Virtual Node Controllers (VNCs) are apps that make “headless computers” possible. Whether you have a Mac server, a classroom full of Macs, or maybe just one Mac mini you’re using as a media server, VNCs make it possible to view or control those Macs and other PCs from a remote location. Today we have one of the best VNC apps for Mac available at over 50% off — Screens 3 is now just $12.99 instead of the usual $29.99 price. Here are some of the features packed into Screens 3:

  • Remotely access your other computers on your Mac
  • Set up an action that triggers each time you disconnect (e.g. Log Out Your User, etc.)
  • Protect your data by connecting via an SSH tunnel
  • Get one-time guest access to someone else’s Mac without logging in
  • Customize a toolbar w/ important shortcuts
  • Connect to multiple displays at once
  • Send & receive content using Screens’ clipboard functionality
  • Enjoy multi-touch features you use on your Mac trackpad

This deal doesn’t last forever, so be sure to take advantage of it today!

And that’s not all that’s about to go away forever – our giveaway of a brand new Apple 12-inch Retina Display MacBook worth $1,299 happens soon, so if you haven’t entered yet, do it today! You only have until Friday, July 29th to enter.
