It includes everything in Pro, plus unlock from anywhere. Traffic is end-to-end encrypted. Security: Your PC password never leaves your PC. It is stored encrypted on the computer; the phone holds the key and never sees the password. Traffic between your devices is encrypted with a key created during pairing. Cloud traffic is end-to-end encrypted, so the servers cannot read it. For more detailed information, please visit https://github.com/MeisApps/pcbu-desktop/blob/main/README.md Additional notes: To pair locally, both devices must be on the same network or Wi-Fi. The unlock process can be cancelled at any time by pressing Ctrl+Alt on the PC. Wake on LAN is also supported and a widget is available. There's a Wear OS companion app for Wake on LAN too, and it comes with a tile so you can wake your devices without having to reach for your phone. Support: Having problems?
