You bet! To capture the screen, look here: http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?ScreenShotCode That page shows many different approaches and discusses their various tradeoffs. If speed is your goal, using OpenGL to capture the contents is the way to go. To find out when the screen changes, look through the functions in CGRemoteOperation.h. That header has functions which can be used to find out when portions of the screen change and where the change happened. However, if I may ask, given the existence of good, free VNC servers (including one that ships with the OS), why reinvent the wheel?
