Field notes
The page describes a cross-platform remote desktop workflow covering live screen control, keyboard and mouse input, file transfer, drag-and-drop, and copy-paste. Same-network machines reportedly discover one another without a server, while off-network access uses a ten-digit number and a server-backed connection. The pricing model is unusually specific: local use remains free, internet access starts with 100 free hours, and the page states that one $5 payment covers a computer permanently rather than creating a subscription.
