================================

System requirements
-------------------
- Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit
- iPhone or iPad running MacPad
- The computer and mobile device should use the same local network for free LAN control

Quick start
-----------
1. Extract the entire MacPadHost folder. Do not move MacPadHost.exe out by itself.
2. Double-click MacPadHost.exe.
3. If Windows Firewall asks, allow access on private networks.
4. Open MacPad on the iPhone or iPad and select this computer.
5. Enter the six-digit PIN shown by MacPad Host.

What is included

- ffmpeg.exe: screen capture and low-latency video encoding
- VERSION.txt: package and runtime versions
- THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt and LICENSES: open-source notices and licenses

Troubleshooting
---------------
- No computer is discovered: confirm both devices are on the same network and
  MacPad Host is allowed through Windows Firewall on private networks.
- Input works but the screen is blank: keep ffmpeg.exe next to MacPadHost.exe,
  then quit MacPad Host from the tray and start it again.
- Windows SmartScreen appears: verify the ZIP SHA-256 against
  https://macpad.fenghailing.com/download/checksums.txt before choosing More info.
- UAC-elevated windows: run MacPad Host as administrator only when you need to
  control another elevated application.

Auto-start and removal
----------------------
MacPad Host can start when you sign in. Toggle this from the tray menu. To remove
the app, disable Start with Windows, quit from the tray, and delete this folder.
