Screen task works excellently, but I feel with a few more options would take it to the next level.

Right now it always defaults to localhost, I'm not sure what use that is. I would like to be able to set it to default to wi-fi.

Also, it would be nice to have it be able to start the server as soon as the program is opened.

Further, it would be excellent if ScreenTask could start and stay in the background.

Then combined with a static IP, ScreenTask would be an extremely easy to use and powerful tool. My client works in an office with one other person and often he needs to view what's on his secretary's screen. If her computer launched this at startup in the background, then he could just have her static IP bookmarked and peak in at documents she wants to show him without her needing to launch anything.
