TakeMote

Having a reliable software solution that enables you to remote control your computer does not only allow you to manage applications from afar, but it can come in handy in situations when you are troubleshooting a loved one's PC without being there, for instance.

TakeMote is a program designed to help you view and control apps you have installed on your computer directly from your smartphone, tablet or a remote PC.

After a quick and straightforward setup, you can access the tool from the System Tray. You should know that the application requires some minimum configuration as you need to establish the connection between the devices.

While you can avoid some issues by connecting the device you plan to use as a remote control first, it is important to note that both of them are supposed to be on the same local network. You can easily choose the apps that you want to remotely access by dragging and dropping them to the dedicated quick tool window that appears on your desktop.

The idea behind the program is to enable you to access and use applications installed on your computer from a different device. You can select the apps that you want to manage from afar at any time and restrict clients to only access particular applications.

The feature can offer you a certain level of protection, especially if you are attempting to access apps from a device that does not include a firewall or antivirus.

The tool also allows you to view and manage one or more desktops, a feature that can be useful if you usually need multiple applications for your work or personal projects.

In the eventuality that you are looking for a utility that allows you to operate your computer or keep a close eye on applications you commonly use for work or other projecs, then perhaps TakeMote could lend you a hand.
