1 out of 5 starsIt has nothing of what one might expect in a modern vnc client. There are other, alas not open-source, alternatives; also built-in screensharing works better, especially in a mac2mac situation

1 out of 5 starsThe interface is pretty horrific. Sometimes it just locks up the Mac in a gray screen and won't accept the fullscreen toggle shortcut key. Yikes!

1 out of 5 starsUseless. VNC Client comes with OSX. From Finder, "Go | Connect to Server" (or CMD-K), then (for example): vnc://ip-or-dns.com:5900/ If you want to pre-populate the user or user/pass, the standard HTTP conventions work: The only reason to use a 3rd party client is stronger security (which Chicken does not provide).

5 out of 5 starsThe only thing that gets me anoyed is that then I have to restart Chicken of the VNC if I want to open another connection. But that's not major problem anyway, I think its better than killing Mac OS to have control again

1 out of 5 starsThis app is poorly maintained, not having a release in 4 years. The fork looks to be a preferable alternative. The forked project name is also on SF with the name of just "chicken"

5 out of 5 starsAwesome app. Just what i need. Go on buddy!

5 out of 5 starsI used to use Timbuktu Pro. It's a great application with lots of features...most of which I never use. For most everyday remote VNC purposes, Chicken of the VNC (in conjunction with Vine Server) is simpler, faster, easier to use, and does about 99% of what I need in such an application. In fact, I haven't updated Timbuktu, and I don't expect I'll need to. This is a great application!
