Jump Desktop for Mac 8.9.23 Beta

We've made notable improvements in the way we handle connection windows in 'Displays in Separate Windows' mode. We're opting for a strategy that reuses existing windows instead of closing and re-opening windows. This is particularly beneficial when using virtual monitors.

Stylus remoting has seen a significant upgrade, delivering precision and accuracy like never before. Also, we've added an option to disable stylus remoting on the client side. If you wish to disable stylus remoting,  connect to the machine and click Remote => Uncheck Stylus.

We've amped up our compatibility with Adobe Photoshop, specifically improving the way we handle mouse cursors.

We've also implemented various stability and performance enhancements.

Your feedback is invaluable to us. Please don't hesitate to reach out to support@jumpdesktop.com if you have any questions.

Privacy Mode for Fluid


Privacy Mode for Fluid blanks out the host machine's physical displays and blocks inputs from physical keyboard and mice attached to the machine. Privacy mode will also automatically lock computer after a user's remote session ends. This is perfect for when you need to remotely work on sensitive documents and media. Great for shared environments and hybrid work. 

To enable privacy mode connect to your machine and click Remote -> Privacy Mode.

Teams users can also enforce Privacy Mode via Connect Settings:

Privacy Mode is currently available when connecting from a Mac to a Windows or Mac machine.

Virtual Displays

Virtual Displays for Fluid lets you extend your remote session beyond the physical limits of your host's displays. You can now create up to 4 virtual displays during a remote session (see below for limitations). 

Virtual displays support arbitrary resolutions and can match your local display layout perfectly. This is perfect for working with multiple monitors without having to worry about how many monitors are attached to the remote host. Virtual Monitors also support Retina mode for extra clarity! 

To get started: 

Connect to your machine and click Displays -> Virtual Monitor and select the number of virtual displays to use. Once virtual displays are engaged Jump will replace the host's physical monitors with virtual monitors. You can resize virtual monitors by simply resizing your local Jump Desktop windows.

Requirements:

Virtual Monitor support current works when connecting from a Mac to a Windows 10 or macOS 10.14+ machine. A Teams Enterprise subscription is required to enable 2 or more virtual monitors.
