We’re excited to announce the release of Screens 5.4, a feature-packed update that brings a range of improvements and fulfills several popular requests from our users. Here’s what’s new:
Two-Factor Authentication
This has been one of the most requested features from Screens users, and we’re pleased to finally make it available in Screens 5.4, along with Screens Connect 5.2 for Mac and Windows. While implementing two-factor authentication added some complexities, we’re thrilled to offer this extra layer of security to enhance your remote access experience.
Screens Connect 5.2
Regarding two-factor authentication, we’ve just released Screens Connect 5.2 with 2FA support, available for Mac (macOS 10.13 or later) and PC (Windows 10 or later).
Right-Click Drag
Another long-awaited feature—right-click dragging—is now fully supported across all devices! Screens for Mac users may already be familiar with this feature, but now it’s also available on iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro. Whether using touch gestures or a hardware pointing device, you can now right-click drag with ease, making it easier to navigate and manage your remote sessions.
On iPhone and iPad, tap and hold with two fingers until a red indicator appears—then you’re ready to drag elements around.
On Vision Pro, simply pinch and hold with both hands to achieve the same effect.
Other Updates and Improvements
- Hide Tailscale Devices – Tailscale users can now hide specific devices for a cleaner interface.
- Customizable Toolbar on Vision Pro – You now have the option to hide the left toolbar if it’s not needed.
- Disable Notifications – Notifications like clipboard syncs and secure connections can now be disabled, letting you tailor your Screens experience.
- Quick Access to Type User Password – The “Type User Password” function is now available directly from the Actions menu on iPhone, saving you time.
- Set MAC Address in Connection Settings – For advanced users, it’s now possible to set a MAC address in the connection settings if necessary.
And, as always, we’ve included general performance improvements and bug fixes to keep your experience as smooth as possible.
Availability
Screens 5.4 is available now on the App Store for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro.
Thanks to all our users for your feedback and support. We hope these new features make your remote experience even better!
