Comparison
Remote desktop vs Pane for coding on another machine
TL;DR
Remote desktop is right when you need the other machine's whole screen. For coding, Pane is faster and works far better on a phone, because it sends text and data instead of video.
At a glance
| Remote desktop (Screen Sharing, RDP, Chrome Remote Desktop) | Pane | |
|---|---|---|
| What crosses the network | A video stream of the screen | Terminal text, file contents, page data |
| Feel on Wi-Fi | Laggy, blurry text | Like local |
| On a phone | Tiny desktop, pinch and zoom | Built for the phone screen |
| Multiple devices at once | Usually one viewer controls | Each device has its own view |
| Dev servers | Open the browser on the remote screen | Open at localhost on your connected desktop, or in a browser tab on your phone |
| Price | Varies | Free, open source |

When remote desktop is the right choice
- You need a graphical app that only runs on the remote machine (Xcode Simulator, design tools).
- You're helping someone and need to see exactly what's on their screen.
When Pane fits better
- Coding and agents. Terminals, files and dev servers at native speed.
- From your phone. Readable, tappable, with agent status at a glance.
- More than one of you. Your laptop and phone can look at different things on the same machine.
Use both
Keep Screen Sharing for the rare graphical task; use Pane for daily work on the machine.
