Remote desktop software options include RustDesk and AnyDesk

Remote desktop and remote maintenance software options include open-source and proprietary solutions such as RustDesk and AnyDesk.

RustDesk is an open-source alternative developed in the Rust programming language. It focuses on data sovereignty by allowing users to host their own infrastructure, avoiding third-party cloud servers. It features end-to-end encryption, cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, and is designed to be GDPR-compliant.

AnyDesk is a proprietary tool that utilizes a custom codec called DeskRT to achieve low latency during remote sessions. It allows users to control monitors, keyboards, and mice remotely. While free for private use, commercial users require a monthly subscription. The software can be used portably via USB and offers mobile access through an Android application.
