Continuo lives in the menu bar. There is no dock icon; close every window and the app keeps running.
Status icon
The icon reflects connection state. Disconnected means no active session. Connected means paired Macs are reachable on the network. Active means you are controlling a remote Mac; the active peer’s name may appear in the label.
If the icon vanishes, see Menu bar icon missing.
Paired and Available
The panel lists two groups. Paired shows Macs you have trusted. Each row shows status, optional latency, and icon actions: Connect (when the peer is online but not in a session), Disconnect, Unpair, and Wake Now (when Wake-on-LAN is enabled and the peer may be asleep). Available shows Macs discovered on the network that are not yet paired. Choose Pair to start the three-word flow.
Quick actions
Arrange displays opens Settings → Macs. Settings is ⌘,. Quit Continuo is ⌘Q.
When mesh sleep sync is enabled and at least one paired peer is online, a Mesh Sleep Sync block appears with participant counts and Keep Mesh Awake / Allow This Mac to Sleep Now actions, matching Settings → Advanced.
Move control without crossing the desk
Click a paired peer and choose Connect to move control there without dragging across the full desk layout. There is no separate teleport hotkey in the current release; see Keyboard shortcuts.
Permissions banner
If Some permissions are off appears at the top, tap Open System Settings to jump to the relevant pane.
Hide the icon
Settings → General → Show menu bar icon can hide the status item. Reset there if you need to bring it back.
