Screens

Screens is a remote desktop app by Edovia for connecting to Macs, PCs, Linux PCs, and Raspberry Pi devices. Protocol Launcher allows you to generate deep links for saved screens, VNC connections, and SSH-secured Screens sessions.

Usage

There are two ways to use this library:

• On-Demand import from subpaths enables tree-shaking and keeps bundles small.
• Full Import from the root package is convenient but includes all app modules.

Pick On-Demand for production builds; Full Import is fine for quick scripts or demos.
