Overview
ARDMonitor shows the state of Apple Remote Desktop (disabled, enabled, connected) - even if the Administrator asked for permission to monitor/control (that's what ARD's menu extra doesn't).
ARDMonitor comes in two flavours:
- "ARDMonitor" - The normal faceless program which will show an icon on the right side of the menu bar.
- "ARDMonitor unquittable" - The same as the above, but it lacks the option to quit the program - maybe useful if you're dealing with lusers.
Features
- status menu item
- Notifications[1]
- displays your IP- and MAC-addresses, also computer name
- disconnect administrators (not with AppStore[2]-Version, also does only work if the Administrator did ask for permission to control[3])
Screenshots

Download
Did I mention it is free software? Download and enjoy!
There is also a version in Apple's AppStore available, but that one lacks capability to disconnect administrators due to because of the Sandboxing-Restrictions... (see here).
License
Please read the Readme-file for details. Short: basically it's just free. :-)

- Meta
- Footnotes:
- ↑ required Mac OS X 10.8 or higher
- ↑ Sandboxing sucks!
- ↑ since ARD Admin will reconnect as soon as the connection breaks, it will not work if ARD Admin knows Login/Password to (re-)connect
- ↑ including Mac OS X 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks)
