## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace ToDesk you would be making a fast, secure link to another computer through any network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

- You could not: A fast, secure link to another computer through any network.
- You could not: Storing and serving files for other people.
- You could not: Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
