URL Schemes in Screens ➝

I use Screens to manage our home server remotely from my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Air. It’s an excellent piece of software and is my favorite VNC app by far. I just discovered that the app supports URL schemes, which means you can launch directly into a saved screen through an automation app like Shortcuts.

I setup a shortcut that is saved to my home screen with two actions:

  • A URL action with screens://[name of home server]
  • An Open URL action.

That’s it. Now I can tap on the shortcut and access our home server without having to select it from Screens’ interface.
