Installing both components is straightforward, though the Mac agent requires you to provide your admin password (as you might expect for an app that lets you control your Mac remotely), and it doesn’t include an uninstaller. On your Mac, you download and install an agent which handles the interactions with the iOS app. To set up Parallels Access, you first install the free Parallels Access app on your iOS device(s), and then sign in to your Parallels account. Combine those changes with new lower subscription pricing, and the second version of Parallels Access is a remote-access solution worth considering. Version 2 of Parallels Access includes a new file browser, an iPhone version of the iOS app, the capability to use your iOS device’s microphone to dictate to Mac apps, multiple screen-resolution options, and a wake-on-LAN feature.

You can connect either over a local network, or (as long as both machines are connected to the Internet) over the Internet. Parallels Access 2.0 is a remote-access app that lets you view and control your Mac or Windows machine from any iOS device.
