ShareTool is the smart and secure way to take your home or office network with you wherever you go. So smart, in fact, that we've been named a Mac Gem and an Apple Staff Pick.

ShareTool is a fast, extremely secure, and magical way to remain connected to your home or office network(s) no matter where you are physically. While connected with ShareTool, many shared (Bonjour-enabled) services on your remote home or office network automatically appear in your Finder, iTunes, iPhoto, and tons of other applications (just as they would if you were physically located at that network).
What's New
Version 2.3.2:
  • New: Improved support for UPnP routers.
  • New: "Connect Automatically" option is more reliable.
  • Fixed: Issue with private key files in custom locations.
  • Other: Various bug fixes and tweaks.
  • Other: The demo period has been reset for all users.
Requirements
PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later

I couldn't get ShareTool to work in neither a Lion nor a Snow Leopard boot partition on my MBP. I emailed the dev with screen shots of my settings and was told I was good to go. There's probably a settings issue with my router, but the dev never got back to me to trouble shoot. The 6 day trial is ridiculously short if there's no response for tech support. I'll find another way.

Rating ShareTool 1/2 a star in your situation is unwarranted and baseless. There are thousands of users using ShareTool successfully on a daily basis. Whatever it is that is not working for you is unique to your setup and is unlikely to be a bug or shortcoming in ShareTool. Further, I answer ALL my emails so there is no way I didn't respond to you if I actually received your message. Regardless, I'll be happy to take a look if you can provide me with useful info. Thank you. Johnny.

Sorry, Johnny, you didn't reply to my email, or I would be up and running with ShareTool and I wouldn't be writing this. I take these reviews seriously, because it's too easy to fake them. Users should know when there's a problem with a product or the support for the product.

There is no problem with the product or the support for the product. If your network is setup in a way that doesn't make it possible for ShareTool (or any other similar apps) to function properly, then unfortunately, there isn't much we can do. Like with any app, there are certain requirements that need to be met. ShareTool cannot function on networks restricted by firewalls or improperly configured routers. If that's the case, then someone in the know should be assisting in troubleshooting and tweaking of your network setup. I can assist only so much unfortunately. I am not physically there with you. And again, I respond to all messages I receive.

I can access my iTunes library anywhere around the world! Screenshare my Mac Mini and iMac from work. Transfer files I forgot at home. Help out my wife without wondering what she's looking at the screen... priceless!

Thanks Yazsoft!

Works absolutely great, easy to use (also for my wife), perfect out-of-the-box solution.
There“s nothing else to add than: Thanx Yazsoft

Also thanx to Jonny for quick email resposnse and quick troubleshooting.
I really appreciate that kind of business. No need to think about Back-to-my-Mac or VPNTracker (which works well but is quite more difficult to install and lightyears more expensive).

Yazsoft got one satisfied customer more.

Wonderful and easy way to network. Has taken all the headaches out and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Who needs VPN or SSH with this!

Well done Yazsoft!

I have used this app for about 3 years, and it just keeps getting better and the support is outstanding. Best way to log in to your computer from elsewhere, hands down

I've been using ST for several months to provide remote support to friends/family. It works well, avoiding the hassle of manually setting up SSH tunnels, mapping ports, etc. Once you're connected to the remote network, file shares appear just as if they were locally mounted, and you can share screens, route jobs to printers, etc.

Access is one-way: users on the office (central) network can't access assets on the 'remote' Mac.

Support is phenomenal: Johnny and his colleagues are very responsive and have quickly answered my e-mails anytime I've needed to contact them.

ShareTool was recommended to me by an Apple tech at the genius bar for remote access to my home office. I couldn't be happier with the recommendation and the app itself. I had a question; Johnny from Yazsoft responded in less than a minute with a detailed response - I was floored. He even suggested I try out competing apps to really understand why ShareTool stands out. I did - I downloaded Slink. At first it looks alright, but then it was way too cumbersome to use and didn't really feel as integrated as ShareTool. If Apple recommends ShareTool, there's a reason for it and I believe it now. Highly recommended - and Johnny, if you ever need a job in advertising - call me!!

ShareTool is the smart and secure way to take your home or office network with you wherever you go. So smart, in fact, that we've been named a Mac Gem and an Apple Staff Pick.

ShareTool is a fast, extremely secure, and magical way to remain connected to your home or office network(s) no matter where you are physically. While connected with ShareTool, many shared (Bonjour-enabled) services on your remote home or office network automatically appear in your Finder, iTunes, iPhoto, and tons of other applications (just as they would if you were physically located at that network).

For example, let's assume you're away for business or on vacation somewhere. With ShareTool, you would be able to:
  • encrypt all of your web traffic and route it through your home network
  • browse the web securely
  • listen to your entire home iTunes music library,
  • iTunes Home Sharing fully supported across the internet
  • control the screen of any of your home computers,
  • grab that important file you forgot to bring with you
  • connect to your FileMaker Pro database
  • connect to your complete home iPhoto library
  • print on your home network
  • and a whole lot more
ShareTool automatically provides Bonjour over VPN connections as well. No messy configuration required. In addition, you can run ShareTool as a Mac OS X service via a background daemon. This means you don't actually need to be logged in as a user to share your network. Further, ShareTool 2 supports connecting to multiple networks at the same time! There no longer is a limit to the number of networks you can be connected to simultaneously.

ShareTool is the smartest, safest, and most efficient way to access your home or office networks no matter where you are.
