RDesk Remote Desktop: PC & Mac

RDesk is a remote desktop app that lets you control your own Windows PC or Mac from your phone, as if you were sitting in front of it. Open a file, check on a download, use a desktop app or fix something at home without getting up.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account and no sign-up.
• Remote access goes directly between your phone and your computer. Screen, sound and every tap are end-to-end encrypted with AES-256-GCM. We never see your screen.

SMOOTH, WITH SOUND
• Hardware H.264 video at up to 60 fps, with adaptive bitrate so it stays responsive on Wi-Fi and mobile data.
• Hear your computer's audio while you watch or listen remotely.
• If the connection drops, or you switch to another app for a moment, RDesk reconnects automatically.

REMOTE CONTROL THAT FEELS LIKE A MOUSE
• See the computer's real cursor. Slide to move it, tap to click, hold or tap with two fingers to right-click, tap then hold and drag to select.
• Two fingers to scroll, pinch to zoom, three fingers to move the picture.
• Prefer to touch exactly where you want to click? Switch to touch mode.

MADE FOR PHONES
• A toolbar at the bottom that tucks away into a small handle you can move.
• One-tap landscape. The screen moves up when the keyboard opens, so you can see what you type.
• Works with input methods and hardware keyboards. Special keys panel with Esc, Tab, arrow keys, Ctrl and Alt combinations, copy and paste, and app switching.
• Light and dark themes, available in 10 languages.

GET STARTED IN 3 STEPS
1. Install the free RDesk Host on your computer: rdeskapp.com
2. Connect your phone and the computer to the same Wi-Fi
3. Enter the address, device ID and password shown on the computer

AWAY FROM HOME?
RDesk Host can create a temporary encrypted sharing link for remote access over the internet. RDesk also works with networking tools you may already use, such as Tailscale (optional).

The host is open source and runs on macOS 14 or later and Windows 10 / 11.

WARNING: if someone you don't know and trust asks you to install RDesk or tell them your password, stop. They may be trying to scam you.
