SpyMe is a remote management utility. It allows supervising a remote Mac's screen, as well as keyboard and mouse actions on a remote Mac. SpyMe was developed for (and by) people who need to support other remote Mac users, who might not always have a high speed internet connection.

In order to improve speed, SpyMe contains the following technologies:
- All screen data is JPEG compressed before transmitting, using Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger's Core Image system for fast compression and decompression.
- Screens can be scaled down by a factor of 1x, 2x, 4x, or 8x of their original size. A 2x scaled down screen reduces the amount of data to be transmitted by 75%.
- Scaled down screen details can be inspected using a live magnifying glass.
- Long term remote screen supervision is supported by displaying remote screens live in the background of your desktop.
- Total screen capture, including OpenGL, Games, Full Screen (iPhoto).
- Bandwidth Control, limit used bandwidth to optimize quality and response.

Besides this, SpyMe supports the usual stuff like file sending/receiving, pasteboard sending/receiving, and a connection doctor for live connection quality statistics. SpyMe runs native on any PowerPC or Intel based Mac and is a Universal Application.
