Keep a headless Mac mini or Mac Studio awake
Turn a Mac mini or Mac Studio into a reliable always-on machine that never sleeps, survives a power cut, and comes back on its own.
Fix blurry Screen Sharing on a headless Mac
A headless Mac gives you a fuzzy, low-res desktop over Screen Sharing or VNC. Keepresso can serve a crisp HiDPI display with no HDMI dummy plug and no paid app.
