Questions
Before you download.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 7 days, with every feature. We ask for a card so the plan can continue, and you can cancel any time before the first charge.
Can I reach my computer when it's asleep?
Yes. Turn on unattended access and Elsewhere wakes it when you connect, on Mac and Windows.
Do I need to open ports or change my router?
No. Your devices find each other through your account and connect directly. There is nothing to configure.
Can anyone see my screen, including you?
No. Sessions are encrypted on one of your devices and decrypted on the other. Our servers only introduce the two, then step aside.
What does one subscription cover?
Every computer you own, every device you connect from, and the Mac, Windows, iPhone, and iPad apps, for $20 a month.
How do I cancel?
From the app or from your account page. You keep access until the end of the month you paid for.
