現在越來越多小朋友也有智慧型手機,用來與家人聯絡或是娛樂。家長出於擔心孩子安全和防止孩子沉迷手機,會使用手機監控的程式管理孩子手機。

對於年齡較小的孩子,這些手機監控程式可以讓家長及時了解孩子的動態,當孩子遇到一些潛在危險、收到不良訊息,甚至遇到校園霸凌時可以及時察覺,介入並進行正確引導,以避免事情往更壞的方向發展。但這也涉及到一些倫理和隱私問題,不當使用可能影響家長和孩子的關係,適得其反。應該如何正確使用手機監控程式,如何選擇手機監控程式是一個對家長來説非常重要的問題。這篇文章介紹了4款手機監控程式,各有特點,可以根據自己的實際需求和情況進行選擇。如果你想要一款兼具觀看、操控手機,又很安全,孩子可接受的程式,推薦使用DeskIn

家長需要監控孩子手機的五大原因

1、控制手機使用時間

小朋友對於時間的管控能力可能還不夠強,加之目前網路上的誘惑越來越多。玩遊戲、看短影音、社群聊天,都可能導致孩子沉迷導致無節制使用手機。這時候,監控程式能幫助家長了解孩子手機使用情況,並適當進行管控和調節。

2、甄別不良資訊或程式

網路上的資訊非常複雜,孩子可能還不太會分辨。定期查看孩子手機簡訊、網頁瀏覽記錄、社群媒體,可以及時察覺孩子是否有收到或觀看一些不良的資訊,如色情、暴力、賭博、欺詐、毒品等等。若有,則需要對孩子進行正確的教育和引導並刪除屏蔽不良資訊。

3、防止誤觸付費

目前手機上的支付和驗證流程越來越簡潔,帶來便利的同時也有一定的隱患。孩子可能會偷偷進行遊戲氪金,打賞直播主,又或是不小心按到了軟體的訂閲按鈕,如果沒有及時發現,可能會帶來經濟損失。

4、了解孩子,預防危險

家長無法隨時在孩子身邊,在學校或是和朋友之間的相處是否有出現一些狀況,家長可能無法百分之百知道。透過監控孩子手機的簡訊或是社群聊天記錄,我們可以更好地了解孩子,與同學有矛盾,校園霸凌(被霸凌或是實施霸凌),被侵害等等都可能及時知道。部分監控程式也可以看到手機定位,當知道孩子遇到危險時,也可以儘早趕到。

5、解決手機使用疑問

孩子手機使用的時間可能沒有家長長。當遇到一些技術問題、手機設定問題、或是作業的上傳備份問題無法解決的,部分手機監控程式譬如DeskIn可以幫助家長遠端操控孩子的手機幫忙解決,還有内建的語音通話功能,溝通更順暢。

監控孩子手機前的4大注意事項

1、尊重孩子

雖然我們知道父母都是出於關心而監控孩子手機。但請記住,孩子也是個獨立的個體,他也有自己的想法,小秘密和隱私,在使用監控程式前請記住這一點,尊重孩子以及他們的意見,避免過於强勢導致關係惡化。最好實在孩子知情的情況下再接入他們的手機。

2、提前與孩子溝通

提前告知孩子您監控手機的想法和目的,同時也了解他們的想法,溝通並達成共識,記得一定要在得到孩子同意之後再下載和使用手機監控程式哦。若是他們不同意,我們是不是也可以再尋求其他的方式以達到了解他們手機使用狀況以及安全的目的?

3、制定約定並遵守

對於監控程式的使用,若是孩子有一些想法和要求,比如不得監控某些程式、監控時間等等,在溝通之後,記得把這些約定記下,并在之後使用監控程式時遵守。記住,信任和溝通比一切都重要。

4、選擇安全的監控軟體

當您決定要使用監控程式是,記得一定要選擇一款安全的監控軟體。畢竟這些程式會獲得您手機的大部分權限,部分軟體還會記錄孩子手機的隱私資訊。選擇不安全的程式可能會造成信息泄露的風險,嚴重的,還可能會對孩子的安全帶來威脅。

Remote Monitoring & Maintenance for IT Teams Using DeskIn

In IT, there’s a universal truth: systems never break down when it’s convenient. It’s 3 AM. Your phone buzzes. A server just went rogue. The team’s halfway across the globe. And you’re under a blanket. That’s the reality of modern IT, distributed teams, hybrid work, and the need for always-on support.

The great news is, you do not need to be in the server room or burn the midnight oil keeping those systems running. The right remote monitoring & maintenance (RMM) solution gives you visibility into what's happening, enables you to resolve issues quickly, and even averts problems before they happen.

In this post, we explain the essence of RMM, why it has become so vital to IT teams today, and how it can assist you in managing ever-expanding systems in a secure, flexible as well as scalable manner from anywhere using DeskIn.

What is RMM?

Remote monitoring & maintenance, or RMM, is how IT teams can view and fix devices without being in the same room, or even country. You can remotely hop in there, spot what the problem is, and fix it in that location instead of walking right over someone’s desk in order to check why a PC is crawling.

What Does RMM Actually Do?

At its core, remote monitoring & maintenance is to keep your devices healthy and your users productive. It typically includes:

  • Monitoring system health: Get a live look at CPU load, RAM usage, disk space, and even how apps behave over time. If someone’s laptop is overheating because 47 Chrome tabs are open, you’ll know.

  • Detecting usage patterns:  Know what kind of alerts are being generated frequently and how systems/services are used, or misused, notice the pattern before it gets to your attention due to a production issue.

  • Performing updates and diagnostics remotely: Patch security holes, push software updates, and run checks without waiting for someone to bring their device into the office; you can handle it all in real time.

Who uses RMM?

  • IT helpdesks: Fix issues quickly without disrupting the user.

  • Enterprise IT teams: Manage thousands of devices across multiple sites with ease.

  • Managed Service Providers (MSPs): Deliver proactive support that keeps clients running smoothly.

In short, RMM transforms IT from reactive to proactive, letting teams maintain infrastructure without burning out or chasing tickets all day. And in 2025, with devices spread across homes, offices, co-working spaces, and even airports, remote monitoring & maintenance isn’t just helpful, it’s mission-critical.

Why Remote Monitoring Matters in 2025

The way we work has changed, permanently. Offices are optional, teams are global, and IT is expected to support everyone, everywhere, without skipping a beat. In this world, remote monitoring & maintenance isn’t just a convenience, it’s the glue holding modern work together.

Let’s break down why it’s more critical than ever in 2025.

1. The Remote and Hybrid Workforce Is Here to Stay

Back in the day, IT could stroll over with a USB stick and a screwdriver. Not anymore.

Now, your design lead works from a café in Seoul, your marketing team is spread across four cities, and your developer just hopped into a new time zone, again. Supporting this scattered crew means keeping eyes on every device, no matter where it’s plugged in.

That’s where remote monitoring & maintenance shines. It keeps systems visible, updated, and supported, whether users are at home, in the office, or somewhere in between.

2. Downtime Is Expensive

Every minute of downtime bleeds productivity, revenue, and trust. A laggy laptop during a client pitch, a frozen system mid-code deployment, those moments hurt.

With remote monitoring & maintenance, IT can act before trouble hits. You’re not waiting for someone to say, “Hey, something’s wrong.” You’ve already spotted the issue and fixed it before it derails the workday.

3. Real-Time Visibility Stops Bigger Problems

It’s the difference between noticing your car’s engine overheating while cruising on the highway or catching it in the driveway.

With real-time visibility, you can watch CPU spikes, memory leaks, overheating, or unusual activity as they happen. It’s like a live dashboard that lets you step in before small hiccups turn into full-scale crashes.

4. We Live in a Cross-Platform World

Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS — today’s work devices speak different languages, and your monitoring tools need to be fluent in all of them.

With solutions like remote desktop, you can manage them all from one place. Whether it’s a MacBook in a music studio, a Windows desktop in a data center, or a mobile device in the field, remote monitoring & maintenance keep them all connected, secure, and running at their peak.

  • Performing updates and diagnostics remotely: Patch security holes, push software updates, and run checks without waiting for someone to bring their device into the office; you can handle it all in real time.

Who uses RMM?

  • IT helpdesks: Fix issues quickly without disrupting the user.

  • Enterprise IT teams: Manage thousands of devices across multiple sites with ease.

  • Managed Service Providers (MSPs): Deliver proactive support that keeps clients running smoothly.

In short, RMM transforms IT from reactive to proactive, letting teams maintain infrastructure without burning out or chasing tickets all day. And in 2025, with devices spread across homes, offices, co-working spaces, and even airports, remote monitoring & maintenance isn’t just helpful, it’s mission-critical.

Why Remote Monitoring Matters in 2025

The way we work has changed, permanently. Offices are optional, teams are global, and IT is expected to support everyone, everywhere, without skipping a beat. In this world, remote monitoring & maintenance isn’t just a convenience, it’s the glue holding modern work together.

Let’s break down why it’s more critical than ever in 2025.

1. The Remote and Hybrid Workforce Is Here to Stay

Back in the day, IT could stroll over with a USB stick and a screwdriver. Not anymore.

Now, your design lead works from a café in Seoul, your marketing team is spread across four cities, and your developer just hopped into a new time zone, again. Supporting this scattered crew means keeping eyes on every device, no matter where it’s plugged in.

That’s where remote monitoring & maintenance shines. It keeps systems visible, updated, and supported, whether users are at home, in the office, or somewhere in between.

2. Downtime Is Expensive

Every minute of downtime bleeds productivity, revenue, and trust. A laggy laptop during a client pitch, a frozen system mid-code deployment, those moments hurt.

With remote monitoring & maintenance, IT can act before trouble hits. You’re not waiting for someone to say, “Hey, something’s wrong.” You’ve already spotted the issue and fixed it before it derails the workday.

3. Real-Time Visibility Stops Bigger Problems

It’s the difference between noticing your car’s engine overheating while cruising on the highway or catching it in the driveway.

With real-time visibility, you can watch CPU spikes, memory leaks, overheating, or unusual activity as they happen. It’s like a live dashboard that lets you step in before small hiccups turn into full-scale crashes.

4. We Live in a Cross-Platform World

Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS — today’s work devices speak different languages, and your monitoring tools need to be fluent in all of them.

With solutions like remote desktop, you can manage them all from one place. Whether it’s a MacBook in a music studio, a Windows desktop in a data center, or a mobile device in the field, remote monitoring & maintenance keep them all connected, secure, and running at their peak.

DeskIn vs Duet Display: The Best Screen Extension Tool for 2025?

Ever feel like your laptop screen just isn’t cutting it anymore? Like you’re constantly flipping between tabs, resizing windows, and trying to squeeze too much into too little space? Whether you're editing videos, designing, or just trying to keep Slack, Zoom, and Notion open at once, having a second screen can seriously save your sanity.

That’s where tools like Duet Display come in. It’s been a popular pick for a while, letting you turn your iPad (or other devices) into a screen extender. Pretty handy, right? But here’s the thing: in 2025, we’ve got options. And if you’re the kind of person who wants more than “just works,” there’s a new name worth checking out — DeskIn.

It’s not just another Duet Display alternative; it’s a screen extender with muscle. Real-time performance, ultra-low latency, and even 4K60FPS streaming. Deskin is built for people who actually need speed and clarity, not just extra screen space.

So if you’re setting up a dual monitor rig for work, gaming, or both, let’s break it down: Duet Display vs DeskIn — who really wins the second screen game in 2025?

What Is Duet Display and How Does It Work?

Originally built by former Apple engineers, Duet Display is an app that transforms your iPad, iPhone, Android device, or even another computer into a wireless or wired screen extender for your Mac or Windows PC. It's designed to bring portable, dual-screen power to people who don't want to haul around an extra monitor.

Supported Platforms

  • macOS

  • Windows

  • iOS / iPadOS

  • Android

  • Desktop-to-desktop screen extension

  • iOS mirroring (view your iPhone on your PC or Mac)

The September Game Releases You Need to Wishlist for Remote Play

September is always an exciting month for gamers. As the weather cools down, the gaming world heats up with fresh releases. Some games releasing this month are so addictive they’ll make you lose track of time. The stories keep you curious, the gameplay keeps your heart racing, and that “just one more round” easily turns into hours.

In this article, we’ll go through six of the most wishlisted titles launching this September: Hollow Knight: Silksong, Borderlands 4, Silent Hill F, Hell is Us, EAFC 26, and NBA 2K26. These games are set to spark huge conversations in the gaming community.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

silksong games, fitst list for games releases on sept

Synopsis
The long-awaited sequel to Hollow Knight puts you in the shoes of Hornet, guardian of Hallownest, as she ventures into a new kingdom full of enemies, traps, and mysteries. Expect fast, fluid combat and precision platforming that defines the series.

Game Type: Action-platformer / Metroidvania
Supported Systems: Windows, macOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, Steam Deck
Release Date: September 12, 2025

Why it’s hyped
Silksong has been on millions of wishlists for years. Its mix of exploration, haunting soundtrack, and acrobatic combat make it one of the hottest new games releasing this year. You’ll face over 200 fierce enemies—from beasts and hunters to assassins, kings, and knights—that will push you to keep playing.

Pro Gamer tip
Not every device can deliver the full experience. Consoles like Steam Deck, Xbox, Switch, and PlayStation are ideal, but not everyone owns them—especially PC gamers. With DeskIn, you can stream it straight to your mobile phone and even map joystick controls the way you like.

Borderlands 4

Synopsis
The looter-shooter franchise returns with crazier guns, wilder humor, and even more chaotic co-op missions. Players will explore alien planets, take on gangs and monsters, and hunt down loot that transforms playstyles.

Game Type: FPS / Co-op Action RPG
Supported Systems: Windows only
Release Date: September 18, 2025

Why it’s hyped
Borderlands’ cel-shaded art style and addictive loot system make fans impatient every release cycle. Borderlands 4 promises deeper storytelling and even stronger co-op, perfect to add to your PC games launcher.

Heads-up
This game is hardware-intensive and needs a strong rig plus stable internet for smooth performance. Remote play can be tricky, but if you just need to log in for events or checkpoints, DeskIn can still make it happen.

Silent Hill F

silent hill f play on your game launcher

Synopsis
A brand-new chapter in the legendary horror franchise, Silent Hill F takes players to 1960s Japan. Expect chilling atmospheres, twisted monsters, and a narrative that blends psychological horror with Japanese folklore.

Supported Systems: Windows, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam Deck
Release Date: September 20, 2025

Why it’s hyped
Fans have been starving for a new Silent Hill entry. Silent Hill F is said to bring back the franchise’s terrifying roots, making it one of the most hyped new games launching this year. One big mystery remains though: what does the “F” in the title stand for?

Pro tip
Silent Hill’s terror hits hardest with strong visuals and immersive sound. Sadly, not all devices can support that. Luckily, DeskIn lets you launch games without Steam and still feel the chills anywhere.

Hell is Us

Game Type: Action Adventure / Exploration
Supported Systems: Windows (not supported on Steam Deck)
Release Date: September 23, 2025

Why it’s hyped
The game ditches standard quest markers and encourages pure exploration, appealing to gamers who crave freedom. It’s no surprise many are eager to add it to their favorite games launcher.

Drawback
The game’s rich visuals demand high-performance hardware. With DeskIn, though, you can stream it to other devices without losing quality.

EAFC 26

Synopsis
EA’s annual football series—formerly FIFA—is back with EAFC 26. This edition features more realistic gameplay, updated rosters, and deeper career and online modes.

Game Type: Sports Simulation

Why it’s hyped
Football games always dominate wishlists. With better graphics and physics, EAFC 26 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated new games releasing this year.

NBA 2K26

Synopsis
The biggest basketball franchise returns with NBA 2K26. It brings lifelike player animations, deeper MyCareer content, and a more competitive online league system.

Game Type: Sports Simulation
Supported Systems: Windows, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch
Release Date: September 29, 2025

Why it’s hyped
Every year, NBA 2K sets the standard for basketball games. NBA 2K26 introduces smoother shooting mechanics and new story-driven content, keeping gamers checking their games launcher daily.

Drawback

Pro Gamer tip
Not every device can deliver the full experience. Consoles like Steam Deck, Xbox, Switch, and PlayStation are ideal, but not everyone owns them—especially PC gamers. With DeskIn, you can stream it straight to your mobile phone and even map joystick controls the way you like.

Borderlands 4

Remote Monitoring & Maintenance for IT Teams Using DeskIn

In IT, there’s a universal truth: systems never break down when it’s convenient. It’s 3 AM. Your phone buzzes. A server just went rogue. The team’s halfway across the globe. And you’re under a blanket. That’s the reality of modern IT, distributed teams, hybrid work, and the need for always-on support.

The great news is, you do not need to be in the server room or burn the midnight oil keeping those systems running. The right remote monitoring & maintenance (RMM) solution gives you visibility into what's happening, enables you to resolve issues quickly, and even averts problems before they happen.

In this post, we explain the essence of RMM, why it has become so vital to IT teams today, and how it can assist you in managing ever-expanding systems in a secure, flexible as well as scalable manner from anywhere using DeskIn.

👉 Click here to download DeskIn

What is RMM?

Remote monitoring & maintenance, or RMM, is how IT teams can view and fix devices without being in the same room, or even country. You can remotely hop in there, spot what the problem is, and fix it in that location instead of walking right over someone’s desk in order to check why a PC is crawling.

What Does RMM Actually Do?

At its core, remote monitoring & maintenance is to keep your devices healthy and your users productive. It typically includes:

  • Monitoring system health: Get a live look at CPU load, RAM usage, disk space, and even how apps behave over time. If someone’s laptop is overheating because 47 Chrome tabs are open, you’ll know.

  • Detecting usage patterns:  Know what kind of alerts are being generated frequently and how systems/services are used, or misused, notice the pattern before it gets to your attention due to a production issue.

  • Performing updates and diagnostics remotely: Patch security holes, push software updates, and run checks without waiting for someone to bring their device into the office; you can handle it all in real time.

Who uses RMM?

  • IT helpdesks: Fix issues quickly without disrupting the user.

  • Enterprise IT teams: Manage thousands of devices across multiple sites with ease.

  • Managed Service Providers (MSPs): Deliver proactive support that keeps clients running smoothly.

In short, RMM transforms IT from reactive to proactive, letting teams maintain infrastructure without burning out or chasing tickets all day. And in 2025, with devices spread across homes, offices, co-working spaces, and even airports, remote monitoring & maintenance isn’t just helpful, it’s mission-critical.

Why Remote Monitoring Matters in 2025

The way we work has changed, permanently. Offices are optional, teams are global, and IT is expected to support everyone, everywhere, without skipping a beat. In this world, remote monitoring & maintenance isn’t just a convenience, it’s the glue holding modern work together.

Let’s break down why it’s more critical than ever in 2025.

1. The Remote and Hybrid Workforce Is Here to Stay

Back in the day, IT could stroll over with a USB stick and a screwdriver. Not anymore.

Now, your design lead works from a café in Seoul, your marketing team is spread across four cities, and your developer just hopped into a new time zone, again. Supporting this scattered crew means keeping eyes on every device, no matter where it’s plugged in.

That’s where remote monitoring & maintenance shines. It keeps systems visible, updated, and supported, whether users are at home, in the office, or somewhere in between.

2. Downtime Is Expensive

Every minute of downtime bleeds productivity, revenue, and trust. A laggy laptop during a client pitch, a frozen system mid-code deployment, those moments hurt.

With remote monitoring & maintenance, IT can act before trouble hits. You’re not waiting for someone to say, “Hey, something’s wrong.” You’ve already spotted the issue and fixed it before it derails the workday.

3. Real-Time Visibility Stops Bigger Problems

It’s the difference between noticing your car’s engine overheating while cruising on the highway or catching it in the driveway.

With real-time visibility, you can watch CPU spikes, memory leaks, overheating, or unusual activity as they happen. It’s like a live dashboard that lets you step in before small hiccups turn into full-scale crashes.

4. We Live in a Cross-Platform World

Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS — today’s work devices speak different languages, and your monitoring tools need to be fluent in all of them.

With solutions like remote desktop, you can manage them all from one place. Whether it’s a MacBook in a music studio, a Windows desktop in a data center, or a mobile device in the field, remote monitoring & maintenance keep them all connected, secure, and running at their peak.

DeskIn vs Duet Display: The Best Screen Extension Tool for 2025?

Ever feel like your laptop screen just isn’t cutting it anymore? Like you’re constantly flipping between tabs, resizing windows, and trying to squeeze too much into too little space? Whether you're editing videos, designing, or just trying to keep Slack, Zoom, and Notion open at once, having a second screen can seriously save your sanity.

That’s where tools like Duet Display come in. It’s been a popular pick for a while, letting you turn your iPad (or other devices) into a screen extender. Pretty handy, right? But here’s the thing: in 2025, we’ve got options. And if you’re the kind of person who wants more than “just works,” there’s a new name worth checking out — DeskIn.

It’s not just another Duet Display alternative; it’s a screen extender with muscle. Real-time performance, ultra-low latency, and even 4K60FPS streaming. Deskin is built for people who actually need speed and clarity, not just extra screen space.

So if you’re setting up a dual monitor rig for work, gaming, or both, let’s break it down: Duet Display vs DeskIn — who really wins the second screen game in 2025?

What Is Duet Display and How Does It Work?

Originally built by former Apple engineers, Duet Display is an app that transforms your iPad, iPhone, Android device, or even another computer into a wireless or wired screen extender for your Mac or Windows PC. It's designed to bring portable, dual-screen power to people who don't want to haul around an extra monitor.

Supported Platforms

  • macOS

  • Windows

  • iOS / iPadOS

  • Android

Key Features

  • Converts your mobile device into a second screen

  • Wired (USB) and wireless screen extension

  • Touch input and Apple Pencil support for interactive second-screen use

  • Basic stylus input for sketching or light creative work on an extended display

  • Share keyboard and mouse across two devices

  • Desktop-to-desktop screen extension

  • iOS mirroring (view your iPhone on your PC or Mac)

  • Headless mode for server control

  • A lightweight, portable monitor replacement — perfect for digital nomads

Limitations

  • Most advanced features are locked behind a paywall

  • Doesn’t support full-color accuracy (no 4:4:4 rendering)

  • Not optimized for gaming — no game controller passthrough or high-FPS streaming

Common Use Cases for Duet Display:

  • Students or remote workers needing a budget-friendly dual monitor setup

  • Designers doing light sketching with Apple Pencil

  • Travelers who want a second screen without packing an extra display

  • Tech-savvy users wanting to control multiple machines from one device

Duet Display is great for everyday multitasking. It shines when you’re on the go or working with limited gear. But if your workflow demands real-time responsiveness, ultra-crisp 4K visuals, or pro-grade color fidelity, you might start hitting its limits fast. And that’s why more people in 2025 are eyeing a more powerful Duet Display alternative, like DeskIn.
