Manage Computers allows you to select the default computer the app should connect to when launched. You can hide/unhide computers from the list by tapping the eye icon. And to reset all settings, use the trash icon in the upper left corner.

Volume Buttons & Sleep

• Use Physical Volume Buttons - by turning this ON, you can control your computer volume using physical volume buttons from any view in the app. Unfortunately, in iOS 16, Apple changed something and made this behave erratically. So if you experience issues with volume HUD showing on your Mac or volume increasing and decreasing on its own, turn this setting OFF.

• Finder Adjustment - If this setting is turned ON, the volume is changed using smaller increments.

• Prevent Sleep - When turned ON, your device won’t automatically enter sleep.
