, Headroom now says so. • When adding a Mac, the host name field opens with the English keyboard. • A new tour of how Headroom works, with animated illustrations. • Settings is now on the home screen. Turn off "Show when the picture is behind" to hide the note that the picture is a few seconds old. • If you can't reach your home Mac while you're out, Headroom shows how to set it up for use from outside.

Works with iPhone Duo. Fold it in half: your Mac on the upper screen, the keyboard on the lower screen.

Headroom 1.3.5 — iPhone Duo is here. Headroom folds, opens and turns right along with it. ■ iPhone Duo • Half open like a laptop: your Mac on the upper screen, the control bar just above the fold, the keyboard on the lower screen. The keyboard comes up by itself when you fold, and stays when you open flat again. • Fully open, your Mac fills the inner screen with the controls along the bottom. Held like a book, the control bar moves to the side. • Closed, the outer screen works on its own, with the control bar down the side so your Mac gets the full height. • Nothing is drawn across the fold. With a hardware keyboard in the laptop pose, the whole lower screen becomes a control panel with large keys. The day your Duo arrives, open Headroom first. Thank you for the feedback. Keep it coming.

Headroom 1.3.2 • When a Mac added by IP address refuses the connection, the message now also covers an address that has changed, and how to fix it. • The tutorial's gesture card has been rewritten: to drag and drop or select on the Mac, press and hold, then move your finger once you feel the tap. It appears once at launch on iPad and iPhone. Thank you for the feedback. Keep it coming.

Headroom 1.3.1 • Adding a Mac by hand now says where to find its address: enter the name ending in ".local" shown at the bottom of System Settings › General › Sharing on the Mac, with no need to look up an IP address. • More detailed anonymous diagnostics for connections that fail or drop, so we can find the cause (nothing about your screen or your Mac is sent). Thank you for the feedback. Keep it coming.

Headroom 1.3.0 — Made for iPhone Duo ■ iPhone Duo • Half open like a laptop: your Mac on the upper screen, the control bar just above the fold, the keyboard on the lower screen. The keyboard comes up by itself when you fold, and stays when you open flat again. • Fully open, your Mac fills the inner screen with the controls along the bottom. Held like a book, the control bar moves to the side. • Closed, the outer screen works on its own, with the control bar down the side so your Mac gets the full height. • Nothing is drawn across the fold. With a hardware keyboard in the laptop pose, the whole lower screen becomes a control panel with large keys. Thank you for the feedback. Keep it coming.

Headroom 1.2.6 — Better help on the way to your Mac ■ Improved • When no Mac is found on cellular, Headroom now says so. On Wi-Fi, the steps also mention Remote Management. • When sign-in is refused, Headroom now says what to enter, depending on whether the password was empty, wrong, or a VNC password. • The password field no longer says "optional". Thank you for the feedback. Keep it coming.

Headroom 1.2.5 — Fixes for pasting and stability ■ Fixed • Fixed a crash when using Undo on the keyboard. • Pasting several lines no longer sends them part-way: line breaks are typed as Shift-Return, so a chat box takes the whole paste. ■ Improved • With a hardware keyboard connected, the keyboard button is hidden: iOS doesn't show the on-screen keyboard then. • With two Headroom windows open, asking Siri to connect now connects in one window instead of every window, and closing one window no longer removes the other's Siri actions. • Help now has a link to write a review on the App Store. • Help now explains that copying on the remote works best with ⌘C on the keyboard. Thank you for the feedback. Keep it coming.

Headroom 1.2.3 — Now in 17 languages ■ New languages • British English, European Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish. • Headroom follows your device's language. English in the UK and Portuguese in Portugal now have their own wording. Thank you for the feedback. Keep it coming.

Headroom 1.2.2 — The Pro screen now says what matters first ■ Headroom Pro • The price, and that it is paid once, now sit right under the title. They used to be small print inside the button. • When today's free minutes run out mid-session, the screen now says so, that Pro lets you carry on right away, and that free time is back at midnight. • The last-minute banner's button now reads "Continue with Pro". • Pro works with Family Sharing: members of your Family Sharing group get Pro too, at no extra cost. ■ Fixed • The offer shown when you tap a Mac with today's free time already used was being recorded under the wrong reason in our usage statistics. Nothing changes on screen; we can now see whether that offer helps. • A modifier such as ⌘ on an external keyboard could stay held on the remote Mac after you let go, so typing "o" arrived as ⌘O. Fixed. • On the Mac, the window sometimes reopened at its default size instead of where you left it. It now reliably comes back where it was. Thank you for the feedback. Keep it coming.

Headroom 1.2.1 — The freeze turned out to be one picture every ten seconds ■ Connectivity: we found what was freezing the screen When the whole remote screen keeps changing — a lock screen, a screen saver — Headroom asked for the next picture a moment too early, and the Mac treated that request as already answered and dropped it. The picture was only advancing on a ten-second liveness check. With the timing fixed, the time with nothing arriving fell from 68% to 17% on our own measured link. ■ From the people using it • Every Mac in the list now has a ⓘ. Tap it for that Mac's settings — the username, the password and the switch for the key button. A Mac found on your network had no lasting way in there. A Mac you have never connected to shows its settings before the first connection. • The key (password) button is now a per-Mac switch, and it starts off. Tapped by accident while the Mac is not on its lock screen, it types your password into whatever has focus — you told us, and the safe side is now the default. Turn it on under "Remote password" in a connection's details. • When the picture is running behind, Headroom now says so, so you do not send a password twice while looking at an old screen. • On a Mac, the 3 / 4 / 5 keys now work in the screenshot chooser. • The "no Macs found" help now also points at Local Network access on this device. • The interface is now available in Italian (ten languages in all). Thank you to everyone who wrote in. Keep telling us what you find.

Headroom 1.1.36 — Now in Portuguese • The app's interface is now available in Portuguese (nine languages in all). It follows your device's language setting.

Headroom 1.1.35 — From App Store events straight to the guide • Opening Headroom from an App Store event (such as "Screenshots on Your Remote Mac") now takes you straight to the How to Use guide.

Headroom 1.1.34 — Remote screenshots, and a word on every bar key • New camera key on the control bar: take a screenshot on the remote Mac (whole screen, an area, or the screenshot panel) — from iPhone and iPad too. Press 3, 4 or 5 on a keyboard to pick. • On a Mac, or an iPad with a trackpad, point at a key on the control bar to see what it does. • The tutorial's copy-and-paste card now describes what actually happens.

Headroom 1.1.33 — ⌘C, ⌘V and ⌥ on your physical keyboard just work • After ⌘C (or ⌘X) on the remote, ⌘V on your physical keyboard now pastes it. Before, it could type out something you had copied earlier on this device. • ⌥ (Option) on a physical keyboard and on the bar was reaching the Mac as ⌘. Fixed: ⌥ with the arrow keys moves by word, and ⌥ characters and shortcuts work as they should. • On the Mac, Headroom now opens where you left its window, at the size you left it.

Headroom 1.1.32 — Clearer when today's free time is used up • Once today's free time (3 minutes a day) is used up, tapping a Mac now tells you before connecting that it comes back at midnight. Until now the app connected, showed the Mac for a moment, and only then said so. • Get Headroom Pro right there and the Mac you tapped connects straight away.

Headroom 1.1.31 — Now in German, Spanish and French; Headroom Pro works with Family Sharing • The app is now translated into German, Spanish and French — eight languages in all, alongside Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Korean. The connection list, the control bar, the help and the error messages are all translated. • Headroom Pro now supports Family Sharing. Members of your Family Sharing group can use Pro on their own iPhone, iPad and Mac. • The Pro screen now says so too.

Headroom 1.1.30 — Pro, explained plainly • The Headroom Pro row in the Remote Macs list now shows how much of today's free time is left. On a day it is used up, it says when it comes back. • The Pro screen now states that Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, and works across iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Headroom 1.1.29 — The list now reflects the network you are actually on • Fixed: away from home, your home Mac stayed in the list. It now disappears as soon as you leave that Wi-Fi. • Fixed: back home, the Mac could be missing until you restarted the app. Headroom now notices the network changed and looks again by itself. • Moving to a different Wi-Fi no longer leaves the previous network's Macs on screen.

Headroom 1.1.28 — Fewer failed connections, and notice before the free time runs out • If the Mac's Screen Sharing is set up with a VNC password, that password now works. It used to be sent as the Mac account's credential and was refused every time. • When sign-in is refused, the username and password can be corrected right there, without going back to the list. • With less than a minute of free time left, the session says so on screen while staying connected, with Pro one tap away.

Headroom 1.1.27 — Ready for iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27 • Verified on iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27. • Saved connections can be reordered by dragging (iOS 27 and macOS 27 and later), so the Mac you use most can sit at the top. • When no Mac is found on the network, the list no longer sits on "Searching…". It now says what to check, with a button to add a Mac by IP address right there. • Verified on iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

Headroom 1.1.25 — A clearer sign-in error • Reworded the message shown when the Mac refuses a sign-in. It now says plainly that this is not your Apple Account: it is the username and password you use to log in to that Mac itself. That confusion was the most common cause of failed connections.

Headroom 1.1.24 — Copy & paste, and screenshots • ⌘V on a physical keyboard now pastes what you copied last. If you copied text on this device, it is typed into the remote; if there is none (an image, say), the remote pastes its own clipboard. Previously only the remote's clipboard could be pasted. • On macOS, screenshots of the remote (⇧⌘3 / ⇧⌘4 / ⇧⌘5) now work. One-time setup: System Settings › Keyboard › Keyboard Shortcuts › Screenshots — turn them off. From then on the chords reach the remote whenever Headroom is frontmost. Note: to screenshot this Mac itself during a session, bring another app to the front first. Prefer not to change the setting? The Remote menu sends them as ⌃⇧⌘3 / ⌃⇧⌘4 / ⌃⇧⌘5. • Fixed the key button's first login after connecting sometimes doing nothing on the remote (macOS).

Headroom 1.1.23 — Now on the desktop • A macOS version is now available. The same Headroom you know from iPad and iPhone, running as a native window — so you can reach the Mac mini in the other room, the one with no display attached, from the desk you are sitting at. • Pro is shared across iPhone, iPad and Mac. If you already bought it, the same Apple Account unlocks it here too — tap Restore Purchases. • The modifier keys in the control bar now pick up the material introduced in iOS 26. Earlier versions of iOS keep the bar exactly as it was. • Fixed a bug where a Mac that could not be reached left the app stuck on "Connecting…". It now says why — and when Screen Sharing is off on that Mac, it shows you where to turn it on. • Fixed a macOS bug where, while working on a zoomed-in remote screen, your own pointer could leap to the edge of the display and vanish. • "Authenticating…" is shorter when connecting. • "Don't show this again" on the tutorial can now be undone — open the tutorial from the ? button in the connection list. • On macOS, the bottom of the connection sheets could be pushed out of the window. Fixed. • The session feels more responsive: pointer and scroll events are no longer held back.
