The 8.8 version, released in September 2009, added support for Mac OS X v10.6, although the ability to receive clicks with modifier keys broke with the release of Mac OS X v10.6.3 (March 2010). Starting with the 8.6 version, Timbuktu has been released as a Universal Binary supporting both Intel and PowerPC-based Macs. The 8.6 version, released in March 2006, added an optional integration with Skype to enable a user to remote-control any of their Skype contacts who have Timbuktu installed.

Both the Mac and Windows versions can use a standalone user database or integrate with the respective platform's 'standard' user database (OpenDirectory on the Mac, and Active Directory or NT Users on Windows). The program has integrated support for Secure Shell (ssh) tunneling for those who require additional security. Timbuktu versions 5.1 and earlier initiate connections over UDPport 407, though versions 5.2 and later use TCP port 407. In addition to the remote control features (screen-sharing), Timbuktu also allows for file transfers, system profiling, voice and text chat, and remote activity notifications.
