Chicken of the VNC is a fast, lightweight VNC client for Mac OS X. A VNC client allows one to display and interact with a remote computer screen. In other words, you can use Chicken of the VNC to interact with a remote computer as though it's right next to you.

Version 2.0b4

Chicken of the VNC does not work well with spaces. If you use CTRL-Arrow keys to switch spaces, it leaves CotV in a strange state.

CotV is no longer supported. A new open source project "Chicken" is available.

And what about the current version 2.0b4?

I tried to connect to two different Lion machines from a Snow Leopard machine using Chicken of the VNC, both failed. I don't think it's a Chicken of the VNC problem, because I couldn't get them to work properly using Mocha on iPad either. I think something is borked on the Apple Remote Desktop side (and yes, I did install the 3.5.1 update of ARD on Lion.)

I'm not sure where this info comes from; v 1.36 is a PowerPC app - won't even launch in Lion.

The 2.0b4 launches, but can't connect to my Mac Mini; unlike the user above, I am attempting to connect a Lion machine to a Snow Leopard machine…

Any info on an update?

I am also using 2.0b4, and connecting successfully from a Lion machine to a Snow Leopard machine. Works pretty well except that I cannot seem to do a "right-click" (even tried a Ctrl-click).

If I try connect it takes very long to connect and then I just see the login screen and not the desktop of the logged in user. Somehow the vnc stuff changed a lot in Lion.
