About This Project

RustDesk delivers enterprise-grade remote desktop capabilities without surrendering control of your data. Built with Rust for memory safety and blazing performance, it enables direct peer-to-peer connections between devices while giving you the option to deploy your own relay servers for complete data sovereignty.

Unlike proprietary solutions that route traffic through unknown servers, RustDesk puts you in charge. The application supports multiple protocols and works seamlessly across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Its Flutter-based UI ensures consistent user experience while the Rust backend guarantees low latency and resource efficiency.

Whether you're managing a fleet of servers, providing remote support, or accessing your home workstation, RustDesk eliminates recurring subscription fees and privacy concerns. The open-source architecture allows security audits, custom modifications, and integration into existing infrastructure without vendor lock-in.

With features like file transfer, clipboard sync, multiple monitor support, and Wayland compatibility, RustDesk rivals commercial alternatives while respecting your freedom. Deploy it behind your firewall, customize authentication mechanisms, and maintain full audit trails of all connections.
