Older Versions of AnyDesk that supports macOS 10.10 can be found here

There are currently two installation modes for AnyDesk for macOS, A) a full installation and B) a portable installation:

A) The full installation installs both the AnyDesk client as well as the AnyDesk Services which is required to use features such as being able to connect to the macOS AnyDesk client while the user account has been switched or logged out of. To do full installation, simply click the orange 'Install Now' tile in the main AnyDesk window and accept the Terms and Conditions.

B) On the other hand, the portable installation only installs the AnyDesk client. To do so, simply drag & drop the AnyDesk application within the .DMG file to the Applications folder on the macOS device. To convert the portable installation to a full installation, simply click AnyDesk in the top global menu bar and select Install AnyDesk Service....

The Problems AnyDesk Gets Solved The first reason you may have to visit a remote computer is that you need some files stored on it. It might be your notes, your office documents, photos, movies, audio files – whatever. With AnyDesk, you can copy the files you need from your remote device to the one you use now. You can even copy the text from within an application on a remote desktop and paste it into one on your current one.
Another reason to use AnyDesk is remote help. If someone from your company or family experiences difficulty, you can access their computer with your AnyDesk app from wherever you are and intervene into the system to fix it. Vice versa, you can ask for help via the application. All you need is AnyDesk download for laptop or PC. Then install the server part and grant the client access to it. If there are users at both the client and the server device, they can communicate using a built-in chat.
Whatever device you use to access the remote one, you can emulate the traditional mouse-and-keyboard inputs with those you have. The app supports regular mice and keyboards across various systems, so you can connect one to your smartphone and operate a remote PC like you usually do. Touch controls are also provided for that purpose. Even the remote for Apple TV can be used to emulate a mouse if you run the app on Apple TV.
The features you can use remotely via AnyDesk include printing files (from remote sources on remote printers), sharing your desktop to other devices, discovering connected devices, using them as a whiteboard (helpful during presentations), and so on. You can download AnyDesk even to old devices: its system requirements are so moderate that even a decade old PC can handle it.
The publisher provides Anydesk download free of any charge on the official site. By installing it, you are not obliged to make any payments. This AnyDesk download is fully functional, except for features that need license, like simultaneous connections. You can purchase your license for AnyDesk online, making the payment right on its website, if you really need one.
