CLOSER, WITHOUT THE COMPLICATIONS

Good connections.
Thoughtful details.

Everything you need to share a desktop.
A little more say in how you share it.

See it. Together.

Share a screen through WebRTC. Choose your quality, go full screen, and keep an eye on connection stats.

SCREEN SHARING 01

A hand, when you want it.

Start with view only. Allow mouse and keyboard control when it helps, and take it back whenever you choose.

OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL 02

Familiar faces. Saved.

Keep device names and notes in your address book. Find recent sessions without saving anyone's password.

LOCAL ADDRESS BOOK 03

AN INVITATION, NOT AN OPEN DOOR

You invite.
You stay in control.

Every session starts with a password and a person saying yes. Here's how it comes together.

  1. 01
    Share an invitation

    Pass along your device ID and current session password.

  2. 02
    Let them in

    Review the request. Accept when you're ready.

  3. 03
    Make it a shared moment

    View together. Allow control only if you want it.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Before you
say hello.

Read the getting started guide ↗
Does someone need to be at the other computer?+

Yes. Desk Viewer is built for attended sessions. The host shares their current password and must explicitly accept every connection request. Unattended access is not available.

Can I choose who controls my computer?+

Sessions begin in view-only mode. The host can allow mouse and keyboard control and revoke it during the session. Windows, macOS, and Linux X11 have platform-specific requirements. Wayland hosts remain view only.

Will it work between different operating systems?+

The desktop code targets Windows, macOS, and Linux, and each installation can host or view. Windows is the primary tested platform; macOS and Linux require native builds and testing. macOS hosting needs Screen Recording permission, and control needs Accessibility permission.

What does Desk Viewer include?+

Screen sharing, optional remote input, a local address book, recent connections, themes, and session statistics. File transfer, clipboard sync, audio, recording, and unattended access are not implemented.

Is Desk Viewer ready for a public rollout?+

This is an attended remote-access prototype. Use controlled pilots while release work is completed. The current app uses plain WebSocket signaling; deploy trusted WSS signaling and rebuild the client before distributing beyond development. Signing, platform verification, and the security review are part of the release process. Read the release guidance.
