Hi

I’ve just started using Jump on my iMac desktop, controlling it with my iPad Pro. All works well, but I was wondering if it was possible to lock and hide the desktop screen when being controlled remotely?

Thanks

  UPDATED Nov 13th 2023: This is now possible with Jump. We shipped Privacy Mode last year. Privacy Mode can be used to blank out the host machine's computer's screen and lock the physical keyboard and mouse. Privacy mode is detailed here: https://changelog.jumpdesktop.com/privacy-mode-for-fluid-qkivS

  Thanks.

  this is a hugely critical feature...

  when you remotely connect to a mac, not only is the remote screen visible and displaying potentially sensitive information, but someone at that remote console can take control of the physical machine.

  Hello support, is there any progress on this?

   

  Another issue with this way is when I am working remotely is okay, once I sit behind my Mac I cannot login, it's just like freezes login window.

  Recently I observe that when I am connected to my mac from Windows Machine and I am trying to install something from Mac App Store, is not working. Does not matter is this free or paid application, clicking on the Get button does not work at all.

  Any update on automating this process? I need to be absolutely certain the monitor is locked when remotely connected.

  Cannot follow the workaround suggested (I presume because in Sonoma some preference items have been moved) could you update it?

  any news for native integration of this feature, since the thread is 4 years old?!

  Yes, this is implemented. Updated above. We added privacy mode in 2022 to Fluid: https://changelog.jumpdesktop.com/privacy-mode-for-fluid-qkivS

  Thanks.
