  "account": "Screens, the remote desktop app compatible with iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro, has unveiled two sought-after features in version 5.10. These enhancements include remote Mac audio and automatic desktop resizing, both powered by Apple's High Performance Screen Sharing technology. With this update, users can effortlessly adjust the remote desktop's appearance based on their device's orientation, multitasking layout, and window resizing preferences on Mac and Vision Pro. The app also offers a fixed resolution option. To assist with audio, remote audio functionality allows users to hear sound from a compatible Mac. Additionally, HEVC streaming technology promises smoother video, scrolling, and animations.\n\nEdovia, the developer behind Screens, emphasizes the necessity of a fast, stable connection with low latency for optimal performance. In the event of network issues, the app gracefully falls back to standard screen updates, maintaining features such as resizing and display privacy. Furthermore, Screens 5.10 introduces a Metal-based renderer aimed at boosting performance across various connections, encompassing Windows, Linux, and Raspberry Pi. Other improvements comprise a Liquid Glass connection carousel and floating toolbar enhancements on iPhone and iPad. Edovia's announcement provides a comprehensive overview of the update. Screens 5.10 is available for free download on the App Store, accompanied by in-app purchases. Subscription plans start at $4.99/month or $29.99/year, with a $199.99 lifetime option also offered.",
