It's actually two separate builds (one written in Swift, the other in C#) with a common protocol. I tried finding ways of sharing code but it ended up being easier to just write separate applications for each platform.

Hopefully Remotely works for you, but please let me know if you have any issues!

I've just installed it - it seems to work pretty well - it already handled fast user switching better than the other thing I tried.

Given it's monthly, I assume the "cloud" stuff is run on your infra. Would you consider a one-time buy option, that uses e.g. iCloud/.. whatever the windows equivalent is.. to Sync?

But generally seems to work well. I have some wifi lag (a known issue, and I haven't got around to running ethernet yet) so it has a very slight delay, but I wouldn't blame the tool until I've tried it wired.

Oh fantastic, that's great to hear.

The Cloud Discovery feature is actually only for networks that don't support multicast DNS. If Remotely is working for you as-is then it shouldn't be necessary. But adding iCloud/Windows equivalent support is a great idea. I can take a stab at implementing that.

Are you running this on mac? I've noticed that certain applications (such as Chrome) can cause bad wifi lag. Hopefully it's still usable for you however.

Please let me know if you run into any other issues!

Thanks for the info, I’ll let you know how it goes!
