**Single Click Gestures**

You want to know what's possible with single click gestures on your Mac? Well, you're in luck because it's incredibly easy to use. A single click is done just by tapping the screen, and any command that uses a single click uses a single tap. You can also double-click, which is a double touch and hold. That'll open up the contextual menu. And if you need to interact with something, you can use two fingers to scroll within a window in any direction you want. Whether it's up or down, left or right. You can also use one finger tap and hold to drag anything that you can drag is just done like that.

**Keyboard Usage**

The keyboard doesn't come up automatically when you need it. You have to tap on it to bring up the keyboard, and then enter your text. And once you're done entering your text, you actually have to hide the keyboard yourself. But don't worry, it's easy to use. The keyboard options are similar to those on a traditional Mac keyboard, with all the usual commands and shortcuts available.

**Multi-Finger Gestures**

If you want to get really advanced with your multi-finger gestures, you can set up four finger gestures for system commands on your iPad. But if you're using an older version of iOS, you'll have to disable that feature. And if you open up a desktop that has multiple monitors in a vertical formation and you can't see them very well, you can just turn your iPad to portrait mode and pan around, zoom in however you need.

**Advanced Options**

If you want to connect to a remote computer or use SSH tunneling for extra security, you can do so by typing in the necessary information. You can also have it disable SSH on your local network if you want. And if you're using Windows, you'll notice that there's a Windows key instead of the Command key. But otherwise, the features are identical.

**Screens 2.0**

Screens 2.0 is a universal app that works on iPhone and iPod touch just like it does on iPad. It also works with iCloud, so it can detect and sync all the screens you set up on your iPad in real-time. If you edit something on one device, the changes will be automatically synced to the other devices. And because it's a universal app, it looks exactly the same on both iPhone and iPad.

**Screens for Mac**

If you want to use Screens 2.0 on a Mac, you can download it from the Mac App Store. It works in a very similar way to the iOS version, with all your screens automatically available when you launch it. You don't have to click on the screen of the computer you're using; it will just give you cascading death, and then you can open up any other screen like you would through any other VNC program.

**Screens Connect**

Finally, there's Screens Connect, a small utility that runs on Mac or Windows and keeps track of the IP address of your computer. This makes it incredibly easy to log in from a remote location, because you set it up on both your Mac and iOS device using the same credentials. And when you go to add a machine to Screens 2.0, you can tell if it's working by seeing a small antenna icon next to the computer name.

**Using Screens Connect**

To use Screens Connect, you'll need to download it from the App Store or Google Play Store, depending on your device. Once you've set it up on both your Mac and iOS device, you can log in with the same credentials on both devices, and Screens 2.0 will be activated automatically. This makes it incredibly easy to use, because you don't have to worry about remembering separate usernames or passwords for each machine.
