If I connect the RasPi to my laptop by USB is there any software

Probably not what you're after, but when I need to commission or
fix an otherwise headless Rpi I use an HDMI USB dongle on the laptop
(
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BL3HVMWW). The Rpi screen is then
available in the default camera "app". I have to plug in a small
keyboard, but this saves needing another monitor.
There are network KVM solutions around that handle it all, making
a physical device look just like a remote desktop session, but this
approach needs no extra software, and just works.
(You probably wouldn't want to do graphics design or CAD with this
setup, but for setting the hostname / Wifi / whatever and un-buggering
the customised read-only boot script I use it is quite handy).
