Crabfleet
Crabfleet brings your remote computers into a native Mac app. Save VNC connections, search your desktops, and switch between open connections. Use Share This Mac to host your Mac, or Crabfleet Connect to host Linux and Windows desktops.
The Mac viewer provides Metal rendering, Quick Connect, full-screen controls, multiple warm sessions, saved passwords, and Wake-on-LAN. Shared desktops negotiate video, audio, cursors, clipboard, and optional file transfers. Ordinary VNC connections work without an account.
Optional sign-in adds private desktop discovery. The browser companion opens your relay-enabled Mac and Linux shares without a native viewer. Each account sees only its own published computers. Windows hosting currently supports direct VNC only.
