NetDesk is the fast, secure remote desktop you fully own. Your server, your keys, your data — never a third-party cloud. The alternative to TeamViewer, AnyDesk and RustDesk, free for individuals.
The private alternative to
All the power of TeamViewer Pro and RustDesk — running on infrastructure you own.
AES-256-GCM with ephemeral ECDH keys. Even your own server can't see the screen — only the two endpoints hold the keys.
Hardware H.264 up to 1080p60, WebCodecs decode in the browser, adaptive quality. Buttery-smooth even over the internet.
Install as a boot-time service. Reach the logon screen and UAC prompts, across reboots — no one has to be at the PC.
Browse, drag-and-drop, upload whole folders, two-way clipboard sync, and remote printing — all end-to-end encrypted.
Switch displays live, see the real remote cursor, record the session, chat, and manage processes and power remotely.
Connect from any browser on any laptop or phone — nothing to install on the viewer side. Install the PWA for one-tap access.
TeamViewer and AnyDesk route your sessions through their cloud and charge per seat. NetDesk runs on your server.
