Remote desktop squeezes another Mac's entire screen into a single window. Connect to your home iMac and your work MacBook Pro at once, and you get two screens inside your screen — plus three menu bars and three Docks. DeskWrap pulls out just the windows of the app you need and opens them on this Mac, right in your Dock and ⌘Tab like any other app.

No more screen-in-a-screen. Arrange windows and press keys exactly the way you do on this Mac.
Put remote app windows next to your own, and resize each one on its own.
⌘Tab straight to it, and ⌘Q quits only that app on the remote Mac.
The remote Mac's input method composes what you type, and switching input sources here switches them there too.
Copy text on one Mac and paste it on the other. Nothing crosses over until the moment you paste.
Remote apps play their sound on this Mac — each app only its own.
If Wi-Fi drops for a moment, it reconnects on its own and your open windows stay right where they were.
So close you'll forget it's remote: instant when you type, smooth when things move, crisp down to the smallest text.
Type into an app on another Mac and the letters land instantly — you'll forget it's remote.
Flick through a list or watch things move — it keeps up, smoothly.
Shown at actual size, never scaled down, with clean edges on every letter.
When Wi-Fi weakens, it lowers picture quality for a moment and keeps your typing responsive. When the network recovers, so does the picture.
It sends the windows of the apps you pick, not the whole screen — so your network and both Macs have less to do.
After that, just pick an app and only its windows come over.
Download one DMG and move DeskWrap to the Applications folder on both Macs.
Choose an option in the first-run guide. It walks you through each permission it needs.
Enter the code the host Mac shows and you're connected. Next time, no code needed.
Only the apps you pick are shown. Everything else stays on that Mac.
Your Macs connect to each other directly. No account, no sign-in.
They connect only after you enter the 8-character code shown on the host Mac.
Screen Recording lets it send app windows. Accessibility lets it pass along your keyboard and mouse.
DeskWrap is notarized by Apple and updates itself when a new version is out.
Remote desktop shows another Mac's entire screen in a single window. DeskWrap opens only the windows of the apps you pick, one by one, as windows on this Mac — so you keep one menu bar, one Dock and one ⌘Tab: this Mac's.
DeskWrap works one app at a time. If you need another Mac's entire desktop, the Screen Sharing app built into macOS is the better fit.
Being on the same Wi-Fi is enough. To use it away from home, connect the two Macs with a VPN such as Tailscale.
The Mac running the app has to be on. The Mac you're using just shows its windows.
Macs with Apple silicon (M1 or later). The Mac you use needs macOS 15 or later, and the Mac running the apps needs macOS 15.2 or later.
For now it's Mac only. We're working on other devices.
