蘋果遠端桌面的最佳替代品

Updated

蘋果遠端桌面是 macOS 用戶的遠程管理工具，但其僅支援 Apple 生態，價格昂貴且功能有限。DeskIn 作為更靈活的替代方案，提供跨平台支援、穩定性能和多樣化功能，是滿足遠程辦公和技術支援需求的理想選擇。

蘋果遠端桌面

蘋果遠端桌面（Apple Remote Desktop，簡稱 ARD）是一款專為 macOS 設計的遠端控制軟體，可以用於管理遠端 Mac 裝置、進行軟體分配部署、為遠端裝置提供技術支援。

優點：

系統整合度高：ARD 深度集成於 macOS 生態系統，操作流暢，無需額外配置，macOS自帶的功能基本都可以順暢操作。
適合多裝置管理：支援批次操作，可快速分配軟體及管理多台 Mac 裝置。
安全性高：依賴 Apple 的生態系統，安全性和隱私保護值得信賴。

缺點：

價格昂貴：ARD沒有免費版，下載軟體需要 $79.99美金，對於個人用戶的試錯成本較高。
平台局限：僅支援 macOS 裝置，無法控制 Windows 或其他系統裝置，對於有跨平台需求的用戶不太合適。
功能相對單一：主要聚焦於設備管理，缺乏螢幕管理等多樣化功能。
更新緩慢：ARD並不常更新，導致很多bug無法及時得到解決。也有用戶反饋新版本比舊版本出現更多的問題。
連接問題和安全性：ARD 在 Intel-based Mac 與 Apple Silicon 裝置（如 M1 或 M2 系列）之間的連線上容易出現問題，特別是當啟用了 FileVault 或防火牆時。暫時關閉這些功能可以解決部分問題，但可能會降低裝置的安全性。
應用程式不穩定：如果在未重新啟動的情況下切換使用者帳戶，ARD 可能會凍結或無法啟動。
高性能模式的問題：在啟用高性能顯示模式時，ARD 可能出現影像或音頻異常，特別是在使用外部裝置（例如混音器）或調整解析度時。

How to Stop Someone from Accessing Your Phone Remotely

In today's hyper-connected world, our smartphones hold everything — personal messages, photos, financial accounts, and more. But what happens when someone is accessing your phone remotely without your knowledge?

This guide explains how to tell if your phone is being accessed remotely and how to stop someone from accessing your phone remotely, whether you're using Android or iPhone.

How to Tell if Someone Is Accessing Your Phone Remotely

Here are the top signs that your phone might be remotely hacked or monitored:

1. Unusual Phone Behavior

Apps open by themselves, settings change without input, or your screen flickers — these are signs of unauthorized remote control.

2. Rapid Battery Drain

Spyware and remote-access tools often run in the background, consuming battery life significantly faster than normal.

3. High Data Usage

If your mobile data usage spikes and can’t be explained by your regular app use, it may indicate data is being sent elsewhere without your consent.

4. Background Noise on Calls

Hearing electronic interference or clicking sounds during calls? It could be a sign your phone is being tapped or monitored.

5. Unknown Apps Installed

Apps you didn’t download may be malicious software installed remotely to spy on your activity, especially on Android devices.

How to Stop Someone from Accessing Your Phone Remotely

Once you suspect unauthorized access, here’s how to take back control:

1. Remove Hidden Apps via Android

Go to Settings > Apps > Manage Apps
Look for unknown or recently installed apps you didn’t authorize
Uninstall them immediately

2. Change All Your Passwords

Update your phone lock screen password
Change passwords for Google, Apple ID, and social media accounts
Use complex and unique passwords for each platform

3. Check Google or Apple Devices

On Android:
Settings > Google > Manage your Google Account > Security > Manage Devices
On iPhone:
Settings > [your name] > Scroll to see devices
Remove any unfamiliar devices from your account

4. Install a Trusted Antivirus

A good mobile antivirus can detect spyware, trojans, or keyloggers. Run a full scan to clean your phone.

5. Avoid Clicking Suspicious Links

Never tap on unknown links received via SMS, email, or messaging apps. They might install remote-access tools instantly.

6. Avoid Public Wi-Fi & Charging Stations

Hackers can exploit public networks or USB ports to inject malware. Always use VPN and your own charger when in public.

7. Factory Reset as Last Resort

If all else fails, back up your data and perform a full factory reset to wipe out any hidden malware or backdoors.

Final Thoughts

If you're worried that someone is accessing your phone remotely, it's critical to act fast. Early signs like fast battery drain or unknown apps can be your first warning. Follow the steps above to stop remote access on Android or iPhone and keep your digital life secure.

Make Work Fun Again with Playful Work Design

Playful Work Design: Turning Routine Jobs Into Joyful Wins

We’ve all heard the phrase “Work Hard, Play Hard.” It’s a motto that’s especially popular among those born in the 80s and 90s — a generation that believes serious effort deserves serious fun.

But what if we didn’t have to separate the two?

What if work and play could happen at the same time — even during office hours?

That’s exactly the idea behind playful work design — a concept that helps employees shape their daily tasks to be more enjoyable, interactive, and fulfilling.

Let’s dive into how this works, why it matters more than ever in today’s hybrid/remote work setup, and how tools like Deskin make it real.

Boost Productivity with Playful Work Design

What Is Playful Work Design?

In simple terms, playful work design is when employees actively shape their work environment to feel more like play — without changing the actual job.

Instead of just waiting for motivation, they create it.

Researchers Scharp et al. (2019) describe it as a proactive strategy where employees inject fun, humor, or challenge into their tasks. This is done in two main ways:

Designing fun: Making work enjoyable (e.g., adding music, humor, or friendly banter)
Designing competition: Creating personal goals or team-based challenges

And this isn’t just theory. Studies have shown that playful work design leads to more motivation, creativity, and long-term performance.

In fact, Petelczyc et al. (2018) note that “play at work” promotes engagement, positive emotion, and strong internal drive. Meanwhile, Csikszentmihalyi (2020) — the man behind the famous Flow Theory — supports this by saying that play fuels motivation and personal well-being.

Why Offices (and Remote Teams) Need Playful Work Design

Let’s be real. Most of us spend 7 to 9 hours a day working — often repeating the same rituals daily.

Even the most dedicated employees get bored when there’s no variety or challenge. That’s when creativity kicks in — and employees start finding their own ways to stay sane and energized.

This is where playful work design shows its true value.

Examples?

Break-time gaming on smartphones or office PCs
Office tournaments using repurposed desks as ping-pong tables
Personalized desks filled with mini toys, plushies, or LEGO builds
Teams adding memes, jokes, or challenges in Slack threads

The best part? These playful moments don’t hurt productivity. They often improve it.

When people enjoy their environment, they show up better. They perform better. They stay longer.

And with today’s flexible tools, remote workers can do the same.

Competition and Play Build Focus, Not Just Fun

Here’s another angle: Play isn’t just about joy — it’s about drive.

Vleet & Feeney (2015) explain that games come with targets and goals. There’s always something to achieve — and the drive to “win” keeps people focused.

Think about how powerful that can be at work.

Instead of forcing motivation, employees choose to participate in challenges — just like they do in games. They go all-in. They ignore distractions. They aim to win.

Now imagine applying that same energy to a weekly report, a sales target, or a design deadline.

When work is gamified and rewarding, people naturally push themselves.

It’s no longer about surviving the day. It’s about finishing strong.

Interactivity Sparks Collaboration

Playful work isn’t a solo thing. It's interactive.

In games, we strategize, calculate, cooperate — all to achieve a win. The same goes for teams using playful design at work.

When playful elements are added, employees are more likely to:

Share ideas
Collaborate on problem-solving
Support each other to reach shared goals

In short, playful work design helps teams bond and thrive.

Remote Work? Make Play Part of the Plan

“But what if we’re not in the office?”

Great question.

Playful work design can absolutely happen in remote or hybrid teams — especially with platforms like DeskIn.

7 Best Streaming Apps for Gamers in 2025 (Built for Beginners)

Want to share your epic gameplays live but don’t know which app to use? You're not alone.

More and more gamers want to stream their sessions—whether it’s to grow a following, entertain friends, or even start a side hustle. But with so many streaming apps out there, choosing the right one can feel like sorting inventory in survival mode.

I’ve been in the game (literally) for over a decade, and I’ve tested all the popular options. In this post, I’ll walk you through the 7 best streaming apps for gaming in 2025—what makes them great, who they're for, and how to start, Let’s jump right in.

1. Twitch

Twitch is still the go-to for most streamers—and for good reason. With a massive audience and deep integration with gaming culture, Twitch lets gamers interact in real time, build loyal communities, and even monetize their channels through subscriptions and Bits. Its features like raids, emotes, and clip sharing make it one of the best choice if you're looking to grow fast and engage consistently.

Why It's Great:

Supports PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and mobile.
You can grow fast if you're consistent.
Huge community = easier to get discovered.

2. YouTube Gaming

YouTube Gaming is a strong contender for gamers who want long-term visibility. Your streams automatically become videos, helping you build a content library. The platform also offers high-resolution streaming and reliable monetization through ads and memberships. As part of the YouTube ecosystem, it's one of the best stream apps for gaming if discoverability and content longevity are your priorities.

Why It's Great:

Everything is in one place—videos, shorts, streams.
Streamed videos stay on your channel (great for building an archive).
Powerful search and recommended videos bring traffic even after you go offline.

3. Facebook Gaming

Facebook Gaming makes streaming accessible to casual gamers and existing Facebook users. It’s easy to go live with just a few clicks, and you can reach friends or groups instantly. Plus, it integrates well with existing Facebook communities. If you're targeting your personal network or niche audiences, this is among the alternative stream apps for gaming with a social twist.

Why It's Great:

Easy to invite your friend list.
Built-in audience if you're active on Facebook.
Live chat, reactions, and share options.

4. Discord

Originally a chat platform, Discord now offers seamless game streaming inside servers. You can share your screen in high quality with minimal delay, making it perfect for private streams among friends or exclusive communities. It may not be for public broadcasting, but it’s definitely one of the best stream apps for gaming if you're prioritizing intimacy and real-time feedback.

Why It's Great:

No setup needed—just click “Go Live.”
Works well for collabs, hangouts, or coaching sessions.
Quality audio/video even on slower connections.

5. Streamlabs

Streamlabs is a broadcasting app built on OBS but with a much more user-friendly interface. It provides overlays, donation tools, and widgets that make your stream look pro with minimal effort. Whether you're streaming on Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook, this tool makes your setup smoother. For streamers who want customization, it ranks among the best stream apps for gaming.

Why It's Great:

Easy setup with built-in themes & overlays.
Supports multistreaming.
Integrated widgets (chat, alerts, donation).
Cloud sync & performance analytics

6. OBS Studio

OBS Studio is the industry standard for professional streamers. It offers full control over scenes, audio mixing, filters, and transitions. Though it has a steeper learning curve, its power is unmatched. For those who want flexibility and top-tier quality, OBS is one of the best stream apps for gaming used by esports pros and content creators alike.

Why It's Great:

Raw and flexible, perfect for users who want full control.
Open-source software for live streaming and recording.
Free and lightweight, but requires manual setup (overlays, plugins, etc).

7. Kick

Kick is a newer streaming platform that’s quickly gaining traction due to its creator-friendly policies and high revenue share. With a simple interface and fewer restrictions than other platforms, Kick is ideal for those who want a fresh start. It might still be growing, but it deserves a spot on any list of the best stream apps for gaming in 2025.

Why It's Great:

95/5 revenue split (yes, really).
Simple interface, no weird algorithm stuff.
Chill vibe and growing fast.

2. Rapid Battery Drain

Spyware and remote-access tools often run in the background, consuming battery life significantly faster than normal.

3. High Data Usage

If your mobile data usage spikes and can’t be explained by your regular app use, it may indicate data is being sent elsewhere without your consent.

4. Background Noise on Calls

Hearing electronic interference or clicking sounds during calls? It could be a sign your phone is being tapped or monitored.

5. Unknown Apps Installed

Apps you didn’t download may be malicious software installed remotely to spy on your activity, especially on Android devices.

How to Stop Someone from Accessing Your Phone Remotely

Once you suspect unauthorized access, here’s how to take back control:

1. Remove Hidden Apps via Android

Go to Settings > Apps > Manage Apps
Look for unknown or recently installed apps you didn’t authorize
Uninstall them immediately

2. Change All Your Passwords

Update your phone lock screen password
Change passwords for Google, Apple ID, and social media accounts
Use complex and unique passwords for each platform

3. Check Google or Apple Devices

On Android:
Settings > Google > Manage your Google Account > Security > Manage Devices
On iPhone:
Settings > [your name] > Scroll to see devices
Remove any unfamiliar devices from your account

4. Install a Trusted Antivirus

A good mobile antivirus can detect spyware, trojans, or keyloggers. Run a full scan to clean your phone.

5. Avoid Clicking Suspicious Links

Never tap on unknown links received via SMS, email, or messaging apps. They might install remote-access tools instantly.

6. Avoid Public Wi-Fi & Charging Stations

Hackers can exploit public networks or USB ports to inject malware. Always use VPN and your own charger when in public.

7. Factory Reset as Last Resort

If all else fails, back up your data and perform a full factory reset to wipe out any hidden malware or backdoors.

Playful Work Design: Turning Routine Jobs Into Joyful Wins

But what if we didn’t have to separate the two?

What if work and play could happen at the same time — even during office hours?

That’s exactly the idea behind playful work design — a concept that helps employees shape their daily tasks to be more enjoyable, interactive, and fulfilling.

Let’s dive into how this works, why it matters more than ever in today’s hybrid/remote work setup, and how tools like Deskin make it real.

What Is Playful Work Design?

In simple terms, playful work design is when employees actively shape their work environment to feel more like play — without changing the actual job.

Instead of just waiting for motivation, they create it.

Researchers Scharp et al. (2019) describe it as a proactive strategy where employees inject fun, humor, or challenge into their tasks. This is done in two main ways:

Designing fun: Making work enjoyable (e.g., adding music, humor, or friendly banter)
Designing competition: Creating personal goals or team-based challenges

And this isn’t just theory. Studies have shown that playful work design leads to more motivation, creativity, and long-term performance.

Why Offices (and Remote Teams) Need Playful Work Design

Let’s be real. Most of us spend 7 to 9 hours a day working — often repeating the same rituals daily.

Even the most dedicated employees get bored when there’s no variety or challenge. That’s when creativity kicks in — and employees start finding their own ways to stay sane and energized.

This is where playful work design shows its true value.

Examples?

Break-time gaming on smartphones or office PCs
Office tournaments using repurposed desks as ping-pong tables
Personalized desks filled with mini toys, plushies, or LEGO builds
Teams adding memes, jokes, or challenges in Slack threads

The best part? These playful moments don’t hurt productivity. They often improve it.

When people enjoy their environment, they show up better. They perform better. They stay longer.

And with today’s flexible tools, remote workers can do the same.

Competition and Play Build Focus, Not Just Fun

Here’s another angle: Play isn’t just about joy — it’s about drive.

Vleet & Feeney (2015) explain that games come with targets and goals. There’s always something to achieve — and the drive to “win” keeps people focused.

Think about how powerful that can be at work.

Instead of forcing motivation, employees choose to participate in challenges — just like they do in games. They go all-in. They ignore distractions. They aim to win.

Now imagine applying that same energy to a weekly report, a sales target, or a design deadline.

When work is gamified and rewarding, people naturally push themselves.

It’s no longer about surviving the day. It’s about finishing strong.

Interactivity Sparks Collaboration

Playful work isn’t a solo thing. It's interactive.

In games, we strategize, calculate, cooperate — all to achieve a win. The same goes for teams using playful design at work.

When playful elements are added, employees are more likely to:

Share ideas
Collaborate on problem-solving
Support each other to reach shared goals

In short, playful work design helps teams bond and thrive.
