RustDesk Overview
RustDesk is a free, open-source remote-desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux, positioned as a self-hostable alternative to commercial tools like TeamViewer and AnyDesk. It lets you control another computer over the internet with file transfer, chat, and unattended access, and a key draw is that you can run your own relay/rendezvous server for full control over your data and connections — important for organizations with privacy or compliance needs — or use the public servers. Being open source, its code can be inspected. It works out of the box for quick remote sessions. Because the download is a complete installer, RustDesk installs without needing a connection during setup. Builds are available for desktop and mobile, and the server software is also open source, so the entire stack can be inspected and run in-house.
