You can do it manually which is a big fat pain. There are two ways to connect to your desktop.

You buy the mobile app as described, and then you install Jump Desktop Connect on your Mac/PC. If you use iOS and Android though, you have to buy a license for each.
If you buy it on Android, it works on all of your Android devices to drive all of your Macs and PCs. If you buy it for iOS it works on all of your iOS devices to drive all of your Macs and PCs. The second thing to like is that it’s available for Android too, and it can control both Macs and PCs. The first thing to like is that Jump Desktop is only $15 for iOS. I hadn’t heard of Jump Desktop before, so I decided to check it out. This week, Tim Chaten of Club Nintendo and the iPad Pro Podcast mentioned on Twitter that he uses an app called Jump Desktop from to control his Mac from his iPad. In any case, I never went forward with a purchase of Screens. I wish I’d documented the problem, but it’s possible the version in SetApp was limited in some way. When I had a SetApp subscription I gave it a whirl and it didn’t do what I wanted. I’ve heard Dave Hamilton of the Mac Geek Gab talk often about Screens and how well it works for him. In any case, it would be slick to be able to have my 12.9″ iPad act like a Mac. Maybe because I’ve walked 9 miles already? While I run/walk over 9 miles a day and around 18,000 steps, the idea of going up the stairs to do something quickly on my laptop when I’m all comfy in my easy chair in front of the TV is exhausting. The problem to be solved is pure laziness. For a long time I’ve wanted an app that would allow me to control my Mac from my iPad.
