That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 65 of the 85 other remote desktop apps grade higher. It costs $47.88 a year. - 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: Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video. - You could not: A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
