Screens 5.10 now introduces two highly‑requested features. The app adds remote Mac audio and automatic desktop resizing powered by Apple’s High Performance Screen Sharing technology. These additions respond to user feedback and aim to improve remote collaboration across Apple’s ecosystem.
When you rotate an iPhone or iPad, change multitasking layout, or resize a connection window on Mac or Vision Pro, Screens automatically adjusts the display. You can also lock a fixed resolution for consistency. Remote audio lets you hear sound from a compatible Mac, while HEVC streaming ensures smoother video, scrolling, and animations. Edovia notes a fast, stable, low‑latency connection is ideal, with fallback to standard updates if the network degrades, preserving resizing and privacy features. A new Metal‑based renderer boosts performance across Windows, Linux, and Raspberry Pi, and the UI gains a Liquid Glass carousel and improved floating toolbars on iPhone and iPad. The Metal renderer also reduces CPU usage and supports higher frame rates. Users can toggle audio per session, and the automatic resizing respects display scaling settings.
The update is free from the App Store, with premium options starting at \$4.99/month or \$29.99/year and a \$199.99 lifetime license. The subscription model offers flexible pricing for individuals and teams, with the lifetime option providing unlimited access. Edovia provides a full release notes page for details.
