What distinguishes these three applications?
Screens 5
Screens 5 is the client application designed to be installed on your iOS device or Mac and enables connections to other computers.
Screens for organisations
Screens for Organisations offers the same features as Screens 5, but is specifically designed for schools and businesses using Apple School Manager (ASM) or Apple Business Manager (ABM) as these platforms do not support in-app purchases.
If you need to use Screens in a business or institutional environment and require MDM-based app distribution, this is the version you should buy. For all other use cases, we recommend Screens 5 instead.
Screens Connect
Screens Connect serves as a companion app and ensures continuous remote access to your Mac or Windows PC to Screens. We recommend using Screens Connect for computers you own or are regularly connected to.
Screens Assist
Screens Assist is a compact utility app that remote users download and run on their Mac to enable remote access. This application is particularly useful for occasional connections, e.g. to help family and friends. Screens Assist requires the availability of a user on the remote Mac to approve the connection request.
