Mac host setup

Install the Remote Comp menu bar agent.

The Mac agent runs from your menu bar, shows the pairing code, opens the required Screen & System Audio and Accessibility setup, and checks for signed updates from Remote Comp.

Send testers to remotecomp.app/mac. The download button always uses the latest signed and notarized Mac agent DMG.
